Scams are a huge problem globally and in Singapore, affecting individuals, families and businesses alike. They come in many forms, from online phishing and investment fraud to impersonation and love scams, and they continue to evolve with technology.
In 2024, Singaporeans collectively lost SGD$1.1 billion to scams.
These deceptive schemes prey on trust and emotion, often leaving victims facing significant financial and emotional loss.
Raising awareness and educating the public about how scams operate is essential in building a safer and more vigilant community.
