Advisory: Beware of Investment Scams Impersonating CNA

The Singapore Police Force has observed a recent surge in investment scams impersonating CNA. Scammers are using fake websites and advertisements bearing the CNA brand to trick victims into believing they are legitimate investment platforms. These fraudulent schemes often promise high returns with little to no risk, luring individuals into depositing money.

The Singapore Police Force has observed a recent trend of phishing websites impersonating Singpass. These fraudulent sites aim to trick you into revealing your Singpass login credentials.

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of phishing scams impersonating the investment platform MooMoo. Scammers are creating fake websites to trick individuals into revealing their login credentials and personal information.

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams that impersonate established brands, including PETROBRAS. These scams create fake investment opportunities, often promising high returns to trick individuals into parting with their money.

Here's how to recognise such scams:

  • Unusual Web Addresses: Scammers create fake websites (e.g., peshiyou.top) or social media pages that mimic official brand platforms. Always check the web address carefully; official company websites usually have professional and recognizable domain names.

Beware of Fake 'ADGM MONEY' Investment Scams

The Singapore Police Force has observed a recent trend of investment scams using fake websites and impersonating financial entities, often using names similar to 'ADGM MONEY'. These fraudulent schemes promise quick and high returns on investments. We urge the public to be vigilant.

Here's how to recognise these scams:

  • Unrealistic Promises: Scammers lure victims with promises of exceptionally high or guaranteed returns on investments, often claiming little to no risk. If an offer seems too good to be true, it likely is.
  • Suspicious Websites: They direct victims to dubious websites (e.g., make-moneyeasily.net, gold-vip.icu) that appear professional but are fake. Always check the URL for unusual characters, misspellings, or unverified security certificates.

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

  1. Stop all communication and transactions immediately. Do not transfer any more money.
  2. Report the incident to the police via the SPF hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit an online report at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.
  3. Inform your bank immediately to halt any further transactions and seek advice.

  • Unusual website addresses: Always check the URL. Official SPX websites will use their legitimate domain (e.g., spx.sg) and not generic or unfamiliar web addresses like llkw.top.
  • Unsolicited messages: Be cautious of unexpected SMS messages or emails claiming to be from SPX, especially if they ask you to click on links, provide personal details, or make payments for delivery fees or parcel tracking.

What to do if you encounter or are affected by such a scam:

  • Do not click on suspicious links. If you have, immediately change passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised (e.g., email, banking apps).
  • Monitor your bank accounts for unauthorised transactions. If you made any payment or noticed suspicious activity, contact your bank immediately to report the incident.
  • Report the scam to the Police via the online form at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness or call 999.

Alert: Phishing Scams Impersonating Ninjavan

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of phishing scams impersonating Ninjavan. Scammers use fake websites and messages to trick individuals into revealing personal or financial information, often by claiming there are issues with parcel delivery or requiring payment for redelivery. An example of a detected scam site is ykrv.club.

  • Unexpected Requests for Information or Payment: Be wary of messages asking for personal details, banking information, or payment for parcel redelivery, especially if you were not expecting a parcel or if the request comes unexpectedly.

If you believe you have been affected:

  • Report the incident to the police immediately.

You can ACT against scams:

Advisory: Watch Out for Investment Scams on Suspicious Websites and Unrelated Brands

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams operating through suspicious websites. These fraudulent sites often lure victims with promises of high returns and may even misuse the names of well-known, unrelated brands to appear legitimate. For example, some scams have recently misused the name of GOM Player, a media player, in their investment schemes. Scammers use obscure website addresses such as lumexafa.top and dnsyidzq.top to host these fraudulent platforms.

How to recognise these scams:

  • Be cautious of investment opportunities that promise exceptionally high returns with little to no risk, especially if promoted through unsolicited messages or unfamiliar websites.
  • Scammers often use suspicious website addresses that do not match official company domains or try to gain trust by associating themselves with unrelated brands for investment schemes.

If you suspect you've been affected, remember to ACT:

  • Add security features: Immediately contact your bank to report any unauthorised transactions and secure your bank accounts. Change your passwords for all online accounts, especially those sharing similar credentials, and enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) wherever possible.
  • Check for scam signs: Verify any suspicious transactions with your bank and monitor your accounts for further unusual activity.
  • Tell authorities, family and friends: Report the incident to the Police immediately. Inform your family and friends about these scams to protect them.

Advisory: Beware of Fake Litecoin Investment Websites

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams involving fake websites impersonating cryptocurrency platforms, specifically using the "Litecoin" brand. These scams often trick individuals into believing they are investing in legitimate cryptocurrency, only to lose their money.

  • Scammers create deceptive websites that closely mimic legitimate cryptocurrency investment platforms or services, often featuring well-known brand names like Litecoin. Always check the URL carefully for any discrepancies and verify the legitimacy of the platform through official sources.

