HONG Kong Disneyland Resort has warned people in South-east Asia to beware of scams offering cash rewards from the resort. In a statement issued yesterday, the resort drew attention to telephone calls and letters claiming to offer prizes, such as cash awards, from lucky draws or charitable, promotional and celebratory events allegedly organised by the resort.
A spokesman said: "The resort states that it has not authorised any parties, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, to approach the public in this manner."The announcement comes in the wake of a number of alleged telephone scams in Singapore. People identifying themselves as staff of the resort told individuals in Singapore, via phone calls or letters, that they have won prizes. In such cases, money is demanded in exchange for the prizes.
