After completing the surveys, scammers would ask victims to scan a Singpass QR code sent via messaging apps such as WhatsApp, claiming that it was part of the bank’s verification process to retrieve their survey results and enable payment for the completed surveys.

These bank accounts are then abused by scammers to commit crimes or launder the proceeds of crime.
