2022-06-01 11:31:05 #Singpass security measures you should know

Be vigilant against phishing websites, SMSes, emails, or calls requesting for your Singpass ID, password, and SMS OTP. Scammers are constantly updating their methodologies and may even ask for your NRIC details, such as the Date of Issue, to attempt to take over your Singpass account.

While the Government is actively working behind the scenes to block and take down these phishing websites, we also need your help in the fight against scams.
