Check Scam.SG For Scams Before You Leap

Did you know that sharing your Singpass, bank account, or SIM/eSIM card with others is a criminal offence in Singapore? 
Many Singpass scams and bank account scams begin when scammers convince victims to “lend” their accounts for quick cash, turning them into money mules in Singapore without realising it.
Scammers use your bank accounts to receive and transfer illegal funds, making it harder for authorities to trace the money trail. They also exploit local SIM cards and mobile numbers to appear trustworthy, increasing the success of their scams.
Even if someone claims it’s for a harmless purpose, sharing your Singpass or SIM card could make you part of a scam syndicate. Those found guilty face serious penalties, including imprisonment.
From October 2025, anyone under investigation for or convicted of money mule offences in Singapore will face strict restrictions limiting access to:

• Banking services
• New mobile lines
• Singpass and Corppass accounts (in later phases)

At Scam.SG, we urge everyone to stay alert.
Never share your Singpass, bank accounts, or SIM/eSIM cards. Doing so enables scammers to commit fraud and identity theft, harming both victims and the wider community.
Stay smart, stay safe, stay vigilant with Scam.SG.
