Hong Kong is known to be one of the safest cities in the world. Unfortunately, we are not immune from the global trend of rising scams and fraud, which is a top crime world-wide. According to local statistics, students are primary targets of scammers in Hong Kong. Many had fallen victims to scammer's ever-changing tricks, incurring financial loss and emotional distress.As such, the University is offering this Anti-Scam Challenge (ASCM1000) to all new students, in collaboration with the HKSAR Government. It aims to raise student's awareness towards common scam tricks / topics, alert you about possible responses, and walk you through some prevention tips. By participating in this challenge, we hope you could gain a better understanding of scams and be scam-smart.You MUST pass the challenge by 22 Feb 2026 (23:59) to maintain access to all library resources (including all electronic resources and physical access).
