Advisory: Investment Scams Using Fake Websites and Unofficial Links

goudann.top

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams that use fake websites and links. These scams often promise unusually high returns and may impersonate or claim affiliations with reputable technology platforms, even using unfamiliar domains like 'goudann.top' to lure victims.

How to recognise this scam:

• Be cautious of unsolicited messages, ads, or social media posts promoting investment opportunities, especially if they promise exceptionally high returns or claim a connection to well-known tech platforms like GitHub, but direct you to external, unofficial links.
• Always scrutinise the website's address. Legitimate platforms will use their official domain (e.g., github.com), not suspicious or unfamiliar URLs such as goudann.top.

What to do if you encounter or are affected by this scam:

• Do not click on suspicious links or download any files from unverified sources.
• If you have provided personal details, banking information, or invested money, immediately change your passwords for all online accounts (especially banking and email) and notify your bank.
• Report the incident to the police immediately.
