How will the introduction of gov.sg SMSes reduce government official impersonation scams in Singapore?

Question

Accepted Answer

The gov.sg SMS Sender ID is protected, and only government agencies are able to use it. Since various government agencies, ministries, statutory boards, and services are using a single SMS Sender ID, it becomes easier for the public to identify legitimate government communications sent by SMS.

This should help reduce the occurrence of government official impersonation scams.
