Common Scams to Watch Out For
Fraudsters often pretend to be people you trust.
Here are the most common tactics in Singapore:
Impersonation Scams

Impersonation Scams

Callers posing as government officials, bank staff, or insurance officers. They pressure victims to hand over money, pre-signed cheques, or even buy gold and pass it to a “runner.”

Job / Rebate Scams

Job / Rebate Scams

Fake “part-time jobs” or “shopping/review tasks” that ask you to send money first to “unlock commissions.”

Love Scams

Love Scams

Scammers pose as romantic partners online to gain trust, then invent emergencies or promise gifts to trick victims into sending money or sharing bank details.

Parcel / Gift Scams

Parcel / Gift Scams

Messages claiming you have a parcel or gift waiting, but you must pay “delivery” or “customs” fees. Links often lead to fake courier sites asking for card or OTP details.

These scams have been widely reported in Singapore and continue to target migrant workers, expatriates, and Singaporeans.
