Kenneth Poon on Scams (Countermeasures) and Other Matters Bill
People often think about scams in terms of two groups - scammers and victims. However, the situation may be more complicated, said NMP Kenneth Poon in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8). He asked if operational guidelines will enable officers to distinguish between someone deliberately facilitating a scam and someone whose involvement reflects manipulation or significant cognitive vulnerability. He asked how such circumstances will be assessed and how such individuals can get continued access to essential services if account disabling orders are issued.
