Scam Advisory notice from the President's Challenge.

Last updated 16 August 2025

Be vigilant against scams

President's Challenge will communicate with you via official channels such as e-mails, newsletters, and the President’s Challenge website. Any donations will be conducted via the donation page on the President's Challenge website.

President’s Challenge will NEVER ask you to transfer money, to provide credit card information, disclose details of bank accounts, or One-Time Passwords (OTP) via SMS, messaging apps or via phone call.

You are advised not to automatically trust anyone who can share your personal details such as identity card number. Be on your guard against callers who ask you to install mobile apps.

If you received an SMS from the government, check that it’s gov.sg.

From 1 Jul 2024, government SMSes will be sent from a single Sender ID: gov.sg.

Visit sms.gov.sg for more information.
