Seven drivers were nabbed for offering illegal rides across the Singapore-Malaysia border, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Monday (June 22).The errant drivers were caught in enforcement operations conducted by the authority, which receives tip-offs from the National Private Hire Vehicles Association and National Taxi Association.All the seven vehicles have been impounded, said LTA in a Facebook post on Monday night.Based on the photographs shared by the authority, areas which the drivers were caught include Pioneer and Changi Airport.Since July 2025, over 5,000 vehicles have been checked as part of a clampdown on unlicensed cross-border rides.For providing illegal ride-hailing services, drivers could be fined up to $3,000 and/or face six months' jail time, and their vehicle may be forfeited.LTA reminded members of the public to only engage Grab's licensed cross-border ride-hailing service or a Singapore-registered cross-border taxi for personal safety.
An old scam variant involving the impersonation of the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has re-emerged, the police said on Monday (June 22).At least 13 cases have been reported since June 1, with losses amounting to at least $74,000.Victims would receive text messages purportedly from LTA, urging them to settle their outstanding Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) fees by clicking on a link provided.They are urged to do so to «avoid additional charges», compelling victims to act. Those who click the link would be directed to a phishing website which resembles the official LTA or OneMotoring website, where the victims would then be prompted to enter their vehicle number and personal information, including banking and card details.The victims would only realise they had been scammed after they discover unauthorised transactions in their bank accounts.Police urged members of the public not to click on such links as messages from LTA on unpaid fees or road tax bills do not contain payment links to the OneMotoring website or to payment portals.
