SINGAPORE - Scammers are pretending to be Ministry of Finance or government officials to trick the public into disclosing their bank account details to purportedly register for the Solidarity Package payout."MOF would never ask for bank account details over the phone or via e-mail," the ministry said.
Later on April 7, the Government said that permanent residents aged 21 and older with Singaporean parents, spouses or children will be eligible for a one-off payment of $300. Eligible recipients of the Solidarity Payment who have not previously provided bank account details to the Government for such payouts should submit the details only through official websites.In its Facebook post, MOF warned the public against responding to unfamiliar e-mails, text messages or phone calls purportedly from MOF concerning Budget 2020 benefits. They should also refrain from clicking on suspicious e-mail links.
Those who suspect they have fallen prey to a phishing scam should lodge a police report immediately, secure online accounts, and contact their banks if necessary.
