Singapore Airlines warns of another scam targeting customers

Thursday, 20 Mar, 2018 0

Singapore Airlines customers are yet again been dogged by would-be scammers.

The airline is warning customers to exercise caution over a ‘lucky draw’ giveaway which is targeting customers.

Customers have been contacted via e-mails and phone calls informing they have won free tickets or have been entered into a prize draw to win flights.

At that point they are then asked for personal data.

"We advise customers to exercise discretion when revealing personal data to unverified sources. Recipients should verify such e-mails and phone calls if they have any doubts, as well as lodge a police report," SIA wrote in a Facebook post.

It is the latest in a long list of scams targeting the airline’s customers.

Last December customers were asked to fill out a customer service survey purportedly from the airline.

A link then directed them to a fake Singapore Airlines website where personal data and bank account details were requested.

Various other similar scams have popped up on Facebook and WhatsApp in recent months.
