We have observed a rise in investment scams using websites like usmartsg.sg, airobotbep.top and 95supreme.shop. These sites may be used to deceive you into making fake investments.
Here's how to recognise these scams:
- Promises of High Returns with Low Risk: Be wary of investment opportunities that guarantee high profits with little to no risk. Remember, all investments carry some level of risk.
- Unsolicited Contact: Be cautious of investment offers you receive unexpectedly through social media, messaging apps, or phone calls.
What to do if you are affected:
- Stop all transactions: Cease any further investments or transfers of funds to the platform or individuals involved.
- Report to the Police: File a police report immediately. This will help the authorities investigate and potentially recover your funds.
- Inform your bank: Contact your bank to report the scam and ask for assistance in freezing your account or recovering any lost funds.
I can ACT against scams:
- Add: Add security features such as ScamShield and enable two-factor authentication.
- Check: Check for scam signs and verify information with official sources.
- Tell: Tell the authorities, family, and friends about scams.
