SCAM Alert
Fake Emails Impersonating Our Director, Mr Lau Wee Kiat
We are aware of scam emails sent to our customers by fraudsters impersonating our Founder and Director, Mr Lau Wee Kiat. These emails are not from eFusion Technology.
What the scam emails look like
Subject line: “Upcoming Website Renewals and Maintenance Review” (follow-ups may start with “Re:”)
Content: They claim a “recent review” found problems with your website’s performance, compatibility, security or functionality. They then ask you to pay $300 for a “comprehensive website review”, often with an urgent deadline and warnings about website errors or security vulnerabilities if you don’t act.
Follow-ups: The scammers send repeated, polite reminders asking whether you would like to proceed.
Signature: The emails copy Mr Lau’s name, photo and title, along with our company logo, website link and office address, to make them look genuine.
Known fraudulent email addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected] (note the misspelling “efuson”)
Scammers may switch to new addresses, so treat any Gmail or other free email account using our name as fake.
How to verify genuine emails from us
We send emails only from addresses ending in @efusiontech.com or @efusiontechnology.com. We never use Gmail or other free email services. We will never ask you to pay for a website review or maintenance service by email without an existing agreement or a formal quotation and invoice. We will never ask for payment to a personal or new bank account.
If you receive one of these emails:
- Do not reply, click any links, open attachments, or make any payment.
- Verify with us directly at 6292 3086 or [email protected].
- Report the email as phishing in your email app, and report it to ScamShield at 1799 or scamshield.gov.sg.
- If you have already made a payment, contact your bank immediately and lodge a police report at police.gov.sg/i-witness.
We have reported this matter to the Singapore Police Force and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore. Thank you for your vigilance, and we apologise for any inconvenience.
