At least 6,600 victims have fallen prey to an online job scam since January, with losses totalling at least $96.8 million, police said on Saturday.
In this scam, the scammers entice the victims by giving them commission for completing simple surveys before offering them fake job opportunities.
Upon completing these tasks, the victims would receive a small commission. Once the victims were reeled in by the commission, the scammers would ask them to join another WhatsApp or Telegram group to perform “more rewarding tasks”, said police in an advisory. The victims would only realise that they had been scammed when they failed to withdraw their commission, or when the scammers could no longer be contacted.
