In view of the recent upward trend of fraud cases in Macao, and to enhance the awareness of UM staff members on the threat that this may bring, a seminar on “Fraud Prevention” was held on 8 March 2023 (Wednesday), and we have invited two criminal investigators from the Judiciary Police, Mr. HONG Kam Fat and Mr. TANG Wai Wa, to serve as guest speakers. The seminar was very well received. Nearly 100 colleagues participated.

During the seminar, speakers from the Judiciary Police presented the recent increase of fraud cases in Macao, the new and common types of fraud (e.g., scam calls, Internet fraud), the tips and strategies for fraud prevention, the promotion work of the Safe School Network, as well as the technique in handling of fraud cases (e.g., reports from students). 

The University hopes that this seminar can enhance UM staff’s understanding on various types of fraud, and to increase their awareness on fraud prevention and skills in handling fraud cases.
