MINDEF warns public of scammers seeking NDP cash sponsorship, personal information
It also urged the public not to divulge personal information, if they are unsure of the caller’s identity or credibility.
The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has cautioned the public against scammers impersonating National Day Parade (NDP) representatives from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and requesting cash sponsorships and personal information. According to a Facebook post on August 4, both the NDP Committee and SAF would never ask for monetary donations or personal data over the phone.
MINDEF urged individuals not to share any private or sponsorship details, or engage in any financial transactions if they doubt the caller’s identity. For verification purposes, the public can email ndp@defence.gov.sg. The NDP parade is scheduled to return to the National Stadium on August 9, marking the first event in the venue since 2016.
