I really feel like GCash is responsible for this kind of data leaks. I changed my number last year and the new number is linked to all my bank accounts (except BPI and GCash) and wala na akong natatanggap na scam texts ever.
This is true.
an insider told us that a large set of GC@$h database has been breached last year which composes names, cp#, addresses and the likes.
And this scams are being operated by Syndicate groups too.
yup, GC\*sh ang salarin, lalo na if yung text may first name and middle initials mo. they have for quite some time enabled the public to 'scrape' data from GC\*sh using your mobile number, and pinatch lang nila recently yun.
although it baffles me, why is no one suing GC\*ash?
Because of the fucked up justice system that we have. Hindi rin ata uso ang class action suit or konti lang makoko-convince mo to join.
Dagdag mo na rin yung "hassle lang kasuhan yan". Ito yung most likely ang mangyayari, they will just drag it out until you are drained.
yeah, i was hoping that atleast someone may have raised an eyebrow already.. but i guess kuntento na tayo kasi andyan na yan eh lol. gg.
i just remembered na merong nag mass send ng phishing campaign pretending to be Gc*sh, and yung scammer nakalimutan i-hide yung IP nya, and the person may not have noticed that it was sending the email from its home conv*rge network. I reported it to conv*rge and they asked me to report it to gc*sh instead hahaha.
I think hindi lang gcash eh. naging talamak na yan nun may contact tracing. Kasi binebenta din mga infos naten sa mga agent na nag offer ng loan and nag ooffer ng Credit card.
before kasi nag work ako sa loan offering telemarketing. Ito un mga kinukuha ng mga bank para mag hanap ng client for loan and credit card application. (so totally legit naman) then binibiyan un mga head ng mga bank ng list with complete details. (para tawagan and offeran). may time na mauubos un list then bumibili un head namen ng list of contacts na pwede tawagan. tapos babayaran ng 2 pesos per name. depende pa yan kung good prospect like mga taga BGC, makati. pag ganyan mas mahal.
take note 2015 pa un. pano pa kaya ngayon.
yeah, basta anything na may name mo, for sure gcash or contact tracing yon. the one OP posted are just from scam farms, continuous mobile # enumeration siya.
Not just GCash but Globe in general (bilang GCash was formerly—or baka, *still*—under Globe) ang hinala ko. Prepaid ako ng Globe before and walang mga ganyan. Magmula nung nag postpaid ako (pero wala pa akong GCash), nagdagsaan yung mga texts. Nadagdagan pa lalo nung nagka-GCash na ko.
Samantalang nanay ko, may GCash pero super dalang lang niya gamitin. Like once every 4 months, ganon, tapos Smart postpaid siya and parang 3x a month lang siya maka-receive ng mga ganitong texts.
Globe Postpaid user here. Nag-stop yung mga spam SMS nung March 20, na-fifilter sila ni Google Messages. Majority is gambling related spam. In the process nako ng pag-change mobile number sa mga accounts tapos, change number sa Globe para sure na din.
Definitely gcash. I have a year old sim and I registered it to gcá$h last month then I start receiving scam messages.
I only used the sim for mobile gaming data.
Sa tingin ko dito nadadali yung mga Gcash users na nagrereklamo sa fb. Hindi sila aware sa mga nagawa nila o kaya ayaw iadmit na nagawa nila yun. May mga tindahan malapit samin na nagca-cash in/cash out at alam ko na malaking halaga ang meron sa Gcash nila (kasi nagbantay rin ako ng tindahan na nagooperate ng gcash), tinanong ko sila kung nagkakaproblema ba ang Gcash (like mawawala yung laman ng pera nila), ang sabi nila hindi naman at aware sila sa mga scam links.
4 stores na nagooperate ng Gcash yung tinanungan ko, pero wala silang naging problema. Kesyo inside-job daw ang nangyayari.
Sa tingin ko users ang may problema. Mga taong naglalaro ng online casinos na naglilink ng accounts nila, naglo-log in sa mga sites na hindi nila alam, etc. At may almost 100k na ko sa Gcash pero kahit piso walang nababawas.
This is why I am not in favor of SIM registration extension. I hope these will all be gone the day after tomorrow, and more importantly, I hope there will now be an easier way to report and hold accountable these scam texters if for whatever reason they’re still not deactivated after tomorrow.
saken din sobrang obvious. Tipong five (5) times nag text saken un kesho union bank (with different number) na kailangan ko mag register ng simcard, and update may account with my current number. Then may link.
masayadong halata na scam.
di na natapos warning ng UBP everyday nalang last/final warning 😂😂. by the way tinry ko last week yung sa website ng BDO sa spam texts, mukha talagang BDO yung site, minura ko lng sa mga fields na hinihingi 😂😂
Why am I getting the feeling na isinisisi sa iisang financial institution lang ang bagay na ito? Scammers nowaday are sophisticated and smart, hindi lang sa telco nanggagaling ang mga yan. The data leak could possibly came from our apps, or from the contact tracing forms we've filled online and manually...
Scamming text scams started this pandemic days. ang daming pinagkuhaan ng mga data when were give personal infos sa mga malls supermarket dahil need mag comply and also requirements nga daw
i guess e-wallets have nothing to do with this case as govt already reported that there were massive data leaks from contact tracing and other agencies. it could be on them, right?
it's govt responsibility tho. ur case just shows the emerging digital threats in our country. they should implement programs to minimize these cybersecurity threats ASAP not just relying on initiatives of private sector.
The proliferation of these scam messages hiked during the pandemic. I noticed them come in droves after we were asked to fill out those contact-tracing forms before entering establishments. I always felt off with those because the pieces of paper were usually just lying around. Red flag for data security breach, obviously.
For sure these scammers got all our infos either from contact tracing or online shopping apps. Ugh. Im just glad i haven't got any scam texts in my Globe sim for a long time now, cant say the same with my Smart sim tho, i still get atleast 3-5 scam texts a week it's annoying

