Singapore Airlines (SIA) has warned of a scam where members of the public receive calls or emails from people claiming to be employees of the airline to solicit their personal data.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page, SIA said, “It has come to our attention that there are contests, emails and calls that claim to be from Singapore Airlines, which inform recipients of free air tickets, before proceeding to request for their personal data.”

The national carrier also warned customers that there are social media posts and phishing websites that look similar to its official website.

“We advise customers to exercise discretion when revealing personal data to unverified sources. These websites, emails and calls should be verified if in doubt,” it said.

SIA added that members of the public can report suspicious websites to this address http://singaporeair.com/en_UK/feedback-enquiry/
