Elevated scam pressure

Job, e-commerce, and government-official impersonation scams — ScamShield as the national shield.

Last reviewed 2026-09-01 · sources below

What the landscape looks like

Singapore Police data shows job scams (fake hiring tasks with “deposits”), e-commerce non-delivery, and official-impersonation calls as the persistent top three.
ScamShield blocks known scam senders/calls nationally — keeping it enabled is the single highest-leverage defence.
Government agencies never ask for money transfers over calls or messaging apps.

Persistent top scam

Fake-job tasks

ScamShield

Rule of thumb

Officials never take money by phone

Fake-job task scam

“Recruiter” pays small rewards for likes/tasks, then demands deposits to unlock higher tiers — then disappears.

Government-official impersonation

Callers pose as police/ICA/bank officers alleging laundering, demanding secrecy and transfers for “investigation”.

Enable ScamShield and keep it updated.
Legitimate employers never ask candidates to pay deposits.
Verify officials by calling published hotlines, never callback numbers from the caller.

Run the free checks before your next transaction

Defensive use only — please read

These checks use public records and threat-intelligence feeds. A “clean” result means “not seen in the sources checked”, never “guaranteed safe”.
Check only addresses, numbers, and handles you own or have a genuine reason to verify. Looking up another person without a lawful basis may violate India's DPDP Act 2023 and IT Act 2000.
We never display passwords, dumps, or stolen data — only aggregate safety signals and what to do next.
Victim of fraud or harassment? Report at cybercrime.gov.in (India) and contact local police in an emergency — this site is not emergency response.
