Police issued a crime advisory on Tuesday about a phone scam
purporting to involve a competition run by Changi Airport.
Members of the public have received calls informing them that they
had won return air tickets to Japan in a contest organised by the
airport last year.
The caller would ask victims for their personal information such as
passport details and mailing address, on the pretext that it was
necessary in order to claim their prize. But after providing the
information there was no further correspondence.
Changi Airport Group (CAG) has clarified that such calls are not
authentic. In official CAG competitions, winners are notified by
telephone and email, followed by an official letter.
