1. Target fraud victims with keyword ads
Recently, we discover that fraud groups are targeting fraud victims in an attempt to commit secondary fraud.
When searching for “ADCC Anti-Fraud Coordination Center” on Google, the first search result that appears is “Help you recover losses and anti-fraud | What should you do if you are defraud? Contact us for quick recovery.”
The ADCC Anti-Fraud Coordination Center is run by the Hong Kong Police A unit dicat to combating and preventing fraud has been establish under the Commercial Crime Bureau.
But when people want to search for this official organization, the first search result that appears is not the Hong Kong Police.

2. Pretending to use the names of Police Lithuania Phone Number List Department 165 and ADCC Anti-Fraud Coordination Center
After clicking to enter the URL, I found that this website tri to impersonate the 165 National Fraud Prevention Network of the Police Department of the Ministry of Interior, and also nam it the ADCC Anti-Fraud Coordination Center. One of them is a police unit in Taiwan and the other is a police unit in Hong Kong. However, the fraud group actually us these two units are plac directly together.
Moreover, in the “About Us” column below, it states that it is a Taiwanese non-profit organization, the Global Anti-Fraud Alliance, but the departments mention later, “Banking Regulatory Bureau” and “Communications Authority” are not Taiwanese departments.
3. Inducing people to join LINE
After clicking “Free Legal Consultation”, the webpage will jump to the screen of scanning LINE QRcode to add friends.
And it is a private account, not a certifi official account. If it is really from the police unit, how can it be possible to use a private LINE account to contact!
