Officials from law enforcement, security, banks, and regulatory agencies launched a citywide anti-fraud education campaign during a ceremony on Thursday.
Led by the Hong Kong Association of Banks and a task force of 19 member banks, the initiative aims to strengthen public awareness and resilience amid the rising financial cost of scams, which caused HK$8 billion ($1.02 billion) in losses across over 43,000 cases last year.
