The police have warned of a new method that scammers are deploying to fraudulently open accounts with payment service providers (PSPs) — using digitally modified copies of Singapore identity cards (IC).Scammers would use a softcopy of a IC and use digital tools to replace the original facial image on that copy with another facial image.They would then submit the doctored copy online to PSPs to set up payment service account. When PSPs conduct mandatory facial liveness checks, the scammers would then instruct an accomplice who resembles the doctored image to undergo the checks.The police said some of the misused ICs belonged to victims of scams who had previously furnished softcopies to the scammers. The Monetary Authority of Singapore has since alerted all financial institutions of this new modus operandi, and the affected PSPs have tightened measures.It is an offence to forge a document or electronic record, including by making alterations to such record, with the intent to use it for the purpose of cheating.
