😲 Did you know⁉️ Job scams are one of the common scam types in Singapore, with over $59 million lost in the first half of 2025. Victims are enticed by the money they can earn for simple and convenient online tasks.

Three notable job scam variants include:
1. Completing online tasks
2. Setting up online business
3. Participating in online survey

In all these situations, victims are always asked to use their own money to do the job.

Victims only realise it is a scam when they cannot withdraw their "earnings/commissions".

❗It is a scam, if the “job” requires you to:

🚩 Pay fees to secure the job
🚩Use your own money for tasks
🚩 Hand over your Singpass or bank account log-in details

🚨 NEW: Caning for Scams from 30 Dec 2025

The Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2025 introduces caning as a further deterrent to fight scams.

Offenders found guilty of scams or scams-related offences may be caned.

⚠️ Scam mules face caning of up to 12 strokes
⚠️ Scammers and syndicate members face mandatory caning of 6-24 strokes

You're a scam mule if you:

🚩Give away bank and payment accounts, SIM cards, and Singpass for scams
🚩Help collect and transfer money, gold, and valuables as part of a scam

Fighting scams is a top national priority. Don't let scammers use you. Protect yourself and others.

Together, we can ACT against scams!
