PCPD 30th Anniversary Presents –
Public Seminar on “Preventing Scams in the Digital Era”

With the rapid development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), scammers are exploiting various channels to commit fraud, including phishing SMS messages, scams carried out through instant messaging applications, social media deception, fake online shops, QR‑code traps, and even AI‑generated deepfake videos or AI‑cloned voices to impersonate family members, colleagues, or service providers, which are difficult to guard against.

Against this background, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) organises this seminar, where Ir Alex CHAN, Assistant Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Compliance, Global Affairs and Research), will share with the public how to protect themselves in the AI era, including how to use AI chatbots, smartphones and social media wisely to safeguard personal data privacy. Mr Stephanie ANG, Senior Inspector of the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC) of the Commercial Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force, will also discuss the latest trends of emerging scams, using real cases as examples, and share anti-scam tips.

Members of the public with an interest in the topic are welcome to attend. Enrolment is on a first-come-first-served basis. For registration, please click:
