Be aware of scammers impersonating telco representatives and government officers. Victims are falsely told that their telco account was used to sign up for new lines or devices, before being transferred to individuals posing as “government officials”.
If you receive such a call, hang up and verify by calling your telco's hotline directly. Do not transfer any funds or share personal information with anyone.
Report any suspicious activities to the police immediately. For scam-related advice, call the anti-scam helpline at 1799 or go to www.scamshield.gov.sg.
