7-Eleven SG warns of job scam involving fake offer letters

7-Eleven Singapore has issued a warning over an ongoing job scam involving scammers impersonating the convenience store brand and sending fake job offer letters to members of the public.

In a statement posted on its social media channels, 7-Eleven said it is aware of the scam and is currently investigating the matter. The brand urged consumers to remain vigilant and avoid engaging with job offers that do not come through its official recruitment channels.

“Please be vigilant and do not fall for job scams falsely claiming to be from 7-Eleven Singapore,” it said in a social media post.

According to 7-Eleven, legitimate career opportunities will only be posted on official job portals including JobStreet, FastJobs and MyCareersFuture. It added that its recruitment team's official social media handle across Facebook, Instagram and Telegram is @DFIRetailGroupSGCareers.

The company encouraged members of the public to report suspicious communications that do not originate from its official channels. Those who believe they may have fallen victim to the scam were advised to make a police report immediately.

The warning comes as online channels continue to play a significant role in Singapore's scam landscape. In August, the Singapore Police Force's (SPF) "Mid-year scam and cybercrime brief" found that 89% of scam cases in the first half of 2026 involved an online platform as the first point of contact. Messaging platforms accounted for 27.6% of approaches, followed by social media at 26.7% and online shopping platforms at 11.2%.

Meanwhile, eCommerce scams emerged as the most reported scam type during the period, despite an overall improvement in Singapore's scam situation. Reported cases rose 19.3% year-on-year to 3,865 between January and June, while losses increased 18.9% to about SG$8.3 million, from SG$7 million during the same period in 2025.
