From our monthly Police Corner guest blogger, Lamma Police Chief
Camas Tung:
"Further to my previous article on online auction fraud, I would like to
talk about email scam this time. Nowadays, email is a common form of
communication channel for liaising with relatives and friends as well as
commercial partners.
Many folks on Lamma are expatriates and you may use email as a primary
channel for overseas communications. There is a trend for criminal gangs to
hack email accounts and try all sorts of ways to cheat victims to make
remittances.
The most common scenario is the fraudster pretending to be your overseas
relatives or friends who need immediate money remittance from you for some
kind of emergency reason. After hacking into your friend or relative's
personal email account, fraudsters send out deceptive emails to all persons,
including you, on the contact list of the account. The email purported that
the sender had encountered an accident overseas and requested you to
transfer money to accounts designated by the fraudsters as a matter of
urgency."

This is the "impressive" sight greeting visitors and residents at the YSW
Ferry Pier these days. It's like a showcase of some of the most massive
crane ships in HK over the last few months, some almost as long as the ferry
pier, all for building a little 300+ bikes platform...

SCMP story today, featuring our frequent Lamma Artist of the Week,
Tanya!
It talks about the many best and worst aspects of running on Lamma, from
sunrise runs to spider face plants!
 
Many Lammaites love their dogs and love their gadgets, so why not combine
these two passions?
See
Banny the GPS Montainbiker's latest GPS Dog Walking above.
The app even measured how many calories he used. Only 98 kCalories used on a
2 km dog walk! But no info on how many calories the dog used. Should Banny
be running or biking while exercising his dog?
A GPS on a dog collar might reveal some really interesting, meandering,
erratic trails! Some people already put GoPro videocams on dog collars,
for example on Power Station Beach.
Have a look when you have more than a few minutes left before boarding a
Lamma ferry in Central! It's free and pretty interesting, high fashion over
the decades, opening today with a glitzy, high-society, invitation-only
Pradasphere party on the rooftop of Central Ferry Pier 4.

It's such a major contrast, almost a direct opposite to what living on Lamma
is all about for so many residents, what we have often turned our backs on gladly when moving here from all over the world:
Luxury, status, wealth, high society, social ambitions, high aspirations, personal
image, brand awareness,...
This exhibition is a nice reminder of what most Lammaites do
NOT miss.

New Lamma Spotlights of the Week (see right column of home
page):
"Showing off my new camera..., The Lamma
Islanders video, Dayan Petit Resort website, Wild Boar Family,
Face Painting #1", featuring the talents of:
Sean Creamer, The Expats,
Wachifield, Howard Sheard and Abigail Wong!
Get a free drink from me if you figure
out the meaning of these 3 symbols!
Posters with these mysterious symbols have been popping up all over N.
Lamma:
If you're not affiliated with the two bands and guess the meaning of all 3
symbols correctly on Sat night, the first 3 people will get a free drink,
courtesy of the Lamma-zine!
Part of the challenge will be finding me behind my camera before or during
the concert, as there are still a few people left who don't know me, it
seems?!
Check out my cartoon avatar or ask your friends!
P.S. Who are "By Halves"? It's a question that The Sleeves are
getting asked too often these days. They are formerly
Helium!
"No musical slouches despite their name, By Halves, (formerly Helium)
serve up an eclectic blend of crunchy electro-acoustic guitar riffs, soulful
funky keys and original songwriting flair, creating a groovy, uplifting
sound.
You won't be able to sit still."
