Common scams
Impersonation scams
Impersonation scams can come in the form of a phone call from someone claiming to be a MyRepublic technician or customer service officer. They may call from a local number with a ‘+65’ prefix and mislead you to believe that your account has been compromised, or offer to troubleshoot your mobile and/or internet connection. They would ask for your personal information, account information, passwords, bank/card details, or OTP before providing further assistance. Do not engage with the caller and do not disclose confidential information.
Phishing scams
Phishing scams can take the form of emails or SMSes that may appear to be sent from MyRepublic, but are instead sent from malicious organisations. Scammers attempt to trick customers into giving away sensitive personal data such as login IDs, passwords, credit card numbers by offering rewards or false information. The data is then used to gain access to important accounts and can lead to identity theft or financial loss. Be wary and avoid clicking on suspicious links and attachments.
Robotic calls
Robotic calls are automated calls that deliver pre-recorded voice messages over the phone. They may call from local number with a ‘+65’ prefix and may claim to be from MyRepublic. They trick customers to verify identities by giving away personal information such as phone numbers, NRIC/FIN numbers, and card details. Do not engage with the caller should you encounter one.
