SINGAPORE: Police on Saturday (Dec 16) warned of a new phishing scam involving fake Domino’s Pizza websites.
Victims fell prey to the scam when they searched for "Domino's Pizza" online and clicked on an advertisement in the search results.
The phishing websites may resemble Domino Pizza’s genuine website and bear similar URLs, such as domino-plza.com and order.domino.piza.com.
Victims would place an order through the phishing scam websites and enter their credit card details to make payment.
"Victims would realise that they had been scammed after they were notified or discovered unauthorised card transactions made on their debit/credit cards," said the police.
Seven victims fell victim to the scam between Nov 25 and Dec 6, losing about S$27,000 (US$20,200) in total, police said.
Police advised members of the public to install the ScamShield App and add security features such as two-factor authentication (2FA) or transaction limits for internet banking transactions.
“Look out for telltale signs of a phishing website and if the deal is too good to be true, it probably is,” police said.
“Check with the company on its official website if such deals are available and check your card transactions before approving them.
“If in doubt, never share your personal information and payment card details with anyone.”
