Singapore Police Force campaigns against scams in #BirdBoxChallenge social media ad

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) would never run out of appeal and comical styles, as they became viral again in their campaign against scams in a cinematic style with the #BirdBoxChallenge. Netizens tasted once more the other side of SPF aside from their dance moves and upbeat music videos. Netflix’s BirdBox was a box-office worldwide and the #BirdBoxChallenge has become a craze nowadays. SPF did not miss the opportunity to ride on that as they took that challenge too. The Facebook page of Rochor Neighbourhood Police Centre posted a man in blindfold standing in front of the ATM, with a caption: “Don't transfer blindly.” The ATM screen flashed the words: “BEWARE OF MONEY TRANSFER SCAM…Be careful, you may be a victim of a scam.” Netizens commended the police force for a witty ad. Others posted their funny remarks too.   Scams have been affecting a lot of people already that SPF wanted the public to be vigilant about it. In fact, in the Facebook page of Singapore Police Force, a crime advisory on e-commerce scams was posted recently.
