I received an sms from sg-mail (Singapore_police_force_anti-scam_centre@spf.gov.sg) that I could have encountered a job scam of transferring money to a bank account in return for job commissions.

this is my encounter on 14 may 2022. An unknown person contacted me via telegram, saying that they have my number on their records (some job agency person; her account on telegram has been deleted). She then referred another person to contact me (her telegram: eve k).

She gave me the job description, which is to give good reviews to several F&B places. I have to complete first initial 32 reviews to be able to withdraw my 1st commission (which is $11.38). I managed to complete, and the commission was transferred to me by Paynow (since they have my number already). i did not review my bank account number.

Afterwards, she told me to join a group in telegram which has other users and the owner of the company.

They mentioned that there were some bonuses to be won, and user will have to deposit a minimum of $110. some other users also sent their screenshots of how much money they have in their commission account.

Back to eve k, she explained that the next reviews + commission can only proceed if I deposit a minimum of $110 as well.

i gave excuses that I have no money etc, and initiated to return the commission of $11.38 as I can't participate anymore. she said I don't have to return, then, I left the telegram group. so far no one there contacted me except eve k, even though we have already ended the conversation the day prior.


Additional info:
website given by the person (eve k) always has access denied error, she would then give me different urls, and chrome/opera browser would say there is a security alert.
