The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of impersonation scams leveraging on the "CDC Vouchers" scheme.

How to recognise this scam:

• Scammers send messages or direct victims to fake websites related to "CDC Vouchers", prompting them to click on suspicious links to claim vouchers or provide personal/banking details.
• Official communications regarding CDC Vouchers will not ask for sensitive personal or banking information via unverified links.

What to do if you were affected:

If you have clicked on a suspicious link or provided your personal/banking details:

• Immediately contact your bank to secure your accounts and monitor for unauthorised transactions.
• Change passwords for any online accounts that might have been compromised.
• Report the incident to the Police.

Remember, you can ACT against scams:

• Add security features like Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your online accounts.
• Check for scam signs and verify information with official sources (e.g., the official CDC Vouchers website or relevant government portals).
• Tell authorities, family, and friends about scams to protect others.
