Impersonation Scam
I received a random call from an unknown Singapore number, which displayed as (919668??).
The caller claimed to be from the "ICA" (Immigration and Checkpoints Authority), stating, 'This is an important notice from "ICA". You have an urgent document. For details in English, press 1. For Mandarin, press 2.'
Recognizing this as a scam, I declined to engage further. The ICA typically does not communicate via mobile numbers, and their approach of pressurising individuals into immediate responses is a red flag. I urge everyone to exercise caution and remain vigilant against such attempts at deception
