Fraud network incident rate in Singapore hits 2.8%

Experts warn of diplomatic concerns arising from fraud network incidents.

The rate of fraud network incidents in Singapore has reached 2.8%, a report from Sumsub, a full-cycle verification platform, revealed.

Fraud networks or fraud rings are groups of individuals engaging in fraudulent activities such as multi-accounting, money laundering, money mulling and personal data breaches.

“We've detected fraud networks ranging from three to over 750 users. In Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries, cyber scam rings target victims with fraudulent schemes like fake jobs or investments,” Pavel Goldman-Kalaydin, Head of AI/ML at Sumsub, said.

“The issue raises diplomatic concerns and deters Chinese tourists from travelling to the region,” Kalaydin added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
