Advisory: Beware of Phishing Scams Impersonating Land Transport Authority (LTA)

citepay.top

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has observed a trend of phishing scams using fake websites to impersonate the Land Transport Authority (LTA). These scams involve fraudulent websites with unofficial URLs, such as citepay.top, designed to trick you into revealing personal or financial information.

How to Recognise This Scam:

  • You receive messages (SMS, email, or chat apps) asking you to click on links related to LTA matters (e.g., fines, vehicle updates) from unusual URLs like citepay.top. LTA's official website is www.lta.gov.sg.
  • The website you are directed to, despite appearing official, has a suspicious URL and prompts you to provide personal details or make payments outside of LTA's official platforms.

What to Do if Affected:

  • Do not click on suspicious links. Always verify the authenticity of messages and websites by going directly to LTA's official website (www.lta.gov.sg) or through official government channels.
  • If you have clicked and provided details, immediately contact your bank to report any unauthorised transactions and change your online banking and other relevant passwords. Report the incident to the police.

We remind the public to ACT against scams:

  • Add security features like two-factor authentication (2FA) to your online accounts and enable transaction limits.
  • Check for scam signs. Always verify the authenticity of messages and websites with official sources like LTA's official website (www.lta.gov.sg) or the official ScamShield app. Remember, official LTA transactions should only be done on their verified platforms.
  • Tell authorities, family, and friends about scams to protect yourself and your loved ones.
