flag Scammers impersonate Singapore government payouts on Telegram and Instagram, using fake verified accounts to steal personal data and spread fraud.

flag Singapore police warn of a surge in scams on Telegram and Instagram impersonating government payout programs like SG60 and CDC vouchers. flag Scammers use fake accounts with blue verification ticks to send misleading messages with links, tricking users into sharing personal details and Telegram verification codes. flag These codes allow scammers to take over accounts and spread phishing links or recruit victims into investment fraud. flag Authorities confirm the Ministry of Finance does not use Telegram for public outreach and that official information is only shared via verified “gov.sg” channels and websites like go.gov.sg. flag The public is urged to verify suspicious messages using ScamShield and avoid sharing personal data or clicking links from unverified sources.
