goldwind.app

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) wishes to alert the public to a recurring investment scam involving a fraudulent entity named 'Imperialist Investment'. Scammers are enticing victims with promises of high returns through fake investment schemes.

Here's how to recognise this scam:

• You may receive unsolicited messages, calls, or encounter online advertisements promoting investment opportunities with 'Imperialist Investment', often promising unusually high or guaranteed profits with little to no risk.
• Scammers might pressure you to sign up on dubious websites (e.g., goldwind.app) or download unverified applications to make these 'investments'.

If you suspect you have fallen victim to an 'Imperialist Investment' scam:

• Immediately cease all communication with the scammers.
• Do not transfer any more money or provide further personal details.
• Report the incident to your bank and the police.

I can ACT against scams!

• Adding security features: Enhance the security of your online accounts with strong, unique passwords and enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all your banking and investment platforms.
• Checking for scam signs: Always verify investment opportunities, especially those promising high returns with little risk. Cross-check the entity with official sources, such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Investor Alert List at www.mas.gov.sg/IAL.
• Telling authorities, family and friends: Share information about investment scams with your loved ones to protect them. If you encounter suspicious 'Imperialist Investment' offers, report them to the police.
