Is this job a scam?
Job scams are among Singapore’s five most common scam types. Paste the ad and we check it against the same patterns that screen every WorkJio listing. No sign-up, nothing stored.
Four signs of a job scam
- Money up front. Deposits, “activation” or training fees. Legitimate employers pay you, not the reverse.
- Singpass, NRIC or bank login requested to apply. Never share these.
- “Simple tasks” from your phone with daily payouts. Task scams have cost Singaporeans over S$10 million since October 2025.
- Telegram-only contact with no company name, address or UEN.

Current job-scam patterns in Singapore
- Task and survey jobs
- Social-media ads for simple online tasks. Victims earn a little, then pay deposits to unlock more. Over 215 cases and S$10.6 million lost since October 2025 (SPF).
- Agency impersonation and Singpass
- Fake concert-crew or event-crew ads in a real agency’s name; victims hand over Singpass access. Check the MOM employment-agency licence number and never share Singpass.
- Crypto “work from home”
- Roles that lead you into buying cryptocurrency or sharing a seed phrase.
- Money-mule roles
- “Easy pay” for receiving transfers or lending your bank account. This is an offence even if you were deceived.
