Singapore Operational Context
In April 2026, the SPF reported at least 13 confirmed cases of scammers impersonating police officers on Google Meet video calls, resulting in losses of at least S$32,000. This variant — where fraudsters use SPF branding and official-looking profiles to extract banking credentials — illustrates the continuing evolution of government official impersonation scams, the fastest-growing category in the SPF 2025 Annual Brief (+123.6%). Business identity fraud follows the same impersonation logic at scale: Scam.SG's verification layer makes legitimate entities searchable, scored, and distinguishable from fraudulent imitators.

Intelligence Trend Observation
Page views are growing faster than claim activity this month, suggesting more users are browsing the platform for due diligence without yet acting on what they find.
Top SSIC sectors by business profile claims this period.
IT consultancies face persistent verification demand due to digital-only client relationships and project-based billing structures that create exposure to business identity fraud. Singapore's position as a regional technology hub makes its IT service sector a sustained target for impersonation attempts, particularly in client-acquisition scenarios.
Wholesale distributors operate in high-value B2B supply chains where counterparty verification is commercially critical. Claim activity in this sector reflects suppliers and buyers conducting pre-transaction due diligence, a pattern consistent with the large order sizes and credit exposure typical of wholesale relationships.
