The Department of Trade and Industry is warning the public on a new wave of scams being done through text messages. The trade department denies sending text messages relating to any commercial promotion.
The DTI issues the advisory to warn the public against the circulation of messages through text messages relative to SIM numbers winning prizes from GLOBAL REMITTANCE of OFW/BSP. Such messages also advise the public to call a number claiming to be that of DTI Secretary RAMON M. LOPEZ.
The public is advised that such messages are part of a scam. The recipients of such messages are advised to ignore the message, block the number, and file a complaint with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) through its website and to alert them about such SMS scam.
