00:00 60% of the tax scams were reduced since the implementation of the SIM Card Registration Act under the DICT.
00:07 But some scammers are still looking for other ways to get Kleysel Pardilla to pay for the details.
00:15 It was reduced, but Nono still receives tax scams.
00:23 Sometimes you get fooled, for example, you won 8,000 pesos, you'll go to the GCH if you play like that.
00:30 But of course, you know why they send you there.
00:33 If you're not alert, you'll be like, "It's true because I know you, I know your name."
00:39 According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology,
00:44 60% of the spread of tax scams or messages sent to get money
00:51 is traced and caught by the people behind it through the SIM Card Registration Act.
00:57 The National Telecommunications Commission blocked tax scams on telecoms
01:03 and deactivated SIM cards used for fraud.
01:08 But scammers are now becoming a way to avoid using SIM cards.
01:14 Scammers are now claiming business accounts and sending messages using online messaging applications.
01:22 If someone sends you a message and you click on it,
01:25 you'll think twice, not three times,
01:28 if you're in a hurry to make a decision, it's a scam.
01:33 You have something that you haven't paid for in the Bureau of Customs.
01:36 People are also being forced to connect their e-wallets to online applications and other websites.
01:44 There are a lot of reports that we need to be careful about.
01:47 The app-based, the interconnection of e-wallets,
01:51 like GCash, Paymaya, and other e-wallets,
01:55 with apps that you don't trust.
01:57 If you log in, you're asked, you'll pay,
02:00 and then you'll put your e-wallet, GCash or Paymaya.
02:04 What you don't know is that it's already saved and it's auto-debited.
02:08 You're also auto-debiting it.
02:10 Chu Chay is a victim of this modus operandi.
02:14 She only used the online casino once.
02:17 But she was shocked when her e-wallet was reduced by a month.
02:22 Of course, I was shocked.
02:23 First of all, why did I lose money? I don't use it.
02:27 Second, I'm busy. Why is there a reduction?
02:31 That's the only bad thing about e-wallets.
02:33 There are unauthorized reductions.
02:35 Instead of buying other things, why did I lose money?
02:40 DICT will request to remove automatic payment
02:44 or direct access to applications or websites in e-wallets.
02:49 Meanwhile, DICT made a commitment signing
02:52 with TikTok, YouTube, Google, and Meta
02:55 to strengthen cybersecurity
02:57 and protect those using online platforms.
