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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
