KL-Singapore HSR scammers prey on unsuspecting victims

SINGAPORE: Scammers have been using the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project to dupe others into “investing” in their project, Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) warned.

“The scammers have presented fake contracts, bonds and construction drawings – claiming they were issued from either Singapore or Malaysia – to prey on unsuspecting victims,” said LTA in its Facebook.

The Authority has also appended its posting with the fake documents.

One of the fake documents seen as “Fund Release Order Certificate” came with a letter head of “Ministry of Finance, Exchange Control Division, Kingdom of Malaysia” and “Malaysia coat of arms”.

The fake certificate is signed by “Ahmad Haziq” as “Malaysia Minister of Finance”.

“If anyone with such documents contacts you to request for a transfer of money, please make a police report immediately,” said LTA.
