SINGAPORE - Fake advertisements that name Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and use his image to promote crypto scams, among others, have been seen on the Internet recently, PM Lee said on Facebook on Saturday night.
"If the ad uses my image to sell you a product, or asks you to invest in some scheme, or even uses my voice to tell you to send money, it's not me," he added. In his post, he attached a screenshot showing a fake CNA report titled "Special Report: Lee Hsien Loong's latest investment has the Government and big banks terrified". His photo was used in the article.
In one case, scammers created an e-mail to look like it came from the Prime Minister's Office and its contents thanked the recipients for their contributions to Singapore.
