In 2025 alone, more than 7,000 money mules and scammers suspected of involvement in scam cases were investigated. Over 940 of them have been charged by the police to date, said SPF.
The police added that the situation is still “very concerning” despite the drop in numbers, and tackling scams remains a key priority for the government.
Minister of State for Home Affairs Goh Pei Ming similarly noted that the “fight is far from over”.
“Scams remain the most prevalent crime type in Singapore, and the overall numbers remain high,” he said, adding that scammers continue to adapt their techniques and exploit new vulnerabilities.
Mr Goh said that the government will “double down” on efforts to combat scams and “continue to rally both international and local partners to disrupt the scam lifecycle”.
