The police said they have received at least 14 reports of this scam since Sept 2.
SINGAPORE - At least $100,000 was lost in less than a week to an SMS phishing scam involving the impersonation of Singtel.
Victims received SMSes informing them of expiring Singtel points and were directed to a phishing website resembling the actual Singtel redemption page. There, they were asked to select gifts and input their credit or debit card details, along with one-time passwords. The police advised the public to protect themselves through measures such as blocking international calls and SMSes, using only official banking apps from recognised app stores and setting security features such as two-factor authentication for banking apps, social media and Singpass accounts.
