The embassy of the Republic of
Singapore has requested police assistance to stop a fake job scam using the
email addresses of the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) without their
authorization.
An advisory from the SGH said
schemers offer fake job offers to candidates from the Philippines for the
position of staff nurses in SGH through the email addresses of singaporegenhosp@yahoo.com,singaporegeneralhosp@ojoo.com, singaporegenhosp@hush.com.
The scammers reportedly also
publicized and used their online job advertisement in their email communication
to these candidates without SGH approval.
Accordingly, the emails which
were sent to the candidates allegedly under SGH’s name requested payment of
$3800 through a bank account (not owned by SGH) as SGH embassy visa interview preparation
fee.
These emails were sent by forging
the human resource director’s and nursing director’s names of the SGH.
The advisory said SGH would like
to put on record that their organization did not authorize any company under
the abovementioned email addresses and/or its personnel to make any offer of
employment on behalf of SGH and neither did they request for any form of
payment to be made to them or to any bank account.
The Cordillera regional police
said it publicized this information prevent personsfrom being victimized by
this scam and would welcome information this scam so perpetrators would be
arrested.
