"Fake friend" scams typically involve fraudsters contacting victims via text or phone calls pretending to be someone they know, before asking for financial help, the Singapore police said.

“Fake friend call scams are on the rise and this is a serious concern. The Singapore Police Force has been working closely with the Royal Malaysia Police to detect and arrest these transnational syndicates who prey on our citizens," said David Chew, Director of CAD.
