Watch out for
A fake SG Arrival Card website charges US$30 and phishes travellers' details — use only ICA's official e-Service at https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard or the official app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. [20]
ICA never asks for money or bank log-in details by phone; if you are suspicious, call the ScamShield 24/7 helpline at 1799. [12]
