SINGAPORE — If you receive a letter that appears to be from the police and signed by a certain “INSP Wong Ka Wei, Senior Investigation Officer, Central Police Division”, ignore it — it’s fake.

The police issued an advisory on Saturday (Dec 17) following reports lodged by members of the public who have received such letters.

The fake police letters asked recipients to report at Central Police Division on Dec 20, 2016 to assist in investigations into “an offence of Public Nuisance committed at Cantonment Police Division on 28 November 2016”.

"These letters were not issued by the Police. There is no Cantonment Police Division within the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and there is also no officer by the name of INSP Wong Ka Wei from Central Police Division, “ said the police.

If in doubt, members of the public may verify the authenticity of such letters by contacting the respective police divisions at www.police.gov.sg/content/contact-us.
