00:00 Along with the holiday season, online scams are rampant.
00:04 The main target is online shoppers.
00:07 According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology,
00:10 the usual mode of online scammers
00:13 is using non-legitimate websites and online shopping platforms.
00:18 So even if the customer pays,
00:20 the items purchased will not be sent or received correctly.
00:25 The DICT has decided to purchase registered websites
00:30 or social media applications to avoid scammers.
00:35 Meanwhile, the DICT has announced
00:37 that the number of access points they will build across the country
00:42 will be 15,000 for free Wi-Fi.
00:45 As of now, the number of access points
00:49 in various regions including BARMM has reached 13,000.
00:55 We should be vigilant and watchful.
00:58 There are many social media sites now.
01:03 There are links and paid advertisements
01:06 that would lead you to sites like shopping platforms.
