HKMA releases new anti-fraud A.I. music video “Confronting Lachachu” while innovative promotional strategy wins international “Communications Initiative” award In recent years, the HKMA has been proactively enhancing public awareness of fraud prevention through innovative approaches. The launch of this new video sustains the down-to-earth approach in previous promotional efforts. With joint action in building a collective defence against scams in the society, fraud cases have shown signs of slowing down in recent years. The Hong Kong Police Force’s statistics indicate that 43 212 fraud cases were recorded in 2025 – a 2.9 per cent drop from 2024, marking the first decrease since 2019.
The HKMA’s approach to public education has garnered international recognition. The HKMA has launched an anti-fraud song “Don’t Click Links Indiscriminately”, co-performed by Yuen and singer Wan Kwong, as well as the “Lachachu”‘s interactive promotion of anti-fraud messages in the community. These initiatives have been recognised with the “Central Banking Awards 2026 – Communications Initiative”Issued at HKT 14:40
