PNP at GCash, ibinunyag ang modus ng online investment scams

Naging mas madali na ang pagpapalago ng pera sa pamamagitan ng investments kasabay ng mga bagong online trading platforms. Pero sa kasamaang palad, naging dahilan rin ito sa pagdami ng mga manloloko na nagsasamantala sa mga online investors.

The Void is not synonymous with stagnation; rather, it's a fertile ground for exploration and discovery. By understanding and embracing the Void, creatives can liberate themselves from the constraints of expectation and perfectionism. This liberation becomes a catalyst for fresh ideas, enabling a departure from the ordinary and a journey into uncharted territories of innovation.

Navigating the Void requires a willingness to confront uncertainty and silence the noise of external influences. It's a practice in mindfulness and self-discovery—a journey into the depths of one's own thoughts and emotions. In this solitude, creatives often find the raw materials for groundbreaking concepts, discovering connections and patterns that were previously obscured.

The process of engaging with the Void is not about avoiding challenges but transforming them into opportunities. It encourages a shift in perspective, viewing obstacles not as roadblocks but as stepping stones to innovation. By understanding 'the Void' as a realm of potential, creatives unlock the door to their most authentic and impactful work, revealing the beauty that emerges when the creative spirit is allowed to roam freely. In essence, the Void becomes not an abyss to be feared, but a sanctuary where creativity thrives, and our most brilliant ideas come to life.

PNP at GCash, ibinunyag ang modus ng online investment scams

Naging mas madali na ang pagpapalago ng pera sa pamamagitan ng investments kasabay ng mga bagong online trading platforms. Pero sa kasamaang palad, naging dahilan rin ito sa pagdami ng mga manloloko na nagsasamantala sa mga online investors.

Para pangalagaan ang mga Pilipino na hindi maging biktima ng mga scammer, ang Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) at ang nangungunang mobile wallet sa bansa na GCash ay nagbigay ng ilang guidelines para malaman kung ang online investment offer ay isang scam.

“As the country’s leading fintech super app and financially inclusive investment platform, GCash continues to give Filipinos access to online investment opportunities, but at the same time, we are also working hard to educate and give our users knowledge on how to avoid scams,” sabi ni AJ Sibal, Fraud Management Head ng GCash.

Ang kadalasang palatandaan na ito ay scam, malaking balik ng investment sa loob lang ng maikling panahon.

“Beware of these types of promises as they are too good to be true. For example, they will promise 50% profit in just two weeks. Worse, they seem to be in a hurry for you to send the seed investment money immediately,” babala ni PNP-ACG spokesperson P/Capt. Michelle Sabino.

Isa pang red flag, kung ang offer ay itinatago ang kanilang company information. Bilang isa sa mga key players sa investment landscape via in-app features gaya ng GFunds at GStocks PH, pinapayuhan ng GCash ang mga investors na i-check and List of Public Companies ng Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) para masiguro na lehitimo ito. 

Muling paalala ng GCash sa mga users na huwag ibahagi ang kanilang MPIN o OTP, at iwasang i-click ang kahina-hinalang links mula sa websites, emails, at messaging apps.

Para sa kailangan ng tulong, tawagan ang PNP-ACG sa kanilang hotlines na (02) 8414-1560 at sa 0998-598-8116, o sa email na acg@pnp.gov.ph. Para i-report ang scams at iba pang ilegal na gawain, pwede ring bisitahin ang official GCash Help Center sa help.gcash.com o mag message kay Gigi sa website at i-type ang “I want to report a scam.” Maaari ring tumawag ang customers sa official GCash hotline na 2882 para sa iba pang tanong at concern.
