there is an article in today (free tabloid newspaper) warning of the infamous 'inheritance' scam but this time, the email scam carries the ministry of finance address, website and even our finance minister, mr tharman shanmugaratnam's photo to lend a huge dose of credibility to the scam.
the email said 'beneficiaries' should contact a dr. ronald zhuang, head of a bogus 'inheritance transfer section' in the singapore embassy in washington, dc with the email address given as; embassyofsingapore@washington.usa.com, which makes the scam pretty 'official' for those who intend to respond to the purported inheritance.
my comments:
for those who do their homework or in the know should already have noticed that singapore embassies use the sgfma.gov.sg domain and therefore, this 'inheritance' deal cannot be what it is supposed to be.
and that's why i am proud to be part of the management team of promiseland independent where jointly, we (the other directors and our managing director, mr david choo) are like goal-keepers (for want of a better description) in terms of who we sign up to be our product providers. and one guiding principle has and will always be the test of:
" if it is too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true!"
