๐จ SCAM ALERT: Seniors, Stay Safe from Fake Active Ageing Centre Advertisements! ๐จ
Dear PCS Cedar Tree AAC seniors, stay alert! โค๏ธ
Scammers can be friendly, helpful, and convincing. Even if someone shares photos of activities or claims to be an AAC staff member, always take a moment to verify.
Here are 5 ways to protect yourself:
โ
Verify before you trust.
If you see an advertisement for senior activities, check directly with the AAC using its official contact details.
๐ต Never download unknown apps.
Do not install apps or APK files sent through WhatsApp, SMS, or social media, even if someone claims they are needed to register for activities.
๐ Never share your OTP.
Do not reveal one-time passwords, banking details, or Singpass information to anyone.
โธ๏ธ Stop and check.
If someone pressures you to act quickly, download an app, or follow unfamiliar instructions, pause and speak to a trusted family member or PCS Cedar Tree AAC staff member first.
๐ Act quickly if something feels wrong.
If you have downloaded a suspicious app or suspect your bank account has been compromised, contact your bank immediately to secure your account. Call the 24-hour ScamShield Helpline at 1799 for scam-related advice.
๐ Remember, it is always okay to ask for help.
You do not need to handle suspicious messages or calls alone. Please share this reminder with your family and friends so we can keep one another safe. At PCS Cedar Tree AAC, your safety and well-being matter to us.
Let's stay alert, look out for one another, and keep our community scam-safe. Reach out to your nearest PCS Cedar Tree Active Ageing Centre through our official contact page to verify any information before responding, downloading an app or sharing personal details.
