Beware of Scammers Posing as ADCC Invite You to Co-operate with Investigation on WhatsApp | Secondary Scams
2026-04-10
The Police have discovered that scammers impersonating officers of the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC) contacted scam victims on WhatsApp. The scammers called victims’ names straight and mentioned some scam details (e.g. they used Factor One, a fraudulent investment platform) to try to gain their trust. Fortunately, the extremely vigilant victims called the police immediately for verification and revealed that those were secondary scams.
In order to scam victims again, scammers frequently exploit their moods about recovering defrauded money as soon as possible by posing as the police.
