Central News Agency (Central News Agency Reporter Chang Chien, Hong Kong, July 1) According to reports, fraud groups impersonating "Beijing CCTV reporters" have recently appeared at some exhibitions in Hong Kong, with the aim of defrauding interviewees of money. CCTV has issued a statement to clarify. According to today's report in the Sing Tao Daily, a fake CCTV reporter interview team appeared at the Hong Kong Home Show held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre recently, and some exhibitors confirmed they were almost deceived. The report stated that the above case is a recently popular scam routine of impersonating CCTV. The scam method is to ostensibly invite the victim to a high-class hotel for an interview, or even award titles, but in reality, the entire interview team is fake. The purpose is to coerce and lure the victim into signing "sky-high publicity contracts" worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, or to demand the purchase of fake plaques. The report indicated that many exhibitors have stated that these fake CCTV reporters have been seen at exhibition activities at the Convention and Exhibition Centre and the AsiaWorld-Expo at the airport. According to reports, CCTV's "Old Story Channel" issued a statement yesterday, stating that someone has recently impersonated the channel's name to conduct illegal publicity and investment promotion activities in Hong Kong. The statement emphasized that the channel has never carried out project operations and publicity in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, or overseas. The relevant impersonators are suspected of infringing on the exclusive right of trademark registration and are also suspected of criminal offenses.
