*Monthly Scams Bulletin #6* *(6 June 2025)* In a recent spate of phishing scams, victims would encounter the scam by clicking on links embedded in: 📧💬 *Fake Emails/Text Messages* 💻 *Fake Websites* 👀 *Fake Advertisements* These links will redirect victims to phishing websites that prompt them to key in their personal and banking details, including their One-Time Passwords (OTP). Victims would only realise that they had been scammed when they discovered unauthorised transactions in their bank statements. *Look out for the signs of phishing!* 📧💬 *Emails/Text Messages*: ✅️ Legitimate organisations use official SMS Sender IDs. *SMSes from government agencies will carry the 'gov.sg' sender ID.* 💻 *Websites*: ✅️ Always check the *email address* closely and do not depend on the email sender ID that could be spoofed. 👀 *Advertisements*: ✅️ Always check directly with the company, offering the promotion on its legitimacy. *REMEMBER: Your bank log-in details are private, especially your OTP!* If you are unsure if something is a scam, call and check with the *24/7 ScamShield Helpline at 1799*. ☎️ 📰 Read the bulletin to find out more about such phishing scams and preventive measures we can take to protect ourselves. Together, we can ACT against scams! 💪
