Singapore Operational Context
In July 2026, the Singapore Police Force formally launched its new Cyber Command, consolidating the nation's anti-scam, cybercrime operations, investigations, and intelligence capabilities under a single command to strengthen Singapore's response to increasingly sophisticated online fraud. Separately, the SPF announced that a two-month joint operation between the Anti-Scam Centre and five major banks (DBS, OCBC, UOB, Standard Chartered Bank and GXS Bank) successfully disrupted more than 600 scam attempts and prevented over S$38 million in potential losses between 1 May and 30 June 2026 through proactive identification and intervention. These developments reflect Singapore's continued shift towards earlier detection and prevention of fraud. Scam.SG complements this approach by enabling independent verification of ACRA-registered entities before consumers and businesses transact, helping reduce the information asymmetry that scammers exploit.

Intelligence Trend Observation
Page views declined this month even as claim activity rose, suggesting the platform is converting a smaller, more committed pool of visitors into verification action rather than growing its top-of-funnel reach.
Top SSIC sectors by business profile claims this period.
This division covers renovation, electrical, plumbing, and other specialised trade contractors who typically collect deposits upfront before starting work, a payment structure that makes the sector a frequent target for contractor impersonation, where a fraudulent operator collects a deposit and never completes the job. Homeowners and project owners verifying a contractor's registered status before committing payment are a primary driver of claim activity in this sector.
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.
This division spans gyms, sports clubs, and recreation operators that commonly sell multi-month or multi-year memberships upfront, creating exposure to operators that collect payment and cease operating shortly after. Consumers checking a facility's registered standing before signing a membership contract are a typical source of verification activity in this sector.
