SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has issued a scam alert over e-mails
purporting to be from its officers.

In a Facebook post on Monday (May 23), MOM said a fake e-mail has been
circulating that appears to be sent from its Labour Relations and Workplaces
Division, and is attached with a zip file of a form for recipients to declare
they have received their salary from their employer.

The scam e-mail, shown in a screenshot in MOM's Facebook post, claims that the
ministry requires all employers to submit a monthly declaration to ensure all
workers are paid their salary in a timely manner.



Recipients are instructed to fill in the attached declaration form to indicate
whether they have been paid their salary for the month of April and to submit
the form before the end of May.

MOM said this is a scam, and that it does not send e-mails with zip file
attachments.

Members of the public are advised to immediately lodge a police report if they
have been affected by this scam.




In an advisory on its website, MOM said the public can call the anti-scam
helpline on 1800-722-6688 if they know of any suspicious e-mails or calls.

The ministry also reminded the public to be alert and to make sure that the
website visited does not use a similar but fake URL.

MOM added that it will not ask for financial information over the phone.
