Housing Bureau warns residents of scam

The Housing Bureau said they’ve received reports from residents saying some individuals pretending to be working at the Bureau are soliciting bribes to hasten the residents’ application to purchase an affordable housing unit. The Bureau said they have processed all applications in accordance with the law and warn residents against such scams. Regarding the scam, the Bureau said that even though they haven’t been provided with evidence or more details, it still pays close attention to the case and condemns such behaviour. In its statement published yesterday, the Bureau appeals to anyone with information to report it to police.
