新加坡:警察11月2日起统一以来电显示6000 0999外拨 应对冒充官员诈骗

新加坡11月1日宣布,警察部队将从11月2日起成为首个启用单一前缀号码的政府机构:所有外拨电话统一以来电显示6000 0999打出,以加强防范冒充政府官员诈骗(GOIS)。这是数码发展与新闻部、资讯通信媒体发展局、开放政府产品团队与警察部队多机构合作的成果。
从周一(11月2日)起,警察的外拨电话之后还会跟一条来自 gov.sg 短信发送身份的短信,告知公众如需进一步协助如何联系警察。公众在每次通话后如需帮助,可通过警察的反馈门户或反馈热线1800-358-0000联系。
数码发展与新闻部长杨莉明(Josephine Teo)今年7月7日在回复国会议员 Shawn Loh 的议会提问时说,政府严肃对待冒充威胁,并致力于打击损害公众对政府通信信任的来电。
数据方面,新加坡诈骗与网络犯罪案件总数去年从2024年的55810起降至41974起,但冒充政府官员诈骗案件却从2024年的1504起翻倍有余至去年的3363起,成为此次统一号码要对付的主要风险。
Singapore: Police to Use Single Caller ID 6000 0999 From November 2 to Fight Government Impersonation Scams
Singapore announced on November 1 that the police will be the first government agency to launch a single, prefixed caller number, 6000 0999, starting November 2, as part of efforts to strengthen safeguards against government official impersonation scams (GOIS). The initiative was developed through a multi-agency effort by the Ministry of Digital Development and Information, the Infocomm Media Development Authority, Open Government Products and the police.
From Monday, outgoing calls from the police will be made from the single caller ID 6000 0999, followed by an SMS from the gov.sg sender identity informing recipients how they may contact the police if they require further assistance. Members of the public can contact the police via their feedback portal or feedback hotline at 1800-358-0000.
Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo told parliament on July 7, in reply to a question from MP Shawn Loh, that the government takes the threat of impersonation seriously and is committed to combating calls that undermine public trust in government communications.
While the total number of scam and cybercrime cases in Singapore fell to 41,974 last year from 55,810 in 2024, the number of GOIS cases more than doubled from 1,504 in 2024 to 3,363 last year, the main risk the single number is designed to counter.
