Source 1
The Police recorded 10,602 technology crimes in the first 10 months of 2020 (5,407 cases
were recorded in the same period last year), with a total loss of HK$2.49 billion. It is believed
that criminals had the opportunity to commit criminal activities due to the increase in the number
of people working or attending classes at home and opportunities to use online platforms.
The Police points out that online romance scam increased by 53% from the same period
last year to 488 cases. The loss involved in online romance scam exceeded HK$177 million,
showing an increase of HK$10 million over the same period last year. The age of victims varied
from 15 to 85. 85% of them were women. 561 victims were between 20 and 49 years old,
accounting for 75% of the total victims.
The Police also stated that a similar approach was adopted in cases involving the youngest
and oldest victims. Both of them encountered scammers on the Internet. In both cases, the
scammers claimed to live in the United Kingdom and worked as an engineer and project
manager respectively. They all used gifts as an excuse to ask victims to pay postage. After the
victims made the payment without fraud, the scammers requested the remittance again for
various reasons. The victims eventually discovered that they had been deceived and called the
Police for help. According to the Police, in addition to using customs clearance fees and
financial difficulties to defraud victims of money, some scammers have recently used the claim
of ‘high return investment’ to lure victims. These scammers claimed that they ‘know how to
crack lottery results on gambling websites’ to induce victims to download a fake mobile phone
investment application. At first, they let victims to earn meager profits to attract continuous
capital injection.

E. Extended-response Questions（10 marks）
1. Suggested answers:（Answer three of the following points）
Anonymous identity: The anonymity of the online world allows people to make up
personal information and identities to interact with others.
Multiple identities: Many people use online virtual identities to log in communication
tools, such as instant messaging, online forums and social networking websites, to
communicate with others through the Internet.
Cues-filtered-out: Cues-filtered-out is a feature of cyber-friendship. Neither party can
identify each other’s reactions and feelings through social clues, such as appearance,
expression, clothing, voice, tone, etc.
Exchange emotions via images: In addition to text, people can express their emotions via
images and symbols when communicating with others online.
Messages postponed: Text and images are the major media of online communication.
After the text and images are transmitted from one party to another, the receiver may think
about and modify his or her response to make it satisfactory before responding to the other
party.
2. Suggested answer. Free answer.
Positive impact: The Internet allows us to communicate and connect with people all over
the world. In addition to getting to know more friends with different cultural backgrounds
through the Internet, we can also enhance cultural exchanges and knowledge.
Negative impact: There are hidden risks in making friends online. For example, criminals
can hide their real identities on the Internet to commit online fraud and induce or force
people to engage in unethical transactions and illegal behaviors.
F. Data-based Questions（12 marks）

Citizenship, Economics and Society
Mock Exam Paper module 1.1
1. (a) Source 1 shows that the number of technology crimes is on the rise. According to Source 1,
the Police recorded 10,602 technology crimes in the first 10 months of 2020. It indicates an
increase of 5,195 cases compared to 2019, which is twice the number of 2019. From these
figures, it shows that the number of technology crimes is on the rise, thereby attracting
people’s attention.
(b) Source 1 shows that scammers take advantage of the anonymous identity of cyber-
friendship to commit fraud. According to Source 1, scammers learn about victims through
dating software and use virtual identities to communicate with them. They use gifts and
investments as reasons to deceive victims of money.
(c) Elementary question:
（Free answer. Suggested answer.）
Choose friends carefully: When we encounter people who use malicious language to
lure or threaten you, we must refuse to keep in touch with them without hesitation. If
they do not give up, we must immediately seek help from teachers.
Do not disclose personal information casually: We must beware of any harm. It is
difficult for us to fully learn about the background of cyber-friends, so we should not
tell unfamiliar cyber-friends our phone number, address and other personal data to
prevent them from harassing or threatening us.
Stay alert: The Internet allows people to use virtual identities to make friends, so we
should not completely trust cyber-friends. If they ask us to borrow money or obtain
personal information, we should not casually agree but should seek help from adults
around us.
Advanced question:
Agree:
I agree with the statement that ‘making friends online can only cause harm’. Since the
online world allows people to use virtual identities or even more than one identity to
communicate with others, we cannot completely understand their real identities and purpose
of making friends. If we mistakenly believe in unfamiliar cyber-friends, we may be
deceived like the victims mentioned in Source 1. It may cause monetary loss and even
emotional harm. Some people think that making friends on the Internet can hide their real
identities and express that it is easier for them to reveal their inner feelings and avoid the
constraints encountered in real interpersonal relationships. However, excessive indulge in
the satisfaction brought about by this kind of online social interaction will prevent people
from establishing normal interpersonal relationships in real life. They may have many

cyber-friends but there is no one around to communicate. Therefore, I agree with the
statement that ‘making friends online can only cause harm’.
Or
Disagree:
I do not agree with the statement that ‘making friends online can only cause harm’. Making
friends online allows us to hide our appearance and background, which makes it easier for
us to open up and talk to cyber-friends and obtain satisfaction from social interactions. At
the same time, people can rebuild their self-image on the Internet and release messages that
have a positive impact on themselves. This can help repair their self-image in the real world
and build self-confidence. The above reflects that making friends online is not harmless.
Making friends online can be dangerous. Nonetheless, if we stay alert, choose friends
carefully and do not casually disclose personal information, we can avoid fraud.
