At least eight victims have fallen for a phishing scam involving a fake local motoring website in September, the police said on Sept 17.

The victims lost at least $28,000 in total after they were led to the fake website where they keyed in their personal details.

They received e-mails from a sender pretending to be OneMotoring by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), informing them that their vehicles’ road tax or road licence was expiring, the police said.
