香港政府拟强化措施防范电话网络诈骗

香港政府正考虑采取多项防范措施应对电话和网络诈骗问题。1商务及经济发展局局长丘应樺在答覆立法会议员质询时表示，政府拟降低个人用户可登记电话卡的数量上限，同时订立新罪行，对在没有合法权限或没有合理辩解之下不当使用他人电话卡的行为进行刑事处罚。1此外，政府还在全面检讨电话智能卡实名登记制的整体运作。1

香港今年首季诈骗案件形势严峻。1当季共录得9427宗诈骗案，造成港币18.5亿元的总损失。1其中老年人和退休人士成为重点受害群体，有1264人遭诈骗，损失金额达5.3亿元，较去年同期上升3成。1

Hong Kong's government is examining enhanced strategies to prevent telephone and internet fraud, with proposals including reducing the maximum number of SIM cards that individual users can register and establishing new criminal offences for unauthorized use of others' phone cards 1. These considerations were outlined by the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau Director in response to questions raised in the Legislative Council 1.

The measures come against a backdrop of significant fraud activity in the territory. During the first quarter of this year, Hong Kong recorded 9,427 fraud cases resulting in total losses of HK$1.85 billion 1. Elderly and retired individuals proved particularly vulnerable, with 1,264 victims in this demographic sustaining losses of HK$530 million—representing a 30 percent increase compared to the same period last year 1. The government is conducting a comprehensive review of the overall operation of the telephone SIM card real-name registration system 1.
