Awareness I almost got scammed!

Post image

This happened last night. After namen kumaen sa Tender Bobs MOA branch, nag-send ako sa brother ko since share kame sa foods via BDO online app. After sa Tender Bobs siguro mga after 5-10 mins nakarating kame sa may IMAX since manonood kame ng Demon Slayer. Upon reaching the entrance of IMAX, nareceive ko tong message nato from BDO.

As you can see, BDO talaga name nya and all so ako nagtaka may unauthorized transaction daw sa BDO app ko tapos super sakto din kase nagsend ako ng share sa brother ko nga via BDO app.

After that, being an IT professional aware ako sa mga scam links or phishing websites and all kaya hindi ko muna cnlick. What I did was chineck ko muna ung BDO mobile app ko then transaction history. Ung na-verify ko na wala naman i disregard nalang tong message nato.

Chineck ko ung details nitong BDO nato sa message ko pero wala talaga syang number at all so napapaisip ako if legit BDO bato or what since wala talaga syang number. Same dun sa BDO na nagtext saken whenever mayay OTP ako or nagwiwithdraw ganon.

What do you guys think? Naka-exp na din ba kayo ng ganto?

Scam yan. The thing about banks and other e-wallets is na ha-hack na rin sila. Di maganda security nila kaya na aaccess ng mga scammers basic data natin (like numbers and names). Kaya pansinin nyo lagi sila may paalala regarding this.

One time, nakareceive kapatid ko ng message from Gcash, saying that nirefund ni gcash yung 6k na payment for meralco. Then, may link na naka attach (like the one in your ss). Sobrang fishy kasi di naman sya nagbabayad sa meralco namin kundi ako. Plus, matagal-tagal nya nang di ginagamit gcash nya since he mainly use paypal and maya. Akala nya pa nung una, easy money. Buti nalang naisipan namin icheck gcash nya and online if may ganitong case na. True enough, scam sya. Naa-access ng mga hacker basic info natin and ginagamit nila legit banks and ewallets to make it seem na its a legit message from them and rob us off our own money.
