The Singapore Police Force has issued new and enhanced Codes of Practice (COPs) under the Online Criminal Harms Act (OCHA) to strengthen protection against scams on online messaging, online conferencing, social media and e-commerce services. Platforms offering Designated Online Services (DOSs) are obliged to put safeguards in place to meet COP requirements.

The safeguards broadly cover:
✅ Stronger safeguards against Government Official Impersonation Scams (GOIS)
✅ Better protection against scam advertisements
✅ Enhanced account security measures
✅ More protection from being contacted by unknown parties

Scammers continue to evolve their tactics, and a significant number of cases still involve scam actors approaching victims through Designated Online Services as first approach platforms. While online services are expected to do more to protect users, members of the public should continue to remain vigilant when interacting online.
