Claw machine phenomenon / "E-commerce" phishing scams / Use of aerial photos to analyse slopes
Presenters：Jim Gould and John Bruce
On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about the claw machine phenomenon.
The Consumer Council has called for a review of regulations governing the devices amid an increasing number of complaints against operators.
It's been reported that some machines have been altered to make winning much harder, and users have been required to spend a minimum amount in order to claim prizes.
Claw machines aren't new to Hong Kong's game centres, but more such venues have emerged in recent years, often opening in vacated commercial premises and requiring few or no staff.
What makes this business so attractive? Are new regulations the solution?
After 9:30, we learn more about an increasing trend of online shopping scams.
And after 9:45, we hear about plans by government engineers to utilise new technologies to guard against landslides.
