The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams impersonating Channel NewsAsia (CNA). These scams typically lure victims with fraudulent investment opportunities, often promising high returns.
How to recognise these scams:
- Scammers create fake websites that look like CNA, promoting highly lucrative investment schemes.
- The website addresses are often suspicious (e.g.,
aspencup.one instead of cna.asia) and do not belong to CNA.
If you have fallen victim to such a scam:
- Report the incident to your bank immediately to freeze any suspicious transactions.
- Change your online banking credentials and any other compromised passwords.
- Report the scam to the police.
Remember,
- Add security features like Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and enable transaction limits.
- Check for scam signs and verify information with official sources. CNA's official website is
cna.asia.
- Tell authorities, family, and friends about scams.
