Singapore—On Saturday, October 26, Singapore General Hospital (SGH) published a post on its Facebook page to warn the public of a scam.

The hospital noted the errors in the document, saying it has ‘poorly worded and dubious’ content as tell-tale signs to look out for.

The hospital posted a photo of an invoice allegedly from SGH, dated October 25, that read, “Description


Urgent payment of Mdm See (full name redacted) of $23,600 ‘was make’ by credit card no 1845 only for heart urgent transplants surgery @ surgery ward B2 today.

( Full payment must be ‘make’ before surgery )

Total Cost : $23, 600

Amount Due: $600,00

The hospital added in its post, “A fake invoice bearing SGH logo was brought to our attention. It was used to borrow money. Please do not fall prey to such scams.

If you encounter such a letter, please PM us.”

A spokesman for the hospital told The Straits Times (ST) on Sunday, October 27, that SGH has filed a report with the police concerning the matter.

“We were informed of one case of a fake invoice. Although it is only one case, we see the importance to alert the public to be aware and not fall prey to the scam,” said Jennifer Wee, the chief communications officer at SGH.
