Advisory on Fake Anti-Scam App

❗️Beware of a fake SMS impersonating as the “Anti-Scam Centre” (ASC) of the Singapore Police Force sent to Android devices.

• The fake SMS directs recipients to an URL leading to an Android Package Kit (APK) file, an application created for Android’s operating system purportedly from “ASC”.

• Downloading the APK files could cause the device to be infected by malware, which will allow scammers to take control of it remotely.

➡️ Take ACTion against scams:

• Add antivirus/anti-malware app to your device

• Update your device with the latest security patches

• Download and install apps from official app stores

• Do not grant permission to pop-ups that request for access to your device’s hardware or data
