FLOATING CASINOS .
ANOTHER FORM OF A SCAM.
THAT THE AUTHORITY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT.
To be
scammed means to be deceived or tricked, usually for financial gain. A scam involves a fraudster (scammer) who uses dishonest tactics to cheat someone out of money, personal information, or valuables.
Scams come in many forms, but they all have the goal of tricking victims into giving away money or sensitive data. Some common scams include:
- Phishing Scams – Fraudulent emails, messages, or websites pretending to be from banks, government agencies, or companies to steal personal details like passwords and credit card numbers.
- Investment Scams – Fake investment opportunities promising high returns but eventually disappearing with the victims' money.
- Love Scams – Scammers build online romantic relationships to manipulate victims into sending them money.
- E-commerce Scams – Fake online sellers take payment but never deliver goods.
- Impersonation Scams – Scammers pretend to be authorities (e.g., police, bank officers, or government officials) to trick victims into transferring money.
- Tech Support Scams – Fraudsters claim that the victim’s computer or phone has a virus and demand payment for fake fixes.
- Unregulated Floating Casinos - Unethical manipulations of Gaming Devices on Jackpot Machines , Card Shufflers , Monitor Screens , Roulette Wheels, Cards, to trick punters.
Singapore is heavily affected by scams
per capita (per person) and in
monetary value (total amount lost). This means:
- Each Singaporean is more likely to be scammed compared to people in many other countries.
- The total amount of money lost to scams in Singapore is very high.
Factors contributing to this include high digital adoption, financial wealth, and scammers using sophisticated online tactics.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Cyber Security Agency (CSA) constantly warn the public, but scammers keep finding new ways to trick people.
