About the Entrepreneur 100 Award

Advisory: Unsolicited "Business Award" Participations and Nominations via WhatsApp - Verify Source of Communications

We have received reports from member companies and past award winners informing that they have fallen victim to the growing number of marketing packages disguised as "Business Awards". These schemes are aggressively marketed to Singapore businesses, and typically operate by sending unsolicited WhatsApp messages, cold calls or emails claiming that the business has been "nominated" or "selected" for an award, after which payment is demanded for trophies, plaques, gala dinners, marketing and/or sponsorship packages.

These entities have no affiliation with ATC, the Entrepreneur 100 Award or any of ATC's Business Standards programmes.

ATC does not cold-solicit businesses for award participation and any correspondence from ATC are via our official domain @atc.sg or official WhatsApp accounts. ATC's WhatsApp accounts are used only after a verified relationship has been established and only for notices, automated status updates and administrative transactions to existing applicants and members. If your first-ever contact from "ATC" is a WhatsApp message informing that you have been "nominated" or "selected" to participate and pay for an award, it is not from us.

If you are unsure of the source of communications:

  • Do not respond, make payment or share any personal, business or financial information with the sender, unless verified.
  • Do not click on links embedded in suspicious WhatsApp messages or emails.
  • Verify directly with us by calling +65 6304 3145 or emailing members@atc.sg before taking any further action.
  • Report the incident to the Singapore Police Force via the ScamShield helpline 1799 or at www.scamshield.gov.sg
  • File an official report with us

Important Note: ATC only administers the Entrepreneur 100 Award and the other segments officially listed under ATC's Business Standards. Any other programmes not listed on our official website is not endorsed by, affiliated with or recognised by ATC.