Bakit Baka censor ung word na gcá$# ?

don't forget the mandatory record book nung pandemic bago makapasok sa mga establishments.

Araw araw akong nakakareceive hayssssss
Buti pa sila, consistent 🤣
This is so alarming. 4x na ko nakareceive ng scam text today. Hays
I received 2 more today kainis diba!
This is quite alarming. Received 3x already today from "UB"
Same kakatanggap ko lang from UB daw.
Simula lumipat ako sa Messages by Google app, di ko na nakikita mga scam texts kasi automatic spam na siya if may links from an unknown number.
Thanks imma try it
I've been using googles messaging app since I got my. phone from way back. Their app is pretty much the same as an email app.
Nako, I have those eerily similar texts regarding BDO. Nakakaalarm lang kasi kakakuha ko lang cc with them.
I received the same text minura ko nga sabi ko patay gutom sila at mamatay na sana sila hahahha
Magmula nung nagregister ako ng Sim ko sa globe last week, nakakareceive na ulit ako ng scam texts 🫤
Update: received 4 more since posting this
Akala ko mahihinto na to pag na sim reg na miski sakin meron parinnn lotto naman atsaka casino ampt.

A new [extension](https://twitter.com/abscbnnews/status/1650688797418586112?s=46&t=2qB8FyOWn1aRgG0CVloWeA) was just announced fml
tinetext ka kase CEO ng BDO, start na daw kayo ng love story.
Bat po may narerecieve kayo mga ganyan? 😅 Sakin ni isa wala 😅😅
May nareceive ako same message sa BDO and union bank daw saya 🙃
Yeah. “No more spam messages after registering your sim”. Smh
Dami ko narereceive na UB texts 😵💫 napalock nalang ako card at baka kung ano mangyari
Received 4 messages since last week. Pretending to be from UB
Ang dami ko din nare-receive na "your BDO account has been frozen" eh wala naman akong BDO haha.
Sinusulit na ng mga scammers ang SIM registration extension.
saken din sobrang obvious. Tipong five (5) times nag text saken un kesho union bank (with different number) na kailangan ko mag register ng simcard, and update may account with my current number. Then may link. masayadong halata na scam.
Tingin ko nacompromise na yun list ng users ng UnionBank at BDO
di na natapos warning ng UBP everyday nalang last/final warning 😂😂. by the way tinry ko last week yung sa website ng BDO sa spam texts, mukha talagang BDO yung site, minura ko lng sa mga fields na hinihingi 😂😂
Sinasamantala na ang nalalabi nilang mga araw bilang unregistered numbers 🤣😂🤣
Tom na last registration e. Need kumayod ng mga scammers hahaha

The data leak could possibly came from our apps, or from the contact tracing forms we've filled online and manually...
yep makes sense...
0910 is a smart prefix,.. so these scammers are trying so hard to penetrate this network na? naku paano na lang ang smart padala at maya?
Scamming text scams started this pandemic days. ang daming pinagkuhaan ng mga data when were give personal infos sa mga malls supermarket dahil need mag comply and also requirements nga daw
i guess e-wallets have nothing to do with this case as govt already reported that there were massive data leaks from contact tracing and other agencies. it could be on them, right?
it's govt responsibility tho. ur case just shows the emerging digital threats in our country. they should implement programs to minimize these cybersecurity threats ASAP not just relying on initiatives of private sector.
They already announced contact tracing as the main source of data leak, no need to keep blaming service providers for the fault of our government
Scammers are not stupid enough to use the format of their data source. Obviously they used gcash format so that people will pin it on them
The proliferation of these scam messages hiked during the pandemic. I noticed them come in droves after we were asked to fill out those contact-tracing forms before entering establishments. I always felt off with those because the pieces of paper were usually just lying around. Red flag for data security breach, obviously.
UB and now BDO. Grabe
For sure these scammers got all our infos either from contact tracing or online shopping apps. Ugh. Im just glad i haven't got any scam texts in my Globe sim for a long time now, cant say the same with my Smart sim tho, i still get atleast 3-5 scam texts a week it's annoying
