00:00 The government is planning to fight the spreading of text messages about the Kunwari traffic violation that you need to pay for or a package that you need to get from Philpost.
00:11 Don't click the link that was sent to your cell phone because that is a scam.
00:16 Here's the first news, Darling Kai.
00:22 Are you also one of those who received a text that you have a package that Philpost cannot deliver? Or you receive money from the SSS? Or the traffic violation that you need to pay for?
00:34 Phishing SMS or text scams are those. If you click the link or answer, you can get your important information or your money.
00:44 In bad luck, Lucy is already a victim of a scam. She has been victimized by text scams 10 times.
00:51 I was disappointed. I said, "What is this? Why is it always like this?" I said, "Why do all people choose me?"
01:02 She usually receives messages that she won cash. Sometimes, she said she won 1 million pesos.
01:10 Sometimes, I'm not happy with 1 million pesos. But in the next few minutes, I feel like I'm going to ask for money.
01:20 I replied right away. I said, "This is my name, address, and information on what else they are asking for."
01:31 She received 45,000 pesos from the scammer. But in other text messages about the package, she was fooled again.
01:39 She's good at talking. That's why I believe her because my every day is true.
01:45 Margaret receives suspicious text messages almost every day. But because she heard about the spreading scam, she doesn't believe it anymore.
01:55 It's automatic block. I don't notice it anymore because I know I'm not a parcel or I'm not. It's also obvious in the text that it's a scam.
02:07 The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group said that scammers are using the government agency to send messages.
02:14 They're being spoiled because the government is in the governance of the government.
02:23 Just like the Philpo, they're copying the face of the Philpo.
02:27 Don't click the links that are in the text messages. If the link is clicked and the credit card number is input, your password and other important information is being taken.
02:38 Philpo, MMD, and LTO are also worried about these spreading messages. They don't send notices through text messages.
02:48 The SIM Registration Act was passed to prevent text and online scams. But why are we still receiving these kinds of messages?
02:58 In our part, in the PNP ACG, we think that the criminal will always think of ways to hide even if there's a law.
03:08 We will find a way. We know that there's a gadget that can hide the numbers.
03:16 For example, our data is very famous. It can hide the numbers of the people who are in the lower ranks.
03:23 GMA Integrated News is also trying to get hold of the NTC and DICT.
03:28 The government is coordinating with telecommunication companies to block the numbers that send spam or phishing messages.
03:36 It's also good to practice the "Bird of Block, Ignore, Report, and Delete" in case suspicious messages are received and reported to law enforcement agencies.
03:47 This is the first news. Darlene Cai for GMA Integrated News.
