SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has issued a fresh warning after detecting three new cases involving fraudulent bulk orders.
According to MINDEF, the perpetrators used forged procurement documents to impersonate the ministry or the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
These latest incidents differ from earlier cases, where scammers made contact via phone calls rather than using forged paperwork.
In recent months, a series of scams have targeted local businesses across Singapore.
As of 19 September, six individuals had been arrested in connection with scams involving the impersonation of SAF staff.
