LAOAG CITY, May 14—The Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has issued an advisory to the public regarding
various text scams that continue to persist and proliferate through the use of
mobile phone devices.
According to the BSP, such
recurring text scams declare that the receiver has won in electronic or mobile
number or based on raffle/lottery, allegedly sponsored by the BSP or any of its
official/representative.
To claim the prize money, the
receiver is instructed to deposit a sum of money or send a prepaid load to the
sender’s account.
The BSP once again warns the
public that the BSP does not sponsor or engage in any games
of chance, lottery or raffle of such nature.
The public is reminded to
remain vigilant about these scams and other fraudulent schemes to avoid any
financial loss or damage.
