Phone Text Scams

1. "Maa'm/sir nag-charge po yung line nyo para macancel po ang charges nyo kailangan nyo pong gawin yung instruction text nyo po 300 CANCEL send nyo sa 29261357720. Makalipas ang ilang sandali magreply ng YES sa susunod na mensahe na ibig sabihin cancelled na po ang transaction nyo."

2. "Ma nakitext lang ako. Dito ako hospital nadisgrasya kami! Nawala CP ko. Please paloadan niyo ito Smart # 09395102122 ng 300. May emergency kami tatawagan importante. Please ma pakibilis."

3. "GLOBE ADVISORY: Sir/Ma'am, Due to systems failure yesterday your line has been charge P300 for technical error, to cancel the charges just text 300 CANCEL and send to 29269797342 reply YES on the text message to confirm. GLOBE TELECOM."

4. "2916  You have just received P300 from 09974155335. This load will expire after 75 days. Trans ID: 954501636 12/05/2016 03:55AM." Then, another follow-up reply from the same phone number which says, "Iho/iha nagkamali ata ako ng share a load sa iyo ko ata na ipasa yung 300 na load na para sa aking apo baka pwede mong ibalik ito yong number ng apo ko 09974155334. Gawin mo lang 300 send mo sa 29974155334 replayan mo ng YES ang sunod na mensahe pasensya na sa abala maraming salamat. Pagpalain ka sana.



You can recognize some common elements with these text messages:
  • The message doesn't come from the official GLOBE SYSTEM number. You can determine it's from GLOBE if the sender is GLOBE, GCASH, GLOBEMYBILL (or other related globe trademarks). Globe will not use a particular number such as 09974155334, 09163256948 or other same kind of numbers. Instead of a phone number, the word GLOBE, GCASH, GLOBEMYBILL will appear as your sender and that's a legitimate message. Take note of that if you receive a suspicious message.
  • Scammers will devise different ways to entice you to transfer load or money to them. MONEY, that's the goal and motivation of the scammers.
