Impersonation Scam
Dear sir/madam,
I am an Indian. Recently , 6 months ago we moved to singapore as my husband had an OPPORTUNITY to work here.
last month, I received a call from the number 64385121 saying that he is calling from the ica department and mentioned that I have committed some office in my country(india), they have asked the ica department to take an action on me in singapore. he asked me a few questions like how long i am in singapore. I answered. later he asked me to take out documents like passport, dp card etc . then, i realized that it might be a prank and said i cannot reveal my info over phone. if required i can come to the ica building and provide the details. he then disconnected.
I called the SCAM HELPLINE to enquire and they confirmed that it was a spam call and noted down the number from which i received this call. they also ADVISED me not to take this call as they might ask me to pay money to help me tackle this situation.
again last monday(5th dec, 2018), I received this call. I did not pick up. Today(10th dec 2018), i have received this call again. I did not attend.
though i am completely aware that this is a spam call , I wanted to bring it to your notice so that he will not cheat anyone else.
thanking you,
arthee raghunathan
