編註：
事源大聯盟收逾85萬網上聯署撐修例。
網民踢爆做假後，所有聯署網頁只從主頁刪去，唯政府幾位高官同制建派官員仍然口口聲聲提及有超過80萬人聯署支持修例。截至8 Jul，葉劉仲係記者會上講起，似乎並冇留意各大報章報道該數據做假。面皮相當厚呢。
另有一則更詳細報告，12 Jun by Gap 「撐送中聯署會網站洩出特別資料事件」。

“保公義撐修例大聯盟”稱截至前日（6月10日）已收集82.8萬聯署，甚至被中國外交部發言人援引，但該聯署涉嫌詐騙罪
證據
1. 增長速度線性，表現異常
有網友(1)以6月11日 12:50 至 13:00 為參考時間段，記錄該網頁顯示的聯署人數，發現人數以每分鐘8個簽名，穩定增長中
（見附件一）
亦有團體(2)以6月11日20:35至6月12 日07:30作參考時間段，記錄人數，發現清晨六點後、午夜十二點前，簽名數穏定以60個一小時速度增長
（見附件二）
2. 聯署總數一早設立，並在固定時間點增加聯署人數
跟據網友早前獲取該網的公開源碼中 (http://joint-sign.safeguardhongkong.hk/.git/config – 雖然本頁現在已刪除，但已經包含在各傳媒的信中。為保護代碼副本，有興趣者請tg (該處資料隱去)，該網顯示聯署人數的函數(function)，其實是以現時時間作輸入值，並在一個已經記錄簽署人數的數據庫裡依時間段抓取記錄。如果網頁顯示的聯署人數的確是真實的，那就根本沒必要以”現時時間”去濾走數據。通俗啲講，即係聯署總數一早已經作定咗，只係因為時間未到所以未show出嚟。
總結
總而言之，無論在實驗(empirical)和理論(theoretical)層面上，市民在該網站上的聯署並不會如實反映出來。如此欺詐行為，甚至涉嫌干犯《盜竊罪條例》第16A條中的詐騙罪或串謀詐騙罪，最高刑罰是判監十四年。
事態嚴重，就此我們已去信各大港媒外媒（蘋果日報記者，明報記者，香港01，free press hk, scmp，AP, BBS, Reuters, bloomberg, ABC, Al Jazzera, CNN and etc）告知此事。
你可以幫到d咩？
希望大家廣泛share出去，等更加多人知道發生咩事。（中文係樓頂，英文係一樓）

English version :
Dear Editors,
We are a group of Hong Kong citizens who are extremely concerned about Hong Kong’s future, particularly in relation to recent ‘Extradition Bill’ proposed by the Hong Kong Government. While we, so as majority of Hong Kong people, clearly do not see any imminent needs for the Government to rush such a controversial bill through legislation, it comes to our surprise that more than 800,000 people, as claimed by pro-Beijing societies in Hong Kong and cited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China (link 1), have signed up a ‘Safeguard HK’ petition which urges immediate pass of the bill. To this end, we conducted some basic research and found potential evidences which could corroborate the petition is of fraudulent nature.
All the materials we used in this investigation were obtained directly from the website of ‘Safeguard HK’ in public domain (i.e. not through hacking), therefore we hold the view that the evidences presented are of legitimate basis.
Key Finding: The number declared on Safeguard HK website (https://www.safeguardhongkong.hk) does not genuinely reflect the number of people signed for it.
(a) It is found that the ‘petition number’ stated on Safeguard HK website has been growing at a steady rate of 8 per minute, during the period of 12:50pm to 13:00pm on 11 Jun 2019, as revealed by a member of us:
[See Attachment 1]
(b) It is again found that the petition number grew at a steady rate of 60 per minute for the period of 10:35pm on 11 Jun 2019 to 12:00am on 12 Jun 2019, and 06:00am to 07:30am on 12 Jun 2019, as unveiled by a Facebook page:
[See Attachment 2]
Apparently, it is unreasonable for the petition number to grow at a completely steady and smooth manner.
In addition to empirical evidence, a member of us found, in the source code of the Safeguard HK website (note 1), the function displaying petition count on the website is a SQL query which filters a response from a database using the ‘current time’ parameter. It implies that the petition numbers had been pre-defined in a dedicated database (if not, there would be no need for the SQL query to filter against time – the only reason to filter against time is because they have future petition number in the database).
Taking all the empirical and theoretical evidences into account, we cast doubts on the legitimacy of Safeguard HK petition, and believe it might allegedly violates Fraud (or Conspiracy of Defraud) as defined in section 16A of Theft Ordinance Cap 210, which gives the relevant personnel a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment. Given the seriousness of fraud and vast public interest involved, we candidly invite your good company to conduct a thorough investigation on this matter, and make relevant reports to the public, as deemed appropriate.
A million thanks,
from a group of Hong Kong citizens
