SINGAPORE — Another fake Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website has surfaced - the second in two months.

The website — www.singapore-epass.com/login.html — bears a striking similarity to the official website, and is phishing for visitors’ visa reference numbers and passport numbers, ICA warned in a statement on Friday (March 23).

Access to the official ICA website — www.ica.gov.sg — remains unaffected, ICA stressed, and no data has been compromised.

A police report has been lodged, as have previous phishing cases pretending to be ICA’s website.

“We will work to bring down the website and will continue to monitor them,” ICA wrote.

In January this year, ICA had warned of a fake ICA website phishing for visitors’ visa application numbers and passport numbers.

ICA reminded the public to only use the official ICA website at www.ica.gov.sg for all informational and transactional needs concerning ICA matters.

In 2016, there were over five cases of phishing websites targeting visitors to ICA’s official website. In most cases, these phishing websites used web addresses with the ‘ICA’ acronym in it, such as ica-spg.org, ica-sg.com, immisg-mom.in, ica-sg.com, sg-immigov.com, icaevisa.com and singaporevisagov.com/tracking-visa.

All these websites have since been taken down.
