SINGAPORE: The police issued a warning to the public about scams involving the impersonation of officers from government agencies on Thursday , with at least 148 victims losing at least S$182,000 to such scammers since January.
The scammer would allegedly claim to be from the Ministry of Manpower or the police, before stating that there were issues with the victim’s bank accounts and that additional verification was required. The scammer might also request that victims show their identity cards, work permits or bank cards during the in-app video call.
"The police would like to emphasise that we do not ask members of the public to provide their bank accounts’ information and passwords, or to transfer money to any bank account," said SPF.
