The Supreme Court has been alerted that some members of public had received suspicious calls from persons claiming to be Court Officers who had requested for them to transfer money to a specific bank account or collect a document from the Supreme Court.

Members of public who receive such calls should:

1.  Be Vigilant. Supreme Court would not request for a payment through telephone call, especially to a third party's bank account. In such situations, you should ignore the call.

2.  Do not transfer any money to the caller, either via remittance agencies, banks or any other means. 

3.  Do not provide personal information such as your name, identification number, passport, bank account or credit card details.

We take such incidents seriously as they undermine public trust in the courts. If you have information related to such incidents, call the Police hotline at 1800 255 0000. Please dial 999 only if you require urgent Police assistance.
