Phone impersonation scams have been emerging again, said the police in a statement.
Just three days ago on Sep 3, Stomp reported how a woman had gotten a call claiming to be from the "Singapore High Court" and was told that she has received a "summons".
In the latest variant, members of the public would typically receive phone calls from scammers claiming to be officers from the Supreme Court or staff from Singtel informing them of the following:
-
A mobile number registered in their name was involved in a crime;
- There was a pending case in court against them; and/or
- They had committed a criminal offence and were required to assist in investigations
