Avoid VEP Scams: What to Watch Out for Online

🚨 Common VEP Scams Affecting Singaporean Drivers

• Fake RFID Tags: Scammers sell inactive or expired RFID claiming it’s “pre-registered.” These will not work at the border and may cause your car to be blacklisted.
• Non-Legit VEP Agents: Individuals offering “instant approvals,” ghosting after collecting your details or payment, or charging hidden fees for backdoor services.
• Duplicate Sticker Offers: Anyone offering duplicate VEP stickers or “one tag for multiple cars” is scamming you. This is illegal and easily traceable at the checkpoint.
• Fake Portals & Phishing: Watch for websites imitating the official JPJ VEP portal — their only purpose is to steal your details or money.

🧠 How to Tell If It’s a Scam

• Promises of “same-day approval” or JPJ backdoor bypasses
• Agents using only Gmail or WhatsApp (no official email/site)
• Requests to pay to personal bank accounts
• Offers to buy multiple stickers or “VIP upgrades”

If you notice any of these — walk away.
