Hong Kong police have arrested a 15-year-old girl in connection with seven phone scams that targeted elderly individuals living alone. The scams involved a 'guess who I am' style, where the victims were informed that their family members had been arrested and needed bail payments. The girl was recruited by fraudsters through Instagram and was instructed to receive the money. The largest loss amounted to HK$1.26 million suffered by an 81-year-old woman. The girl has been detained on charges of obtaining property by deception, and further arrests may follow. Fraud cases in Hong Kong have been increasing, with over 90,000 reported crimes in 2023, representing a 28.9% rise from the previous year....
