The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has observed a trend of job scams using unofficial websites to impersonate well-known brands, including TikTok. These scams often entice victims with promises of easy money through part-time tasks, only to defraud them of their savings.

How to recognise this scam:

• Scammers offer fake job opportunities, often promising high returns for simple online tasks (e.g., liking videos, completing surveys), while impersonating popular brands like TikTok.
• These scam sites typically use unofficial or suspicious website addresses that do not belong to the legitimate company. Always Check if the URL is authentic.

What to do if you encounter such a scam or have been affected:

• Do not provide your personal information or make any payments if requested. Remember to Add security features like two-factor authentication to your online accounts to protect your data.
• If you encounter a job offer that seems too good to be true, always Check by verifying its authenticity with the official company's legitimate channels. Do not rely on links provided by the sender.
• If you have already provided personal details or made payments, immediately contact your bank to freeze your accounts and report any fraudulent transactions.
• Tell the authorities by lodging a police report and inform your family and friends about the scam to protect them.
