PM Lee’s Facebook statement
I was alerted that fake emails purportedly from me are circulating online again.
The content of the email varies – the example here thanks the recipient for their contributions to Singapore. The scammers are relentless.
If you receive such an email, please ignore it! And do not forward it to your friends and family.
We all need to stay vigilant and be extra careful. If in doubt, do check first before you proceed. You can visit www.scamalert.sg or call the Anti-Scam Hotline at 1800-722-6688 for more information on scams. – LHL
