Singapore's Ministry of Manpower has put out an advisory, cautioning the public to only use www.mom.gov.sg for all MOM-related information and transactions.
A fake MOM website has been identified as phishing for personal information and data – http://singaporevisastatus.com.
Here are some tips on how to identify such fake websites:
1. Fake websites may try to look official and mimic the official MOM website
The following are examples of some fake websites that MOM found:

2. Fake websites have similar but different URLs
Official MOM websites and eServices’ URLs will always contain “.mom.gov.sg”. For example:
- “http://www.mom.gov.sg”
- “https://services.mom.gov.sg”
- “https://wponline.mom.gov.sg”
- “http://www.mom-sg.org”
- “http://mom-gov.com”
- “http://ministryofmanpower.net”
- “http://wponlinemomgov.sg.com”
"We will continue to monitor for such fake websites and work to bring them down, and also work to keep the official MOM website unaffected and your data safe," said a statement by MOM.
