We have observed a rise in scams involving fake websites impersonating the GST Vouchers scheme. These websites often attempt to trick you into providing your personal or financial information.
Here's how to recognise these scams:
- Unexpected Requests: Be wary of websites or messages that ask for your personal credentials, such as your full name, phone number and OTP.
- Unfamiliar Website Addresses: Always check the website address. Official government websites usually end with ".gov.sg". The scam site observed was 'claim-gst-voucher-vn.up.railway.app'.
If you think you have been affected by this scam:
- Report: File a police report immediately.
- Change your passwords: If you have provided any personal information and passwords, change your password to avoid further compromise.
Remember to ACT against scams:
- Add security features, such as enabling two-factor authentication.
- Check for scam signs and verify information with official sources like the official CDC Vouchers website or the GST Voucher official website.
- Tell the authorities, your family, and friends about scams.
