Online Scams in Batam

Fake Tour Package Online

Fraudulent websites and WhatsApp contacts offer Batam day-trip packages targeting Singapore tourists, collecting payment for ferry tickets, resort access, and activities that do not match what is received or never materialize. Victims often only discover the fraud at the Batam ferry terminal when the promised guide or transport does not appear. The packages are typically advertised on Singapore-facing social media channels at prices slightly below legitimate operators.
