SINGAPORE – The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (Iras) issued a warning on Friday (Sept 13) regarding a scam e-mail and advised the public not to share personal or financial information.
In the e-mail, the sender claims to be the chairman of the Ministry of Finance. Written with grammatical mistakes, it asks recipients for their full account details and a scanned copy of their tax receipts, so that US$40,000 (S$54,935) can be credited to them.
Iras said members of the public should not respond to the e-mail. If they shared their personal or financial information, they should lodge a police report, change the passwords on their online accounts and contact their banks to stop any transactions.
The comes after Iras warned last month of a tax refund scam circulating on WhatsApp. Members of the public were advised to avoid responding or circulating the scam e-mail image with the header “Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore-Refund-Online-Confirmation”.
The scam e-mail instructed the receiver to download and complete a tax refund form from a link provided, before submitting it.
