Advisory: Beware of Job Scams Impersonating 'Genwrk Store'

genwrk.com

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of job scams impersonating 'Genwrk Store'. Scammers are using websites like genwrk.com to trick individuals seeking employment. These scams often promise attractive returns for simple tasks, such as boosting online sales or performing other remote work.

Here’s how to recognise this scam:

• You receive unsolicited job offers, often via messaging apps or social media, promising high commissions for minimal effort or simple online tasks.
• The job offers direct you to unfamiliar websites like genwrk.com or ask you to download suspicious applications.

If you encounter such a job offer or suspect you may have fallen victim to this scam:

• Add security features: Strengthen your digital defences. Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts and use strong, unique passwords.
• Check for scam signs: Always verify job offers by contacting the company directly through official channels (not through links provided in the offer). Be wary of requests for upfront payments or requests for personal details.
• Tell authorities, family and friends: Report the incident to the police immediately. If you have provided any personal banking details or made payments, contact your bank to secure your accounts. Inform your loved ones about this scam to prevent them from falling victim.
