Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Justin Wong, commander of the SPF\u2019s Cyber Command, said that the SPF has long recognised that tackling sophisticated scam networks requires collaboration with international and private stakeholders.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy partnering closely with industry partners, we can share scam signals that allow our partners to take action to disrupt the criminal infrastructure behind these scams,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis recent operation demonstrates the power of police and private sector collaboration \u2013 scam infrastructure was decisively taken down, cutting off scammers\u2019 ability to defraud Singaporeans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meta, SPF and the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) have also collaborated on public education campaigns designed to protect Singaporeans from scams.<\/p>\n
This includes the One Step Ahead campaign, which encourages the public to turn on in-app security features to enhance account protection, such as two-factor authentication and passkeys for Facebook and Instagram and WhatsApp security features such as Linked Device Notifications, said Meta.<\/p>\n
The campaign also promotes local resources such as the ScamShield website where users can learn more about different scam types and how to stay safe, said the tech giant.<\/p>\n
The campaign has reached 1.6 million people in Singapore, said Meta.<\/p>\n
\u201cScams are a global industry, run across platforms, apps, and borders. Meta\u2019s work with the Singapore Police Force shows that shared information, acted on quickly, changes the equation. Because the best defence against organised crime is an equally organised response,\u201d said Meta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
