Singapore Operational Context
In 2025, Singapore recorded 37,308 scam cases with total losses of S$913.1 million — the first year-on-year decline in the current reporting series, according to the SPF Annual Scam and Cybercrime Brief released in February 2026. Despite this decline, losses remain material: investment scams alone accounted for S$336.2 million, and government official impersonation cases surged 123.6% to 3,363 cases. The structural gap Scam.SG addresses is the absence of an independent, continuously updated verification layer for the 600,000+ ACRA-registered entities that consumers and businesses interact with daily.

Intelligence Trend Observation
Claim activity remained concentrated in Wholesale Trade, suggesting verification demand continues to be driven by industries where trust and counterparty validation are commercially critical.
Top SSIC sectors by business profile claims this period.
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.
Management consultancies and holding entities are frequent impersonation targets due to their advisory roles and access to client financial information. Verification demand in this sector often reflects clients or counterparties checking firm credentials before engaging on sensitive mandates.
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.
