Officers from the Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) were invited to attend two seminars addressing fraud prevention held by a local financial institution on May 22. The themes of the two anti-scam seminars were Identifying Forged Identity Cards and Introduction to Various Currencies in Circulation and Identifying their Authenticity respectively. The seminars were conducted offline and online, attracting participation of more than 500 frontline operational staff from various banks.

Apart from offering guidance to the frontline bank staff on identifying forged identity cards and counterfeit currencies, CCB officers also reminded them of digital frauds and phishing messages sent by criminals posing as government agencies and merchants, as well as providing them with a wide range of countermeasures to enhance their ability in handling fraud cases.

Acting Inspector of CCB Miao Kuei-chieh explains how to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit currencies.
