The Police would like to alert members of the public to a resurgence of phishing scams involving the impersonation of the Land Transport Authority (LTA). Since 1 June 2026, at least 13 cases have been reported with total losses amounting to at least S$74,000.

In this scam variant, the victims would receive text messages purportedly from LTA. The text messages would urge the victims to settle their outstanding Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) fees by clicking the link provided, to avoid additional charges. Upon clicking the link, the victims would be directed to a phishing website which resembles the official LTA or OneMotoring website. The victims would then be prompted to key in their vehicle number and personal information, including their banking and card details. The victims would only realise they had been scammed after they discovered unauthorised transactions in their bank accounts.

Members of the public are strongly advised that messages from LTA on unpaid fees or road tax bills do not contain payment links to the OneMotoring website or to payment portals. Notifications by LTA are sent to vehicle owners via i) SMSes through the “gov.sg” sender identification; ii) e-letters deposited into the vehicle owner’s OneMotoring account accessible only via Singpass login; or iii) hardcopy letters sent to the vehicle owner’s registered address if they have opted for the hardcopy notifications. 

Members of the public are reminded of the following:

• Never disclose your personal information, bank or card details and One-Time Passwords (OTPs) to anyone.
  
  
• Do not click on dubious Uniform Resource Locator (URL) links provided by anyone you do not know or have not verified. 
  
  
• Check for the actual URL link of a hyperlink before clicking on it. Hover your mouse cursor over links in emails to see the actual URL. If you are using a mobile device, long-press the link to display a window with the actual URL.

The Police would like to advise members of the public to adopt the following precautionary measures: 

1. ADD – Add the ScamShield app and set security features (e.g., set up transaction limits for internet banking transactions, use the Money Lock feature to “lock up” a portion of your money). 
   
   
2. CHECK – Check for scam signs with official sources. Check the legitimacy of suspicious messages, phone numbers, and website links via the ScamShield app or the ScamShield website at www.scamshield.gov.sg. You may verify the authenticity of information provided with LTA directly via their official website or hotline at 1800-2255-582. 
   
   
3. TELL – Tell the authorities, family, and friends about scams. Report any fraudulent transactions to your bank immediately.
