The holiday season in the Philippines is already here, and with it comes a warning: expect a significant spike in sophisticated and opportunistic scams targeting Filipinos. With the influx of 13th-month pay, increased online shopping, and a general atmosphere of generosity and urgency, cybercriminals are launching a multi-pronged assault.
I’ll be discussing the modus operandi these scammers use to deceive unsuspecting victims. This includes schemes such as the E-Wallet “Aguinaldo” Phishing Scam, “Ghost Booking” for Holiday Getaways, and a range of E-Commerce and Online Shopping Scams.
Stay tuned, stay safe and don’t forget to share this warning so others can stay informed and protected as well.
