SGSingapore police have warned about a scam targeting residents with fake courier company messages, resulting in over $259,000 in losses since June 24. At least 43 cases have been reported, including 20 on July 13 alone. Victims received messages from numbers with Morocco’s country code (+212) or emails mimicking legitimate couriers like Ninja Van and J&T Express, claiming their parcels couldn’t be delivered due to an 'invalid' address. These messages directed victims to click on links resembling genuine courier websites, prompting them to pay a 're-delivery fee' by entering card details and authorizing payments. In some instances, credit cards were linked to online payment platforms without consent. Victims became aware of the fraud only after noticing unauthorized charges on their accounts.
