MANILA — Senator Koko Pimentel warned the public against holiday scams and urged Filipinos to remain vigilant.
He emphasized the importance of following the National Telecommunications Commission’s (NTC) advisory.
“Mag-ingat po tayo ngayong kapaskuhan,” he said. “Maraming scammer ang naghahanap ng pagkakataon para manloko.”
The Senator highlighted the NTC’s advice to avoid clicking links embedded in suspicious text messages.
He stressed the ease with which these scams can compromise personal information and financial security.
“Huwag po tayong magpapadala sa mga mensaheng hindi natin kilala ang pinagmulan,” Pimentel cautioned.
“Bago kayo mag-click, siguraduhin ninyong lehitimo ang pinagmulan ng mensahe,” he added.
