SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): The public should stay vigilant against scams where impostors pretend to be the Commissioner of Police, who is the highest-ranking police official. The e-mail, the police said, contains a “warning letter” which claims that the police and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore have started investigating the e-mail’s recipients for their involvement in criminal activities. In that “warning letter”, the police said, victims would be told to submit their written statement to a designated e-mail address. In their statement on Dec 28, the police underscored that these e-mails are not issued by them or by any government officials. People should never transfer or hand over monies, cryptocurrencies or other valuables to unknown people or to anyone whose identify one has not verified, the police said.
