Singapore ICA warns of fake website phishing for visa and passport numbers

SINGAPORE Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) warned on Thursday of a fake website that is phishing for visitors' visa application numbers and passport numbers. A police report has also been made.

Members of the public are advised to use only the official ICA website at www.ica.gov.sg for all informational and transactional needs concerning ICA matters.

"We would like to assure everyone that access to the official ICA website remains unaffected and no data has been compromised,'' ICA said.

ICA takes a serious view of such fake websites as they undermine public trust in the system and processes. The authority is working to bring down the website and will continue to monitor it.
