How to spot a scam call?

2306

ANSWER

  1. Official local callers will not have a “+” prefix. Seeing what seems like a local number with a “+” prefix is likely to be a spoofed call. Only incoming international calls have the “+” sign prefix displayed whilst local calls will not have a “+” prefix.
  2. Official callers will not request for personal or financial information over the phone. We are aware of calls falsely informing recipients that they are from MOH, requesting for your personal or financial information over the phone. We urge recipients not to respond to these calls.
  3. Official callers will never send you a recorded message.
Please always verify the authenticity of instructions before offering any personal or financial information. You can verify the authenticity of emails or phone calls by calling us at 1800 333 9999.
If you receive such a call, call the Police at 1800 255 0000 or submit a report online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness. Thank you.
