  • Social media accounts impersonating York Hotel and publishing fake advertisements, approaching members of the public for their personal data or bank card details
  • Local telephone calls will not begin with the prefix “+65” as these are international calls likely from scammers
  • Messages that include dubious web links which are downloaded as malware such as viruses, ransomware, spyware or adware on your device. This could also be one-time passwords (OTP) upon clicking the link which ultimately tricks the victims into providing personal details
