Singaporean victims have lost at least $195,000 in cryptocurrency to scams impersonating Apple support over the past two weeks. Police reported five cases of this particular scam variant since August 7th. Scammers are posing as Apple support staff, typically contacting victims through calls or messages offering assistance with supposed Apple accounts or devices. These fraudulent interactions then manipulate victims into revealing sensitive information or transferring crypto assets. Authorities warn individuals to be wary of unsolicited communications claiming to be from Apple, and to verify authenticity through official channels. Victims are advised to report incidents and seek assistance from the Anti-Scam Centre. The rise highlights the increasing sophistication of online fraud targeting cryptocurrency investments.
