2022-03-23 06:30:00 Asked to reactivate your Singpass account through an unverified link sent via SMS?

It is a scam as Singpass does not send SMSes with hyperlinks. Scammers are spoofing numbers starting with “73333” to make the SMSes look as if they were sent by legitimate organisations.

Never share your confidential details. Be sure to check the website domain and ensure it is the official organisation’s website that you are visiting.

It is a scam! Watch out for this new variant of job scam where scammers would offer jobs to those interested under the disguise of a legitimate travel company.
