MAS warns of:

- Fraudsters exploiting the impersonation to individuals in positions of power to deceive victims into transferring money or divulging personal information; and
- Scammers using caller ID spoofing and fabricated stories to instil fear and urgency;

Firms should review the warning to ensure their fraud prevention strategies remain robust against evolving threats.
