The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has observed a rise in job scams, with scammers leveraging social media platforms and fake websites to deceive individuals. These scams often promise attractive work-from-home or part-time opportunities with minimal effort and high returns.

How to recognise these scams:

• You receive unsolicited messages on social media (e.g., Facebook) or messaging apps, promising easy jobs with high returns, often directing you to suspicious websites with unusual names (such as diwkr.com or motorai.net).
• The job offer asks you to click on unknown links, download unverified applications, or involves tasks that seem too good to be true, sometimes impersonating well-known brands like Facebook or emerging tech companies like Motor AI.

What to do if you are affected:

If you suspect you have fallen victim to a job scam:

1. Stop all communication with the scammer immediately.
2. If you have provided banking details or transferred money, contact your bank at once to report the fraudulent transactions.
3. Report the scam to the platform where it occurred (e.g., Facebook) and inform the Police.

Remember to ACT against scams:

• Add security features: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all your online accounts.
• Check for scam signs: Always verify job offers through official company websites or trusted sources. Be wary of unsolicited messages and unusual links.
• Tell authorities, family, and friends: Share information about scams to protect others in your community.
