The Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) organised two property fraud seminars in conjunction with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on July 19 and 21 to share with practitioners the latest information on and tips to prevent property fraud. Over 300 participants from various professional sectors, such as the real estate sector as well as the banking and licensed money-lending sector, attended the seminars.

Officiating at the opening ceremony, Senior Superintendent (SSP) of CCB Kong Man-keung said the function aimed at heightening the vigilance of practitioners of the related sectors towards property fraud and alerting them of the latest modus operandi of fraudsters.

Apart from presentations by CCB officers, experts from the Immigration Department and the Government Laboratory were invited to explain the security features of the Hong Kong identity cards and share their experience in identifying false documents.
