00:00The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, or CICC, is concerned about a new type of text scam.
00:10Among them, it is said that someone is using your credit card and no contact of the MMDA in your traffic violation.
00:21Chino Gaston is on the case.
00:23Do you often receive text messages that are threatening, deceiving, or calling attention to transactions that you did not do?
00:36Be careful in answering or clicking the links here because according to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center,
00:44a possible syndicate is behind this.
00:47One of the trending modes now is that someone is calling or texting that someone is using your credit or debit card.
00:54Because you will be worried and you will be threatened with a high fine, a syndicate may victimize you,
01:01who already has your name, bank or credit card account number, and other personal details.
01:07Advise, since you did not make these purchases, I will send you a code and you send this code to this cell phone number.
01:19You will be caught because those cell phone numbers are unregistered and yet it is receiving data.
01:25You have a number of your account officers, call them immediately before you take action and start talking to strangers.
01:34Not only are the texts being used by bad people, Henry, whose real name is unknown, became a victim of a problem with his digital wallet.
01:42There is an email address that his acquaintances locked on him, claiming that he was able to solve his problem because he's an employee of a digital wallet company.
01:51When they were fixing it, they said, wait sir, the OTP will arrive to you.
01:56When the OTP arrived, I asked him to give it to him. I did not ask him. I only know from the email that his email address is locked on him.
02:05The truth is, he's very good at English. He will not process this if he will not give the FB or digital number, sir.
02:12That's all sir. That's all.
02:16One of the most obvious modes of text messages that came from the MMDA about the violations of the No Contact Apprehension Program or NCAP.
02:25The MMDA clarified that the NCAP was suspended since 2022 and these messages were not from them.
02:32On the part of the individual victim, if he believes that he will be a victim in some amount, of course on the part of the MMDA, we will drag his name.
02:47Definitely, our NCAP is suspended. It is very possible that it will come from the MMDA.
02:54The MMDA asked for the help of the PNP and CICC to catch the group behind the scam text messages.
03:01We are looking at the numbers. Of course, we cannot disclose that.
03:06We will not allow this new mode to proliferate and victimize our countrymen.
03:14According to the CICC, residents should not post pictures of ID, bank accounts, credit cards or billing statements on social media or internet.
03:23If there's a problem with the bank account, talk to the account manager of the bank and do not give details about your digital wallet or bank accounts
03:32to people you don't know. You can send it by telephone or email.
