ADVISORY ON FAKE SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE LETTERSÂ #sgpoliceadvisory
The Police are aware of reports lodged by members of the public who have received fake letters purportedly sent by a Police officer. In the letters, the recipients were asked to report to a Police station on a specific date to assist in the investigations of an offence. The letters were signed off by a Police officer from a Police Division, where the name of the Police officer was found to be fictitious.
These letters were not issued by the Police. The reports of these fake letters have been classified as Intentional Harassment under Section 3(2) of the Protection from Harassment Act (POHA) and investigations are ongoing.
If in doubt, members of the public may verify the authenticity of such letters by contacting the respective Police divisions (www.police.gov.sg/content/contact-us).
Members of the public are encouraged to share this advisory with family and friends.
