Fake Chinese officials scam on the rise; victims cheated of S$4.8m in 4 months: Police

 

 

 

The police are advising members of the public to take precautions when they receive unsolicited calls, especially from unknown parties:

 

 

  1. Don't panic - Ignore the calls and caller's instructions. No government agency will request for personal details or transfer of money over the phone or through automated voice machines. Call a trusted friend or talk to a relative before you act as you may be overwhelmed by emotion and err in your judgement.
  2. Don't believe - Scammers may use caller ID spoofing technology to mask the actual phone number and display a different number. Calls that appear to be from a local number may not actually be from Singapore. If you receive a suspicious call from a local number, hang up, wait a while, then call the number back to check the validity of the request.
  3. Don't give - Do not provide your name, identification number, passport details contact details, bank account or credit card details. Such information is useful to criminals.
