SINGAPORE: The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) warned on Thursday (Dec 17) of a fake SG Arrival Card website that is phishing for the personal particulars of travellers arriving in Singapore and requesting payments of US$30 for submission of the card.
The website, Singapore Arrival Card| singapore-arrival-card.com, "claims to be the electronic arrival card introduced by ICA to replace the paper disembarkation/embarkation card", the authority said.

"ICA takes a serious view of such fake websites as they undermine public trust in our system and processes," the authority added.

ICA said a police report has been made and that it would work to bring the website down as well as continue to monitor the situation.
