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.
08:25We'll be back on Unang Hirit.
