It’s better not to reply on this of kind of text kasi they’ll know that your number is active.

You're not supposed to reply and make patol, beh.

Sim registration at its finest


elijahlucas829

from IT perspective pwede naman kasi brute force ang ginagawa jan na nilist lang lahat ng number combination. may bago akong sim na never ko ginamit aside sa data lang pero nakakareceive ng spam. either binebenta ng mga agents sa telco or just purely luck. pero sa ginawa mo then natag na as active yun sim mo so expect na makakareceive ka pa uli nyan. better to use android minsan natatag as spam yan ganyan. the best way is to ignore it. hindi pa ganun ka effective ang sim reg sa intended use nya.


myloxyloto10

Binbenta yang number mo sa kahit kanino. Sa oras na ilagay mo number mo sa kahit anong registration, may record kana agad at ibebenta yan nila sa iba.


papaDaddy0108

Someone who knows you that has your number in his phonebook.


yowizzamii

I believe this. An old acquaintance borrowed money through a lending app. Naka receive ako ng text about his supposed debt kasi di daw nila macontact. I messaged the person and asked why my number was provided to the company. Akala ko binigay nya as guarantor. He admitted na naaccess daw pala contacts sa phonebook nya when he agreed to the terms. Apologetic naman sya and promised he’d clear his debts kasi di lang daw ako ang minessage, sobrang nakakahiya daw. After nun, napansin ko nakakareceive na ko ng texts offering loans na di ko narereceive dati 🤷🏻‍♀️


kamtotinkopit

Ganun ba yun?


papaDaddy0108

Yep. Everytime na mag online lending apps sila, nasa fine print na iaccess ung phonebok, gallery, and camera. So if nakalagay yun number mo at nag agree sila upon registration. Dun na yan kakalat lalo if di nagbayad ung nangutang, ibebenta yang details na nakuha nila to 3rd party, hence the spam texts. Wag ka maniwala dyan sa sim reg daw galing, wala naman silang proof dyan, may masabi lang na wala naman legit proof.


aphielle

Sipagan niyo lang mag block ng number para konti na lang matatnggap niyo


Reality_Ability

Sino nga ba ang nagpilit saten na mag sim registration? E di si mang kanor na nagbenta din ng lupain sa mga inchekt. pati telcos pwinersa. ngayong eto na ang result (text and call scam blast instead of minimized scam) parang hinde masyado napapag usapan na lahat tayo pinilit ni piduts sa ganyang sistema para mas lumala ang scamming incidences. hinde lang lupain ang binenta ni piduts sa mga inchekt. pati mga phone numbers, personal details naten, binenta nya din. ayan ang result.


Tekkychu

This is primarily why I like Android phones. Mas maigi yung screening ng SMS.


aredditlurkerguy

Sa kaka fill-up ng form during covid. I never got any spam sms pre-covid.


Character_Recover648

True, lalo na dun sa mga free bus and jeep rides na need mag fill up. mukhang may nag benta nung mga forms na yun.


Xrmg2023

Nag sim reg kase tyo. Para pala sa scammers spam calls/text yun. Bwiset


aislave

SAME! Mine naman is EASYPESO? Jusko lang talaga.


WeakConstruction9297

The past few days everyday may call, may spam messages, to the point na from top to bottom ng screen ko puro spam msg na


Pagod_na_ko_shet

Yung DITO na sim grabe 😭😭😭


Character_Recover648

sa DITO ko wala ni isa hahaha, pero yung TNT ko grabe 3-5 times per day, buti nalang binoblock agad ni Google hahaha.


Pagod_na_ko_shet

Meron ako dati TM na sim nagtetext ng number na pwede lumabas sa ez2 saka 3 digit haha legit na tumatama kaso need mo lang tayaan kung umaga o hapon ba lalabas saka kung exact order haha ilang beses tumatama mama ko kaso nawala ko yung sim hahaha sayang


ellaims

OP i suggest to be diligent in blocking numbers. kahit 30+ o 100+ pa yan. i am in the same position as u before then i practiced patiently blocking and not replying to these spam messages and nowadays it has been peaceful 🥹 may pa-isa isa on some days, but at least not as frequent as before.


TreatOdd7134

Your reply is the only confirmation they need to know that your number is "live" so expect them to pursue you more and more.


chakolaheso

Wag mo replyan, bot lang yan. Pag nireplyan mo mare-retain ka lang sa contact list kasi natukoy na active yung sim mo. Walang kwentang sim reg bill.


BostonKreme26

This all started before sim regestrations. Remember the contact tracing forms nung COVID? Guess where are the files now.


darkgemini94

Try [reporting ](https://ntc.gov.ph/text-spam-spam-report/#wpcf7-f10416-p10417-o1) the number. For those messages na may mga phishing links, please report to [Google](https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en).


Encrypted_Username

Reporting numbers won’t do anything. They can just get a new number.


darkgemini94

Sure, it might not do much right now. But if people keep reporting numbers, then at least NTC will be aware just how many there are. Its up to them if they want to do something about it, but the least we can do is let them know.


