Singapore authorities have conducted multiple operations targeting different forms of fraudulent activity. In late October 2026, police arrested three men linked to a transnational scam syndicate. The group allegedly used stolen debit and credit card details to purchase electronics, such as graphics cards, in Singapore. Two of the suspects were apprehended at Changi Airport before they could depart the country.

In a separate two month operation concluding in late October 2026, the Singapore Police Force Cyber Command prevented over S$17.4 million in potential cryptocurrency scam losses. Utilizing blockchain analysis and collaborating with eight digital payment token providers, investigators identified more than 383 potential victims of investment, job, and impersonation scams. This effort involved international cooperation with agencies in the United States, Australia, and Canada to protect foreign victims.
