SINGAPORE: The Supreme Court has warned the public of a recent spate of senders impersonating phishing emails, informing recipients that they are receiving a letter from the court.
The Supreme Court said in a press release on Wednesday (Jan 19) that the phishing emails were sent by the “Supreme Judiciary Council” from info1@judiciary.gov.sg.
They contain PDF documents shared through the hosting service Dropbox Business, and “often require personal information such as name and identifying information,” such as an NRIC or FIN number.
The court added: “Anyone who receives such an email should not reply and should not disclose any personal or banking details to the sender.”
The Supreme Court said those who received the email should not download any attachments or click on the links provided.
It added: “The judiciary will not use the @judiciary.gov.sg domain name to send emails to the public, nor will it request information to be sent via Dropbox Business.”
The court said legal documents can only be served by an authorized process server, and will send you a Registrar’s Notice or “Letter of the Court” if you need to appear in court or need to provide information.
