Announcement: ⚠️Fraud Alert of Unauthorised Door-to-door Solicitation

Please note that SAS does not solicit door-to-door donations.

It has come to our attention that there have been cases of someone claiming to be a volunteer or staff representing SAS to fundraise door-to-door. Last reported case at Fernvale Link. We would like to clarify that SAS does not and have not engaged in any door-to-door collections or street collections. Any individual or group claiming to do so are not affiliated with us.

If you are approached by any individual or group claiming to be raising funds for a charitable purpose, you can seek verification of the fundraiser’s identity and the authenticity of the fundraising project by requesting to examine these documents.

Beware of Fundraising Scams and Be an Informed Giver

We urge members of the public to check these documents before making a donation.
The following methods will verify if their permits are valid:

1. SMS Verification Service by Charities Unit, MCCY
   SMS “FR<space><licence/certificate number or organisation name>” to 79777.
   (For example, “FR 2011003000″, “FR L/HH/001111/2011″ or “FR Charity limited”.)
   The facility will then send you a SMS reply indicating whether the organisation has a valid licence or certificate.

2. Scan QR Code
   Scan the code that is located on the Collector’s Certificate of Authority (CCA) document with your smartphone. The NCSS Approval No. can be found on the CCA that all collectors are obliged to carry with them. Please click this link for a sample CCA and where to find the NCSS Approval No.

Reporting the Matter to SAS

If in doubt, please take down their particulars such as their names, their schools/company (if applicable), location where you were approached, physical Appearance, and contact us via email at enquiry@societyagedsick.org.sg or Tel: 6922 6222 between 9am – 6pm from Mondays to Fridays (excluding public holidays).

Besides the ongoing appeal for donations via our website, all fundraising activities conducted by SAS and affiliated third parties are published on giving.sg and give.asia.

On behalf of our beneficiaries, we would like to thank all of you for your continuous support and generosity.
