BEWARE OF SCAMMERS posing as Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman.
The DBM on Thursday alerted the public against transacting with individuals or groups using unverified email addresses following its discovery of a fake email address amenahfpangandaman@gmail.com posing as Pangandaman.
“Secretary Pangandaman will never use an unsecure and unverified email address to contact anyone for anything,” the DBM stressed in a statement.
It added that it has also called on authorities “to conduct a thorough investigation into illegal activities.”
“We shall exert all efforts, within the fullest extent of the law, to identify, apprehend, and file the appropriate charges against these deceitful individuals and groups,” the DBM further said.
It also advised the public to be more vigilant and discerning, and to report cases using the name of the DBM, its Secretary, or any other official to (02) 8657-3300. (ai/mnm)
