Scam alert: Fake calls about Changi Airport contest

SINGAPORE - Members of the public have been receiving calls informing them that they had won air tickets to Japan in a contest organised by Changi Airport last year, and that the caller needs personal information such as passport details and mailing address for the winners to claim their prizes.

In a statement released by the police on Saturday, the Changi Airport Group has clarified that the calls are not authentic.
