The Ministry of Defence (Mindef) has warned the public about fraudulent bulk orders made by individuals claiming to be Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) personnel.
In a Facebook post on Sep. 14, Mindef said that it is aware of seven such cases and has not found any evidence that these individuals are affiliated with the SAF.
"The SAF takes a serious view of this," Mindef wrote, adding that it has made reports to the police.
A few affected businesses shared their predicaments on social media or with media recently."We urge the public, including businesses, to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Police. They can also refer to the Police Advisory On Fake Bulk Order Scams for more information."
Another local business, Breaditation Bakery, took to their Instagram on Sep. 13 to share that they may have fallen prey to a similar scam.
A man claiming to be an army officer had placed a S$2,000 order but later did not turn up to collect the orders.