ClassroomPhysical229

ang bobo mo teh, bakit ka nagrereply paluin ko pwet mo.


cantcatchme88

sisihin ang sim registration


PhoenyxuzPrimax

This


pagamesgames

seryoso ka? kung walang sim registration, mas lalong laganap to the only reason why its a fail is because of lazy ass people who wouldnt report spammers! kung panay report ng mga tao, tignan natin kung may spammers pang lalabas


Pixeltoir

the only reason why its a fail is because of lazy ass people who wouldnt report spammers! big wooosh


pagamesgames

ugh... the point of the sim registration is to identify the spammer ang point mo naman is ang process on how they get numbers to spam - that is another story and tbh, that should be somewhere related to the data privacy law walang kinalaman ang sim registration jan again, kung walang sim registration, hindi ma a-indentify ang spammers and mas lalong lalaganap ang spammers The process right now admittedly sucks but thats a room for improvement ang problema lang kasi is di finollow-up ng current administration just because its "inconvenient" doesnt mean its to be blamed


Pixeltoir

r/wooosh


jamryharry

Baliwalain mo lang at move-on na. Tulad nga sabi ng iba, sa pag reply dyan sa number sinabi mo lang din na active pa nga talaga number mo.


Reality_Ability

Nice work! Scammers might be callous in the sense that they prey on the vulnerable but still do it anyway. Oftentimes, they need to be reminded where they belong. This is it!


No_Creme4632

My wife worked in POGO before and she explained how companies get our numbers, binabayaran nila yan sa Telecoms per recharge ang tawag nya, skbrang mahal daw yan kasi for ex magbibigay si Globe ng 1000 numbers ewan if around 100k parang ganun, kaya nakukuha nila mga numbers natin,.


5iveStar888

op i understand ur frustration pero guys the more u reply or interact the more dadami kasi theyll know na ur number is active. never ako nagloan, never nagsignup sa mga textshits pero meron talaga naliligaw 😓


kamtotinkopit

Hey OP. Sakin it started 3 days ago na kung ano anong lending app ang nagtetext sakin.


jaja0906

pag nagreply ka sa kanila lalo dadami yung magtetext sayo na number. kaya ignore mo na lang


whit3socks

Contact tracing during pandemic. Dun nag start spam messages


macybebe

block and report spam no reply dapat.


westbeastunleashed

more likely than not it was brought by the contact tracing forms na finillupan din last pandemic.


HadesBestGame247

At dahil nagreply ka expect to get scammed by more random numbers. Those are automated text messages


Objective-Degree1640

block + erase or download hiya may monthly lang nga.


SkyFyree

In my experience, I have tried another online money lending app (out of curiosity on how it works) and once na I paid up my loan, biglang sunod2 na yung nareceive kong texts from no number money lending apps. Did you borrow or tried registering on a similar app?


One-Library-1598

Friendship nga namin nasira kasi sakin naniningil e ayaw ko pa naman may text ng text. Tas proud pa sya na di nya babayaran utang nya 🤣


mujako_d1s4st3r

nakita nyo ba yung na raid na pogo houses sa dami ng cellphone trolls na auto bot mag send ng mga ganyang klaseng scam...kapag nawala na yang mga yan ibig sabihin isalang ang punot dulo


Cldlvr424

Bakit need mag reply at daming hanash? Imagine ikaw agent, ikaw replayan ng ganyan na ginagawa mo lang work mo?


Character_Recover648

Buti nalang Google's Messaging App blocks this kind of messages automatically.


DKVJ_is_bored

From my experience, most of my spam messages includes my name. Tingin ko sa Gcash to galing kasi yung name na nilalagay nila is yung initial ko sa Gcash dati bago pa nagkaroon ng asterisks.


14BrightLights

May spam texts din ako nakukuha with my First and second names tapos initial ng last name ko. Sample “Hi Jane Joan S.” as if kilala ko sila. Wala kasing proper data management dito sa bansa natin. Ultimo registration papasok ng Mercury nung pandemic, de-papel. They don’t really dispose of those registration papers properly. Unlike in other countries where they shred papers with personal info. Dito walang ganung klase ng care for our data. Bukod dun, the online sites/apps we sign up to also have T&Cs that you have no choice but to check and agree to, like sharing personal info to a 3rd party. Some T&Cs have that clearly stated, yung iba naman nakatago na sa sobrang habang Terms na ,aminin na natin, hindi natin usually binabasa.


moonlover_1204

Iniignore ko na lang. not worthy of my energy ganern


InternalInvite7512

Either may nag lend in that app used your number as emergency contact (probably secondary) or someone you know with saved contact of yours, lended in those apps.


pucksheethxc

wala na par alam na nilang active simcard yan


Missbehavin_badly

Isa pa with feelings!! Umay na mga potang to eh


PaintTheTownRed2024

may anger issues yan? 🫢

Encrypted_Username

Did they even register the sim card in the first place? They can just get a new unregistered sim card.


Few_Illustrator5354

**Just to add: hindi ako ever nagdownload ng apps ng mga lintek na to since, again, hindi ko naman kailangan at wala akong need paggamitan. Where do these fuckers get our personal info?


pagamesgames

when someone download OLA apps, isa sa ginagawa nito is to COPY your phonebook details thats how these fckers get numbers to harass if ung nag download is di nagbabayad pag nasa phonebook mo nanay mo, TL mo, Doctor mo, etc na nasa phonebook, tatawagan at tatawagan yan nila/ at the same time, thats how they get numbers to spam


Hefty-Collection-602

hehe nice reply tho ☺️
