Job Scams Regarding Tan Tock Seng Hospital

Scammers have created fake email address to email to victims regarding job opportunities in Singapore. The scammer would then collect fee from the victims.

Do note that big organisations and companies will have their own domain name in their email addresses. For example, Tan Tock Seng Hospital's domain name is www.ttsh.com.sg and their email addresses will be something like contact@ttsh.com.sg. They will not use free emails such as GMail, Yahoo Mail or Outlook.

By the way, the scammer may also get similar domain names like tssh or ttshospital to trick. When in doubt, always Google for the real website and check with the authority.


From Tan Tock Seng Hospital's Facebook page.

Dear friends,

We wish to alert you of a possible scam, where emails requesting payment for employment opportunities at Tan Tock Seng Hospital were sent to residents in the Philippines. These emails invited interested applicants to attend a supposed 'Tan Tock Seng Hospital Working Visa Interview Coaching' in the Philippines on Aug 3-4. Please note that Tan Tock Seng Hospital did not send out any emails of this nature. The emails are from tantocksenghosp@live.com, which is a bogus email address.

Tan Tock Seng Hospital does not have a consultancy firm in the Philippines, nor do we collect payment from candidates for any training or coaching. Any interest on job opportunities are to be made directly with our Human Resource department at hr_enquiry@ttsh.com.sg.

We have reported this matter to the authorities. Do warn your friends or loved ones who may have received similar emails. Our thanks to those who alerted us to this. Thank you.

Email Scam Continues

There is no doubt that most of us can differentiate scam emails from the rest, however, there are still many inexperienced internet users who may fall into their tricks. Do look out for vulnerable family members and friends.

Email Scam - WordPress URL - googles.html and others

Recently, there is a mass outbreak of automatic spamming from Singaporean owned email accounts. Such email spamming is common but quite uncommon for so many accounts to be infested.

The spam emails contain no subject and the bodies of the message contain only a single url with no comment added.

"Less is more" and this is probably the tactic of the hacker (scammer) to involve fewer text to not arouse suspicious from receiver of the scam email. This is probably the reason why some victims have clicked the url indicated.

We cannot confirm if your email account will be hacked immediately once you open the URL or is it a phishing page that asks you to key in your password to login to your email account.

Below are some of the scam URLs we have gathered for the past few days:

PLEASE DO NOT OPEN ANY OF THEM.

We have noticed some similarities in the URLs, which may be linked to WordPress, which also includes a HTML file "googles.html" - of course, not for all. Therefore, we cannot confirm if all of them are the work of the same scammer. All, except for the last 2 URLs, are hosted by the webhost dreamhost.com.

Our analyzed results are (excluding the last 2 URLs):
1. The scammer may own all the domain names and has created the paths to mislead victims
2. The scammer may have hacked the webhost and uploaded the files
3. The scammer may have created a dummy plugin for WordPress blog owners to install

Whatever is the case, do make sure you let your friend know if he/she has sent you an email with similar URL. In fact, you should not open just any URL in email without checking with the sender. Victims should change their email accounts' password immediately and possibly, do a full system anti-virus scan.
