SINGAPORE – IT equipment and accessories businesses have been targeted recently by scammers impersonating polytechnic staff, who trick the firms into placing orders and making advance payments to fake suppliers, the police said on Thursday.
The scammers also send forged screenshots indicating that the initial deposits for these orders have been transferred to the victim’s bank account. “When dealing with new suppliers, avoid making payments or deposits in advance. Arrange to meet the supplier and pay only upon delivery of the goods,” the police advised.
