- Bad actors mimic GoGet’s website, aiming to phish for sensitive information

According to the startup, these individuals have created several phishing websites that closely mimic its official site, engaging in fraudulent activities aimed at phishing for sensitive information.
The first incident came to light when a concerned individual, a potential victim of the scam, reached out to GoGet on January 10, 2024, through the help and support channel to verify the authenticity of the communications they were receiving.
The first fraudulent website, identified as goget.network, misused the GoGet company’s name and is actively reaching out to individuals via WhatsApp and potentially many other communication tools, presenting itself as “GoGet, an HR company from Malaysia currently promoting jobs in Singapore.” The perpetrators claim to be recruiting agents to assist members in job distribution.
