SINGAPORE — The Supreme Court has warned the public to be wary of phishing emails appearing to be from the judiciary informing recipients that they are being served a letter, shared via Dropbox Business, from the court.
In an advisory issued on Wednesday (Jan 19), the Supreme Court said that the email would show up from info1 [at] judiciary.gov.sg by the “Supreme Judiciary Council” and contain a PDF attachment that reads “GOV.SG-LETTER011822.PDF”.
“The emails will usually request for personal information such as name and identification details including NRIC or the FIN number of individuals,” added the court.
The court reminds the public that the judiciary does not use the @judiciary.gov.sg domain name to send emails to members of the public or request for information to be sent via Dropbox Business.
Recipients of such an email are advised not to respond, disclose any personal or banking details to the sender, download any attachment or click on any URL link provided in the email.
Those with case-related queries can contact the Supreme Court Registry by email at SUPCOURT_Registry [at] supcourt.gov.sg or by phone.
Members of the public with information related to such crimes may call the police hotline at 1800-255-0000, or submit it online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.
