To step up combat actions against deception and increase public awareness of various kinds of scams, the Hong Kong Police Force set up the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC) under the Commercial Crime Bureau with a view to consolidating all the relevant efforts of the Force in fighting and preventing the crime.
Coming into operation on 20 July 2017, the ADCC operates an all-day enquiry hotline, “Anti-Scam Helpline 18222”, to provide immediate consultation for the general public and enhance support to frontline units of the Force in order to handle suspicious deception cases in a more effective manner.
