The latest scam requests for customers’ personal data on the pretext that they have won air tickets or were selected for a lucky draw, reported The Straits Times.
The latest wave of scams targeting Singapore Airlines (SIA) customers has been making its rounds online, with the airline releasing an advisory on its Facebook last Thursday (March 15) to alert customers.
The latest scam requests for customers’ personal data on the pretext that they have won air tickets or were selected for a lucky draw, reported The Straits Times.
SIA said in a Facebook post that it was aware of the scam and warned customers “to exercise discretion when revealing personal data to unverified sources” and that “recipients should verify such e-mails and phone calls if they have any doubts, as well as lodge a police report.”
The airlines also advised customers to be wary of phasing websites that appear similar to its official website and exercise discretion in sharing their personal information and credit card details online.
Customers can also fill out a feedback form at http://singaporeair.com/en_UK/feedback-enquiry/ should they wish to verify such emails or calls.
This is not the first time the airline has been dogged by scams. Last December, scammers posting as SIA sent victims emails asking them to participate in customer satisfaction surveys with the promise of rewards.
In November, scams circulating on messaging application WhatsApp asked victims to share a link with 20 friends to win free first-class SIA tickets.
