The Singapore Police Force (SPF) observes a trend of fake investment websites impersonating reputable brands like CapitaLand. Scammers create these fraudulent sites to trick individuals into bogus investment schemes.
Here's how to Check for these scams:
- Be wary of unsolicited investment opportunities, especially those promising high returns with little to no risk.
- Always verify website addresses carefully. Scammers often use slightly altered URLs or unofficial links to impersonate legitimate company websites. Look for official company logos and consistent branding.
If you suspect you have fallen victim to such a scam:
- Immediately cease all contact with the scammers.
- Tell your bank to report any unauthorised transactions or if you have provided your banking details.
- Tell the authorities by lodging a police report.