Advisory: Beware of Fake 'Immediate Edge' Investment Scams

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of investment scams impersonating legitimate-sounding platforms, such as "Immediate Edge". Scammers create fake websites and advertisements to trick the public into believing they are investing in high-return schemes.

How to recognise these scams:

  • Be cautious of investment opportunities that promise extremely high returns with minimal risk, often advertised through unsolicited messages, social media posts, or unfamiliar websites.
  • Always inspect the website address carefully. Scammers use unusual or misspelled domain names (e.g., dylesaesivi.autos) to mimic official platforms. Legitimate financial institutions use well-known and verifiable domain names.

If you encounter such suspicious "Immediate Edge" investment offers or suspect you have been affected, you can ACT:

  • Check for scam signs: Verify any investment opportunity directly with the official company or a financial advisor. Do not rely on links or contact details provided in suspicious messages or websites.
  • Tell authorities: If you have provided personal details or made payments, inform your bank immediately to stop any transactions. Report the scam to the police at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness or call 999.
  • Add security features: Enhance your online security by enabling two-factor authentication for your investment accounts and online banking. Regularly review your transaction history for any suspicious activities.

Advisory: Beware of Fake Investment Scams Impersonating BHP

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of fake investment scams impersonating reputable brands like BHP, often promoted through suspicious websites such as 2025gold.net. These scams aim to trick you into believing you are investing in a legitimate opportunity.

How to Recognise These Scams:

  • Check the Website Address: Always verify that investment opportunities are promoted on the official websites of the companies they claim to represent. Scammers often use slightly altered or unusual domain names (e.g., 2025gold.net instead of official BHP sites).
  • Unrealistic Promises: Be wary of investment offers that promise unusually high returns with little to no risk, or pressure you to invest quickly. Legitimate investments usually carry some level of risk and realistic returns.

What to Do If You Encounter or Are Affected by Such a Scam:

  • Stop All Communication: Immediately cease all contact with the scammer and do not provide any personal or financial information.
  • Verify and Report: Always Check for scam signs and verify investment opportunities directly with the official company (e.g., through BHP's official website) or a trusted financial institution.

How to recognise this scam:

  • Be suspicious of unsolicited messages (SMS, email) claiming to be from IRAS that ask you to click on a link to update personal information, claim a refund, or resolve an outstanding payment. IRAS will typically not request sensitive information or direct you to non-official links via unsolicited messages.

If you have provided your personal or banking details on a suspicious website:

  1. Contact your bank immediately to secure your accounts and monitor for any unauthorised transactions.
  2. Change passwords for any other online accounts that use the same credentials.
  3. Report the incident to the police.

Remember,

  • Add security features: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and set transaction limits.
  • Check for scam signs: Always verify website URLs and the authenticity of messages with official sources.
  • Tell authorities: Report any suspicious websites or messages to the police.

Advisory: Be Alert to Phishing Scams Impersonating Apple iCloud

The Singapore Police Force observes phishing attempts impersonating Apple iCloud services. These scams aim to trick you into revealing your Apple ID and password.

Here's how to recognise such scams:

  • Look out for messages (SMS, email) or websites that ask for your Apple ID or iCloud password but come from unusual or unfamiliar website addresses. For example, a scam site might use a domain like "icloud.qpon" instead of official Apple websites.
  • Be cautious of urgent requests or threats stating your Apple account is locked, suspended, or requires immediate verification, especially if they direct you to click on a link.

What to do if you encounter such scams:

  • Adding security features: Always enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your Apple ID to protect your account, even if your password is stolen.
  • Checking for scam signs: Verify the authenticity of any request by visiting Apple's official website directly (e.g., apple.com) or checking through the official Settings app on your Apple device, instead of clicking on links in suspicious messages.
  • Telling authorities, family and friends: If you have clicked on a suspicious link and entered your details, immediately change your Apple ID password. Report the incident to Apple and inform your family and friends about the scam.

Advisory: Beware of Fake Singapore Police Force (SPF) Websites Impersonating Official Channels

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has observed a recent trend of impersonation scams involving fake websites designed to look like official SPF platforms.

Advisory: Protect Yourself from Impersonation Investment Scams

The Singapore Police Force warns the public about a rise in investment scams where fraudsters create fake websites and platforms to impersonate legitimate companies. These scams aim to trick individuals into investing in non-existent schemes. For instance, we have observed fake investment sites like currency-oil.com attempting to impersonate Saudi Aramco, offering what appear to be attractive investment opportunities.

Here's how to recognise such scams:

  • Scammers design convincing but fake websites and platforms that mimic reputable companies. Always check the website's URL carefully; official company websites will have legitimate domain names, not suspicious ones like currency-oil.com.

  1. Stop all communication with the scammers immediately. Do not make any further payments or provide more personal details.
  2. Report the incident to the police.
