⚠️ Beware of Fake Job Offer Scams Targeting Crypto & Tech Professionals

😲 In this variant, scammers posed as recruiters on LinkedIn to target tech and cryptocurrency professionals. Victims are lured into fake interviews and directed to spoofed websites to complete coding assessments, where malware is unknowingly downloaded. This allowed scammers to steal credentials and siphon cryptocurrency, which resulted in losses amounting to USD11.8 million(approximately S$15 million).

Protect yourself:
• Verify recruiters and companies through official channels
• Never download files or execute code from unverified sources
• Watch out for interviewers who refuse to turn on their video

☎️ If in doubt, call the ScamShield Helpline at 1799 or visit www.scamshield.gov.sg.

Watch out for GST Voucher (GSTV) scams

Scammers have been exploiting GSTV payouts as bait to trick victims.

In this variant, scammers impersonate government officials and send phishing messages containing malicious links, claiming that victims are eligible for GSTV payouts.

Victims are prompted to enter their personal details. Scammers then use the compromised information to take over their Telegram accounts, which are subsequently used to send phishing links to their contacts or add them to fake investment scheme groups.

⚠️Remember

Eligible citizens who have previously signed up for the GSTV scheme will automatically receive the payments.

Protect yourself:

✅ All government SMSes are sent from the gov.sg sender ID.

❌ Do not reply, click any links, or provide personal details to unverified sender.

🔗Visit official website at govbenefits.gov.sg for details on GSTV payout.
