Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµSpokesman's Comments in response to media queries on callers impersonating Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµofficers in scam calls, 22 April 2015

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore - $name

 

 

        In response to media queries on callers impersonating Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµofficers in scam calls, the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµSpokesman said:

 

        “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has been informed that callers impersonating as Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµofficers have called members of the public to request that they verify their personal particulars and to pay a penalty for issues related to their immigration white card.  The Ministry wishes to clarify that Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµdoes not conduct such verification and does not seek payment of penalties.  

 

        The Ministry takes a very serious view on such scam calls and has filed a police report. We advise members of the public to file a police report immediately if they receive similar phone calls.”
