A mobile app that can effectively protect users from falling victim to phone scams has been developed by a cross-disciplinary research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU).

 

A prototype of the mobile app was developed at the invitation of the Hong Kong Police Force, and a pilot study showed promising results.

Dr Jessica Li Chi-mei, Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Social Sciences and the cross-disciplinary research team will explain the project and results of the pilot study at the press conference. In addition, two trial users will share their user experiences. Representatives of the Hong Kong Police and HKJunkCall will be present, too.
