On the suggestion of our local police station, Arrow Factory will be screening videos advocating public safety for the entire month of May. Entitled “骗术揭密”, the videos feature convicted offenders recounting typical scams involving fake watches, fake ginseng, employee recruitment, phony telephone calls, and pregnant women—all designed to bring harm to unsuspecting members of the public. The videos make valuable use of re-enactment scenarios, and as each step of the hoax is revealed, viewers are trained to pick up the necessary skills for detecting these scams in the future.

Videos on loan from Community Police Officer Mr. Su Hongtao, Andingmen Substation, Dongcheng District, Beijing.
