LTA warns public about impersonators and scams

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has issued a public warning against individuals impersonating its officers and engaging in fraudulent activities. Scammers are reportedly approaching members of the public, falsely claiming they can facilitate the arrangement of taxi permits and other LTA services for a fee. These imposters are misleading individuals into believing they can expedite or secure services through unofficial channels. The LTA has clarified that all official transactions and dealings are conducted exclusively at its designated LTA offices. Furthermore, the authority emphasizes that genuine LTA officers will never contact individuals by phone to arrange permits or request payments. The LTA urges the public to exercise vigilance and not fall victim to these deceptive schemes. It advises anyone who encounters suspicious activity or individuals claiming to represent the LTA in such a manner to report it immediately to the authority. This measure aims to protect the public from financial loss and maintain the integrity of LTA's official processes.
