Yesterday Singapore Police Force has issued a statement that there has been a case of fake police letters getting send to homes.
This was made aware to the police after reports of a so called letter signed off by “INSP Wong Ka Wei, Senior Investigation Officer, Central Police Division”.
The letter also tells the recipients to head down to Cantonment Police Division to assist in investigations.
“These letters were not issued by the police. There is no Cantonment Police Division within the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and there is also no officer by the name of INSP Wong Ka Wei from Central Police Division,”
statement by police said that this letter is fake and there is no such division in Singapore Police Force.
Please beware. I suspect that this letter could be a prerequisite to plant a fear in the recipient’s mind and guess what happens next? You might even get a phone call tell you that it’s the police and asking you to pay certain fines or some sort of scam. Who knows the reason why this letter to send out.
We must always be vigilant to read the news and educate ourselves with the latest illegal tactics used by criminals to prevent being a victim of scams.
