If in doubt, always start with https://www.mom.gov.sg. Find out more about how to spot a fake government website.

Fake websites have similar but different URLsShow

Fake websites have similar but different URLs

Official MOM websites and eServices’ URLs will always contain “.mom.gov.sg”. For example:

  • “https://www.mom.gov.sg”
  • “https://services.mom.gov.sg”
  • “https://wponline.mom.gov.sg”

MOM's website URL

Some fake websites that we found are:

  • “http://www.mom-sg.org”
  • “http://mom-gov.com”
  • “http://ministryofmanpower.net”
  • “http://wponlinemomgov.sg.com”

These looked very similar to our official URL, but do not have “.mom.gov.sg”.

Some may even try to embed “.mom.gov.sg” into their URLs but their domain name won’t end with “.mom.gov.sg”. Here’re some examples:

  • “http://www.mom.gov.sg@211.239.150.170”
  • “http://www.mom.gov.sg.official.com.net”

These are fakes as their domain names don’t end with “.mom.gov.sg”.

How to identify phone scams or email scams

Scams surface from time to time. These could be in the form of unexpected phone calls or emails claiming to be from MOM.

You may even see the caller ID showing MOM’s hotline: 6438 5122.

They may also ask for money or sensitive personal information.
