Scam Alert!!

Be alert to fake investment groups on Telegram or Whatsapp messaging platform. Scammers may impersonate trusted platforms such as “StashAway,” promising unrealistically high returns like turning $1,000 into $20,000 within hours. These are traps designed to steal your money. They often demand huge “admin fees” or “taxes” before allowing withdrawals, which you’ll never get back. Always verify with official sources and never send money to strangers online. If it sounds too good to be true, it’s a scam. Stay smart, stay safe.

Scam Alert!!

If you receive a message claiming that your WhatsApp account has not been verified for a long time and asking you to log in or complete verification, ignore it immediately, it’s a phishing scam. The URL in the message is usually a redirect to a fake website designed to steal your account details, and scammers often spoof the name “WhatsApp” to make it look legitimate. Always check the URL carefully and only trust links that end with whatsapp.com. Never click on links claiming your account needs verification, reactivation, or security updates, and block and report any suspicious messages. For extra protection, enable two-step verification in WhatsApp, and remember that WhatsApp will never ask you to verify your account through a link sent via SMS or chat.

Scam Alert!

If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. Luxury watches sold at suspiciously low prices, unclear seller details, or missing authenticity documents are all telltale signs of a fake.

Scam Alert!

If you are a victim of a scam and wish to recover your funds, do not engage any “recovery services” online. Most of these services are fake and may lead to even greater financial losses.

Scam recovery offers found on social media, messaging apps, or unsolicited messages are almost always scams themselves.
Instead, report the incident to your bank, law enforcement, and relevant authorities.

Job Seekers, Beware! If you encounter a “MyCareersFuture” page asking for your full name and contact number to log in, think twice before entering your details. This is a Telegram phishing scam designed to take over your Telegram account, and use it to send phishing messages or conduct illegal activities. Always stay alert, verify official websites, and protect your accounts to stay safe online.

Scam Alert!

Look out for phishing email being sent out, falsely claiming that you have SimplyGo points expiring soon, which can supposedly be converted into eVouchers or cash via a link. This is not true.

🚨Scam Alert! 🚨

We have recently been alerted to a phishing email being sent out, falsely claiming that you have 5,000 SimplyGo points expiring soon, which can supposedly be converted into eVouchers or cash via a link. It contains a suspicious link that is not associated with any official SimplyGo or EZ-Link platform.

This ad is completely FALSE and was NOT shared by SimplyGo or EZ-Link. The link provided does not lead to a legitimate government or official domain.
⚠️ Please do not click on any links or provide personal information. SimplyGo and EZ-Link never send emails requesting personal data or point redemptions through unsecured links.
🔴 Only trust emails and promotions sent from .com.sg. Any messages from other email addresses are not official and may be part of a scam.
Spot scams immediately and stay alert:
❌ Obvious Typos – “5000 point will expire on the 26th September 2025 .” 🚫 Written inaccurately!
❌ Outdated Branding – The logo used in the email is no longer part of the current brand!
❌ Unofficial Email Address – The sender’s email address is not affiliated with EZ-Link or SimplyGo!
❌ Too Good To Be True – Claims you have 5,000 points to convert to eVouchers or cash instantly. Stay alert! 🔍

If you spot any suspicious ads, please report them immediately by calling the Singapore ScamShield hotline at 1799.
