🚨 Beware of Impersonation Scams! 🚨
Scammers are impersonating government officials (e.g., Police Officers) and bank staff and alleging that victims are involved in criminal activities! Victims will be pressured into transferring money to a 'safety account' or share personal, banking, Singpass or CPF-related information to assist in investigation! 😡
Remember! Government officials will NEVER do these things over a call:
❌ Ask you to transfer money;
❌ Ask you to disclose personal or banking details;
❌ Ask you to install mobile apps from unofficial app stores;
❌ Transfer your call directly to Police, except when you call 995 for life-threatening emergencies.
Scammers may cite your personal information (e.g. name or NRIC number) to appear legitimate. Do not automatically trust someone just because he/she has your personal information. 🙅♂️
If unsure, call and check with the 24/7 ScamShield Helpline at 1799. ☎
