SINGAPORE - Singaporeans who receive an e-mail instructing them to transfer their outstanding stamp duty payment to an account claiming to be held in the name of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue should ignore it, the tax authority said.
In the e-mail titled “Stamp duty matter”, recipients are told to deposit their final payment into a British bank account, which claims to be held in the name of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue.The latest scam comes after the tax authority warned of a phishing website falsely labelled as a “Singapore Government Agency” website earlier this month.
Meanwhile, in a separate advisory on Tuesday, the police and Cyber Security Agency of Singapore cautioned people against downloading files from unknown sources. “Malware may infect mobile devices through various means, including through the downloading of free software from unknown sources, opening of unknown e-mail attachments and visiting of malicious websites,” said the statement.
