SINGAPORE - Beware, if you receive calls or messages requesting that you disclose personal particulars, transfer money or install apps from unofficial sources, to claim your SG60 vouchers.
They may be from scammers phishing for your information, the police said on July 4.
They added that the public will never be approached for their personal particulars via phone calls, social media or e-mail. One would also not be asked to transfer money or download third-party apps to claim SG60 vouchers, or other types of government benefits.
All adult Singaporeans will receive a specially designed postcard in the mail containing a QR code to redeem the SG60 vouchers. The QR code will lead to the
SG60 vouchers page and the
RedeemSG website .
A unique SG60 voucher link will then be sent via SMS from upon redemption, said the police.
They encouraged the public to use the inbuilt QR code reader on their mobile devices, instead of third-party ones.
