MOH Warns Public About Fake 'Digital Health Verification' Emails
The Ministry of Health (MOH) in Singapore has issued an urgent warning to the public regarding a new phishing scam. Scammers are sending fraudulent emails that claim a mandatory "digital health verification" process has been introduced for all residents.
The emails instruct recipients to click on a link to verify their personal details. The ministry has confirmed that these messages are not official and are designed to steal sensitive personal information from unsuspecting victims.
Authorities are reminding the public that official government communications will never ask for personal data through suspicious links in emails or text messages. Residents should always verify information through official channels, such as the official MOH website or the Singpass portal.
If you receive such an email, you should delete it immediately and do not click on any links or provide your personal details. If you have already shared your information, you are advised to report the incident to the police and take steps to protect your accounts, such as changing your passwords.
