00:00My fellow countrymen, scam alert. Scammers are spreading online and in their text messages, their modes are different, even us.

00:13We have stories about that. How can we avoid that?

00:18We are here with Police Lieutenant Walen May Arancilio, Public Information Officer of PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group.

00:26Oh my!

00:27Good morning and welcome to Unang Hirit.

00:30Good morning, ma'am. Good morning, sir. And good morning to all of our viewers.

00:35Lieutenant, various scams are still spreading even though we are registered.

00:42Yes.

00:43I myself experienced it recently. My story happened very fast.

00:48I was surprised that many people called me.

00:51One by one, Anjo called me, Martin Del Rosario called me.

00:55Then they said, Mars, you need money. You are in debt.

01:00I said, huh? No, why? Because someone messaged me that I am in debt.

01:05You are pretending to be you.

01:07They said, you booked in Japan.

01:09I booked in Japan but they did not accept my card.

01:14So, I need it urgently and I am in a hurry.

01:16Then they called me but I did not answer.

01:18Fortunately, my friends are very smart.

01:21They confirmed everything to me, even Paul Salasit.

01:26My manager also watched it.

01:28And Baha, my fiancé, he also tried to scam me.

01:32How did that happen?

01:34If you know someone who is not in debt, it is easy to check it.

01:39Lieutenant, it is often used to identify artists, not just Shira.

01:44Many people have experienced it.

01:47In a situation, what should be done immediately?

01:50Usually, this happens when we accidentally click on links that we thought were legit.

01:59This happens, there are cybercriminals now that use MC catcher

02:05or International Mobile Subscriber Identity Catcher.

02:10This is the device that is used as a middleman attack.

02:14That is, there is a legit source, that message,

02:18then this device catches it and they exchange the contents of that message.

02:24So, when the subscriber receives these messages and we click,

02:30we are redirected to their cloned website or cloned websites that are impersonated.

02:39Is this random or do people really choose personalities?

02:43What they do is random.

02:45It's like they are inputting a series of numbers here in the text blaster machine.

02:50And if our number is entered there, we will automatically receive these messages.

02:56The second is illegally access.

02:59This is what happened to Shira.

03:02Her account was illegally accessed.

03:05If this is a messaging app, we can get her information or her photos,

03:11we can grinab and use her identity.

03:14Maybe if the message is asking for money, people will have doubts, right?

03:17Exactly, sir.

03:18That is one red flag.

03:20The first red flag is the one with a sense of urgency, the one asking for money.

03:24Especially, we need to verify first with the person we are talking to.

03:30Don't ask money from Shira.

03:32She doesn't have money now, she's saving.

03:34Okay.

03:35I also receive suspicious messages.

03:40One of the things I experienced, I was surprised,

03:43they used the official Telco.

03:55They said I have reward points and I can claim a prize.

04:01The problem is, because it's legit.

04:04I looked at it.

04:05When we were doing transactions, when we were exchanging Telco,

04:11I said, it's legitimate because it's official.

04:14They gave a link.

04:16I went to that link.

04:18They asked me to choose a product.

04:20I chose a good one because it reached my points.

04:22Then, there's another link that you go to.

04:25This is it.

04:26It's a mode of payment.

04:28Credit card.

04:29They're asking for OTP.

04:32I said, if this reward is free,

04:35the reward points are free,

04:36why are they asking for a mode of payment?

04:39So, I called my Telco.

04:41This is the mode.

04:44They will use the official website.

04:46So, what do you call that?

04:49Spoofing scam.

04:51Spoofing scam.

04:52What do we remember from that mode?

04:54Because you believe in the beginning, right?

04:56Yes.

04:57These are the messages that are sent to the legitimate friend of the payment service provider,

05:04or a wallet,

05:05or a bank,

05:06or any Telco company.

05:08So, let's remember that if we see links,

05:11the Telco or payment service provider or any legit sites will not send a link.

05:18They will not send a link through text messages or even through their email.

05:25Let's remember this link.

05:27For example, unanghirit.com.

05:31If you see unanghirit- or gma.com,

05:37let's doubt it since we can see on the website of Unanghirit the legit link.

05:45So, if there's an additional one letter or one symbol there,

05:50let's doubt it.

05:52What are the other modes that scammers use that we should watch out for?

05:57In relation to text scams,

06:01the first one is illegal access or hacking.

06:05If we click on the links,

06:08our personal and financial information can be taken.

06:14So, let's avoid that.

06:16Although, here we can also see the text scams.

06:21This is the scam that comes from games or bonuses.

06:27Yes, from electronic games.

06:29If you can see, there are bonuses here.

06:32You are being hacked, right?

06:33Yes.

06:34They are giving us a link.

06:36So, let's not just believe in these kinds of links.

06:41Since when we click on this,

06:43we can click on the notification that allows this website or app to access your contact list.

06:50And automatically, they will get your contact list.

06:53And here, if we can see, it's a task cam through text message.

06:59We are given a job.

07:03This is what they give, offers that are too good to be true.

07:07There are 3,000 to 9,000 per day.

07:10Per day.

07:11What they send will be very enticing.

07:15And they also put the legit names of the malls.

07:19Yes.

07:20And also, they also say that there is no need for the experience for them to get you.

07:29That's why we should really be blessed here.

07:33You are just being hacked, right?

07:34Yes.

07:35And this one, if we can see,

07:37even if this is the company's legit name or let's say, GMA,

07:42these are the doubts.

07:44They are adding things to that link.

07:49That's why we shouldn't just click on the links.

07:56And also, we are being invited here because as you said,

08:00there are points that can be redeemed.

08:02So if you can see, there is a link here.

08:05And we are really doubting.

08:07So let's not, let us always think before we click

08:12so that we can avoid being victimized by a scam.

08:15Okay.

08:16Thank you very much, Police Lieutenant Wallenmay Arancilio of PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group.

08:22We still have a lot to tell you.

08:24Yes.
