Advisory: Beware of Fake Visa Application Websites

thaitouristvisa.com

The Singapore Police Force has observed fake websites impersonating legitimate visa application services, such as those for 'Thaitouristvisa' (e.g., thaitouristvisa.com). These scam websites are designed to trick individuals into providing personal information and making payments for non-existent or unofficial visa services.

To protect yourself and 'ACT' against such scams, remember to:

• Check the website address (URL) carefully. Legitimate government or official visa application services will have distinct and secure web addresses, often ending in specific country codes or official domains.
• Check the authenticity of any visa application website by verifying it through official government sources like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) or the respective country's embassy/high commission in Singapore, instead of clicking on links from unknown sources.

If you suspect you have provided your personal details or made any payments on a suspicious website:

• Immediately contact your bank to report any unauthorised transactions and stop further payments.
• Tell the Police by calling 999 or submitting a report online.
• Tell your family and friends about the scam to protect them.
