The Police would like to alert members of the public to a recent uptick of phishing scams involving fake AXS websites. Since 17 April 2025, there were at least 14 of such cases, with total losses amounting to at least $23,000.
In this variant, victims would use search engines such as Google to search for the AXS website to make payment for their outstanding bills. The top search results would lead victims to phishing websites (e.g. www.estation-axs.com, www.e-station-axs.com) resembling the AXS website. Victims would then be prompted to key in their personal and credit or debit card information to pay their bills. They would only realise that they had been scammed when they discovered that their bills have not been paid or unauthorised transactions, mostly in foreign currencies have been made on their credit or debit cards.
The Police would like to advise members of the public to adopt the following precautionary measures:
- ADD – Add the ScamShield app and set security features (e.g. set up transaction limits for internet banking transactions, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), Multifactor Authentication for banks and e-wallets, opt not to activate overseas transaction for credit/debit cards). Use Money Lock to secure a portion of your savings.
- CHECK – Check the webpage address for discrepancies and always verify the authenticity of any clickable links. Do not click on clickable links provided by unknown persons. You can also check the legitimacy of suspicious messages, phone numbers and website links via the ScamShield app or website at www.scamshield.gov.sg.
- TELL – Tell the authorities, family, and friends about scams. Call your bank immediately and make a police report if you think you have fallen victim to a scam.
If you are in doubt, call the 24/7 ScamShield Helpline at 1799 to check. For more information on scams, members of the public can visit www.scamshield.gov.sg. Fighting scams is a community effort. Together, we can ACT Against Scams to safeguard our community!
