The Police would like to remind the public to be vigilant against e-commerce scams involving the sale of National Day Parade (NDP) tickets for the SG60 NDP show on 9 August 2025 through platforms such as Telegram and Facebook. Since 1 July 2025, at least five cases were reported with total losses amounting to about $250.
In this variant, victims would encounter listings advertising the sale of SG60 NDP tickets on Facebook or Telegram. When victims expressed interest in the tickets, scammers would convince the victims to make payment via PayNow to purchase the tickets. Victims would only realise that they had been scammed when they did not receive the tickets, or when sellers became uncontactable.
The Police would like to remind all members of the public that NDP tickets are not for sale. NDP tickets are distributed via a balloting system and are free. Any NDP tickets obtained from unauthorised channels will be rendered void and those holding such tickets will be denied entry to the venue.
Members of the public are encouraged to verify the legitimacy of any sales listing before making any transactions, and to report suspicious cases promptly. Members of the public are also encouraged to adopt the following precautionary measures:
- ADD – Add the ScamShield app and enable relevant security features such as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and notification alerts.
- CHECK – Check the details of tickets being sold and verify the authenticity of any offers made. Be wary of advertisements advertising the sale of SG60 NDP Tickets and use the ScamShield app or website at www.scamshield.gov.sg to check suspicious numbers or messages. For official information on the SG60 NDP ticket application, please visit ndp.gov.sg.
- TELL – Inform the authorities and make a police report if you suspect that you have fallen victim to a scam, and alert your family and friends.
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 scamshield.gov.sg. Fighting scams is a community effort—together, we can ACT Against Scams to safeguard our community!
