Community members have expressed concern about the growing number of such fraudulent schemes online.
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) alerted the public to be cautious and vigilant against this scam that offers up to P20,000 in cash aid. Officials reported that the message tries to lure victims by requesting sensitive personal details under the guise of official assistance.
How the Scam Operates
According to local leaders, the scam message spreads through online platforms, enticing recipients with promises of financial support. However, it aims to collect personal data, which could be misused for identity theft or other malicious activities.
“Maging maingat at huwag basta-basta magbigay ng personal na impormasyon!” the OVP emphasized in a statement. They underscored that the offer of P20,000 cash assistance in exchange for personal information is entirely false.

Stay Informed and Protect Yourself
As scams like these continue to evolve, staying informed is crucial. The public must remain alert and question any unsolicited messages promising financial aid, especially when they request personal details.
Trustworthy information will always come from official government sources or authorized platforms. Never share your personal information unless you are certain of the legitimacy of the request.
