Hong Kong police launch lucky draws with HK$3 million in prizes to boost Scameter app downloads


Hong Kong police will launch lucky draws with HK$3 million (US$385,311) worth of prizes to encourage residents to download an anti-scam app amid a surge in fraud cases, with an electric vehicle also up for grabs.

The force announced the plan this week to help its Scameter app gain traction, after reporting a 12 per cent year-on-year surge in the number of scam cases to more than 24,000 in the first seven months of 2024.
