These documents may contain government logos, company registration details, official formatting and other information designed to gain the recipient\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n<p>Before relying on any ACRA certificate or Business Profile, individuals and businesses should independently verify its authenticity through ACRA\u2019s official verification services.<\/p>\n<p>The warning highlights the importance of proper due diligence, particularly before transferring money, entering into an agreement or providing confidential information to an unfamiliar party.<\/p>\n<h5>How Fake ACRA Documents May Be Used<\/h5>\n<p>An ACRA certificate or Business Profile is commonly used to confirm that an entity has been registered in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>However, scammers may alter a genuine document or create a false certificate using information obtained from public sources. The document may then be presented as evidence that a company or business opportunity is legitimate.<\/p>\n<p>Fake or altered documents may be used in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employment and recruitment scams.<\/li>\n<li>Investment or loan scams.<\/li>\n<li>False supplier or customer arrangements.<\/li>\n<li>Business acquisition proposals.<\/li>\n<li>Online trading and purchasing scams.<\/li>\n<li>Requests for deposits, administrative fees or advance payments.<\/li>\n<li>Transactions involving parties pretending to represent a registered company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The appearance of a company on ACRA\u2019s register does not necessarily prove that the person contacting you is authorised to represent that company. Scammers may misuse the name, UEN, address or registration information of a genuine business.<\/p>\n<h5>Warning Signs of a Potentially Fake ACRA Certificate<\/h5>\n<p>Businesses and individuals should remain cautious when reviewing certificates received from third parties.<\/p>\n<p>Possible warning signs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Company information that does not match Bizfile records.<\/li>\n<li>Inconsistent fonts, spacing, colours or formatting.<\/li>\n<li>Missing or suspicious QR codes and verification links.<\/li>\n<li>Spelling mistakes or incorrect government agency names.<\/li>\n<li>An invalid Unique Entity Number (UEN).<\/li>\n<li>Details that appear to have been edited or overwritten.<\/li>\n<li>A verification link that does not lead to an official \u201cgov.sg\u201d website.<\/li>\n<li>Requests to make urgent payments without sufficient explanation.<\/li>\n<li>Payment instructions involving an unrelated personal or overseas bank account.<\/li>\n<li>Refusal by the sender to provide additional supporting information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A professional-looking document should not be treated as conclusive evidence of legitimacy.<\/p>\n<h5>Verify Business Profiles and Certificates Through ACRA trustBar<\/h5>\n<p>ACRA provides a free verification service known as <strong>trustBar<\/strong>. It allows users to check whether certain ACRA information products are authentic and were issued by ACRA.<\/p>\n<p>The service can verify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Business Profiles purchased from 4 March 2023 onwards.<\/li>\n<li>Business Certificates of Incorporation or Registration purchased from 4 March 2023 onwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Users may access the verification function by scanning the QR code or following the verification link contained in the PDF document. An OpenAttestation file may also be uploaded to the trustBar portal for verification.<\/p>\n<p>ACRA\u2019s official trustBar portal is available at:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acratrustbar.gov.sg\/\">https:\/\/www.acratrustbar.gov.sg<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From 8 December 2023, trustBar has also allowed users to check whether the information in certain Business Certificates remains current. However, this currency check is not available for Business Profiles.<\/p>\n<p>For other ACRA information products, including certain extracts, registers and certificates, users should follow the relevant authentication procedures available through Bizfile.<\/p>\n<h5>Conduct an Independent Bizfile Search<\/h5>\n<p>In addition to verifying the document itself, recipients should conduct an independent search through ACRA\u2019s Bizfile portal.<\/p>\n<p>Bizfile\u2019s free search functions can be used to check basic information about a business, including its:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Registered name.<\/li>\n<li>Unique Entity Number.<\/li>\n<li>Current business status.<\/li>\n<li>Registration date.<\/li>\n<li>Registered office address.<\/li>\n<li>Principal business activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Users do not need to log in to access the basic business search functions.<\/p>\n<p>Where a transaction involves significant value or risk, businesses may consider purchasing an updated Business Profile directly from Bizfile instead of relying solely on a copy supplied by the other party.<\/p>\n<h5>A Registered Company May Still Be Misused by Scammers<\/h5>\n<p>Verification of an ACRA document is only one part of the due-diligence process.<\/p>\n<p>A company may be genuinely registered, but the person communicating with you may have no connection with it. Fraudsters may impersonate company directors, employees, recruitment officers, suppliers or professional advisers.<\/p>\n<p>Before proceeding with an important transaction, businesses should independently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contact the company using information obtained from its official website or trusted sources.