SIA warns customers against air tickets scam

Another round of scams targeting Singapore Airlines customers has proliferated online, with the airline putting up an advisory warning customers. The new iterations of the scams ask for customers' personal data on the pretext that they have won air tickets or were selected for a lucky draw. In a Facebook post on Thursday, SIA said that it was aware of the scam, which was carried out via e-mails, messages and phone calls. "We advise customers to exercise discretion when revealing personal data to unverified sources," it wrote. "Recipients should verify such e-mails and phone calls if they have any doubts, as well as lodge a police report." SIA also advised customers to be wary of phishing websites that appear similar to its official website, and to exercise caution in sharing their personal information and credit card details online. This is the latest in a series of scams that has dogged the carrier.<br/>
