00:00 Are you still receiving text scams even though the deadline for registering your SIM is over?
00:07 The DICT admitted that it still exists but it has been reduced.
00:11 Katrina Son has a report.
00:13 Click here, click there.
00:17 That's what Jennica Solis used to say to those who receive messages and links.
00:22 And with every click of the link...
00:24 I received a lot of messages like that.
00:27 And if you click that link, you will receive money or you will be asked for money from those scams.
00:36 She was scammed several times.
00:39 Let's not trust the text messages we receive because they are scams.
00:44 The other person we talked to who received this kind of message said that she learned it.
00:50 I just delete it. I delete everything. I don't click it.
00:56 I just don't open it. I just delete it.
01:00 The more troublesome thing is that the SIM registration deadline is over.
01:04 The Department of Information and Communications Technology said that the day of text scammers is over.
01:11 But a few weeks have passed and many people are still receiving text scams.
01:17 Although we don't have the statistics yet, but if you look at anecdotal data,
01:22 it has significantly reduced now. But we have to admit that there are still people receiving scam texts.
01:30 So what the SIM card registration does is that it actually allows law enforcement or aids law enforcement
01:38 in tracking down these operations, scamming operations.
01:43 PHE.gov is another project that is being formed against scammers and DICT.
01:49 A super app where you can report the texts that you receive.
01:54 DICT admitted that it will take a long time and that there is no magic formula against scams while the super app is not yet available.
02:02 This is a worldwide problem. This is probably for our countrymen.
02:05 We have a message, we have a bird, a twitter.
02:09 Remember that when you receive a scam, your best response is to block, to ignore, to report, and then to delete.