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the identity and authority of the person representing the company.<\/li>\n<li>Check whether the bank account name corresponds with the contracting party.<\/li>\n<li>Verify email domains and telephone numbers.<\/li>\n<li>Review contracts, invoices and payment instructions for inconsistencies.<\/li>\n<li>Conduct appropriate customer, supplier or counterparty due diligence.<\/li>\n<li>Request additional supporting documents where necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Information appearing on an ACRA document should be compared with information obtained independently rather than accepted without further checking.<\/p>\n<h5>Protect Your Singpass and Confidential Information<\/h5>\n<p>ACRA has also warned the public against attempts by scammers to obtain Singpass credentials and register businesses in victims\u2019 names.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals should never disclose their Singpass ID, password or two-factor authentication details to another person.<\/p>\n<p>According to ACRA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ACRA does not contact customers through SMS or WhatsApp to request Singpass login details.<\/li>\n<li>Emails from ACRA are sent from addresses ending in \u201c@acra.gov.sg\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Official links provided by ACRA should contain \u201cacra.gov.sg\u201d or \u201cbizfile.gov.sg\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>ACRA will not ask individuals to transfer money or disclose bank login details over a telephone call.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Users should type official website addresses directly into their browser and ensure that the domain ends with \u201cgov.sg\u201d before entering confidential information.<\/p>\n<h5>What to Do If You Suspect a Fake Document<\/h5>\n<p>If a document cannot be verified or appears suspicious, do not transfer money or provide sensitive personal and business information.<\/p>\n<p>You should:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Stop communicating through the contact details provided by the suspected scammer.<\/li>\n<li>Verify the business independently through Bizfile.<\/li>\n<li>Check the certificate through trustBar or the relevant ACRA authentication service.<\/li>\n<li>Contact the genuine company using independently obtained contact details.<\/li>\n<li>Preserve copies of emails, messages, certificates, invoices and payment instructions.<\/li>\n<li>Contact ACRA through its official feedback channel if the communication appears to involve ACRA.<\/li>\n<li>Make a police report if you believe that fraud or impersonation has occurred.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Members of the public may also contact the 24-hour ScamShield Helpline at <strong>1799<\/strong> if they are unsure whether a communication is a scam.<\/p>\n<h5>Key Takeaways for Businesses<\/h5>\n<p>ACRA\u2019s warning serves as an important reminder that official formatting, government logos and business registration details do not automatically prove that a document or transaction is genuine.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Verify ACRA certificates through official verification services.<\/li>\n<li>Conduct independent Bizfile searches.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the identity and authority of counterparties.<\/li>\n<li>Match bank account details with the contracting party.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid making payments based solely on documents received by email or messaging applications.<\/li>\n<li>Protect Singpass and banking credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Establish proper customer and supplier due-diligence procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Train employees to recognise suspicious documents and payment instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Effective verification procedures can help businesses avoid financial losses, identity misuse and involvement in fraudulent transactions.<\/p>\n<h5>Final Thoughts<\/h5>\n<p>Fake and altered business documents can appear highly convincing. A certificate may contain an authentic company name, UEN and registered address while still being altered, misused or presented by an unauthorised person.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses should therefore verify both the document and the party presenting it. A quick search through Bizfile or a verification through ACRA trustBar may prevent significant financial and reputational damage.<\/p>\n<p>Companies should also review their internal approval procedures to ensure that no payment, appointment or commercial arrangement proceeds solely because an official-looking document has been provided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/accounting-and-corporate-regulatory-authority-acra-_not-all-official-looking-documents-are-activity-7488805673422688256-QsQx\">ACRA\u2019s warning on official-looking documents<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acra.gov.sg\/resources\/eservice-tools-portals\/trustbar\/\">ACRA trustBar verification service<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acra.gov.sg\/help-support\/public-advisory-protect-yourself-against-scams\/\">ACRA public advisory on scams<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fake ACRA Certificates: Businesses Warned to Verify Official-Looking Documents ACRA Warns Against Fake or Altered Business Certificates Used in Scams The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) has warned the public that not all official-looking business documents are genuine.
