Flier with QR code to redeem free blood pressure device not a scam: AIA Singapore

According to the website linked to the QR code, an AIA financial services consultant will provide a financial sharing session to those who sign up to redeem the device.

A photo of the flier made its rounds on social media and the Hardware Zone forum on Tuesday, with many netizens believing it was a scam.

Users of the forum urged others not to scan the QR code, fearing it could contain malware.

The Straits Times noticed the flier contained grammatical and punctuation errors, which are often telltale signs of scam messages.

AIA Singapore told ST it had engaged a vendor, We Care For SG, to conduct marketing activities with its authorised insurance representatives.

The AIA spokesman said: "Our customers can be assured that this is not a scam and that integrity is at the core of AIA's business. All representatives of AIA Singapore are also held to the highest professional standards."
