Advisory: Beware of Phishing Job Scams Using Unofficial Websites

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of job scams luring individuals through unofficial websites, such as avenisportalglobe1.asia. Scammers exploit the desire for employment by offering seemingly attractive opportunities that often lead to financial loss.

How to recognise these job scams:

• You receive unsolicited messages (e.g., via messaging apps or social media) offering lucrative part-time or full-time jobs with minimal effort or high returns.
• Scammers direct you to suspicious websites or applications to "register," "apply," or "perform tasks" that often require an initial payment or personal details.

If you encounter or are affected by such a scam, here's how you can ACT:

• Add security features: Secure your devices with strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication for your accounts. Consider using ScamShield to block scam calls and filter scam SMSes.
• Check for scam signs: Always verify job offers with official company sources (e.g., their official website, not through links provided in unsolicited messages). Be wary of "too good to be true" offers. Do not click on suspicious links or download unknown applications.
• Tell authorities, family and friends: If you have shared personal details or made any payments, report it to the police immediately. Inform your bank if financial details were compromised. Spread awareness about these scams to your loved ones.
