00:00My fellow countrymen, don't just believe the text messages you receive, especially if they say you have a case and you will be arrested.

00:11Scam, according to the police. Here is my exclusive report.

00:19Have you received such a text message that says you have a case and you will be arrested?

00:27A warrant and subpoena have been mentioned in the PNP.

00:33It is also said that a sheriff will be with you to check your property.

00:38You can also surrender to avoid trouble in your area.

00:42At the end of the message, the name and rank of an official of the PNP is written.

00:48According to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, all of this is crazy.

00:52This is the warrant of arrest scam.

00:54Those who receive this, they are afraid and give a contact number.

00:59When you talk to them, they will ask you for money so that you will not receive a warrant of arrest.

01:05Or they will give you a bail so that you will not be arrested.

01:09So that is their mode.

01:11There are different versions of the messages.

01:13But the similarity is the fear of being arrested.

01:17This one text message came from the prosecutor.

01:21In order to avoid arrest, he called the number he gave for the arraignment.

01:26The PNP explained that the grammar is wrong.

01:30It is also noteworthy that the information in the scam messages is not accurate.

01:35Even the use of the name and rank of the officer,

01:40PSSUPT, Police Senior Superintendent,

01:44which is not used for a long time.

01:48The way they construct the message, it is not credible anymore.

01:52Usually, these text messages come from social messaging apps.

01:57WhatsApp, Viber, and encrypted.

02:02What does it mean?

02:04With the use of the internet, you can hide your identity there.

02:23Ignore it.

02:25The first thing to do if you have a fear that you might be arrested,

02:29go to the court.

02:31That is what we should remind the public.

02:34We do not have court orders, warrant of arrest,

02:38or any other court orders that will come through text messages.

02:42It is sent by the court.

02:45And they have liaison officers who will do that.

02:48For GMA Integrated News, I'm Emil Subangil.

02:51Tune in for 24 hours.
