FairPrice alerts customers to watch out for bogus $4,000 giveaway scam circulating on WhatsApp
In an e-mail alert to customers, it warned that the scam questionnaire – making the rounds on WhatsApp – is not linked to FairPrice nor endorsed by it.
FairPrice said anyone who has received the questionnaire should avoid clicking on the link and sharing any personal information.
The bogus message promises a cash reward in exchange for completing the questionnaire – a common tactic used by scammers to gain access to sensitive data.
FairPrice reminded customers that all official promotions and product offers are available only through the FairPrice Group app or its official website.
'We will never send SMS, WhatsApp or other messages asking for your username, password or financial information,' it added.
Shoppers who receive suspicious messages can contact the FairPrice customer service hotline on 6380-5858 or e-mail queries to general.feedback@fairprice.com.sg.
Official updates are also provided on FairPrice's verified social media channels.
Customers who are offered deals that seem too good to be true must be cautious, it added.
