Four women have been arrested in Hong Kong for allegedly illegally selling makeup, photography, and tour-guide services through social media, according to the Immigration Department. The arrests were part of an undercover crackdown on illegal cross-boundary employment ahead of National Day Golden Week. The suspects, all women aged between 20 and 31, operated personal social media accounts offering one-stop package deals at popular tourist attractions, such as theme parks, Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, and West Kowloon Cultural District.
They charged between HK$400 and HK$600 for their services, which included itinerary planning, makeup and hairdressing, photography equipment rental, and styling guidance. Li Kwing-chiu, commander of the task force, stated that the suspects posed as customers, made inquiries with the suspects, and booked the relevant services when they came to Hong Kong to provide them.
The four women will be charged with breaching their conditions of stay. During the operation, officers seized their photography equipment, props, makeup supplies, and smartphones.
