The Singapore Police Force observes a recent trend of job scams, with several reports involving websites impersonating 'Youlemei Mall'. Scammers use these deceptive sites to trick individuals into fraudulent job opportunities.
Here's how to recognise these scams:
- You receive unsolicited job offers, often via messaging apps or social media, promising high commissions or easy money for simple tasks, such as 'boosting' sales or performing online reviews for 'Youlemei Mall'.
- These scam sites or messages may ask for your personal particulars, bank details, or require you to make upfront payments or 'investments' to secure the job or 'release' your earnings.
If you encounter such a scam or have been affected:
- Do not proceed with any payments or provide your personal banking information.
- Block the sender immediately and report the incident to the Police.
- Inform your bank immediately if you have provided any banking details or made any transfers.
