Scammers produce fake deposit slips for online sellers

Recent incidents pointed to a group of online scammers producing fake BDO deposit slips to show to online sellers in order to process orders.

The faked deposit transaction slips were produced using the original paper (which customers are given after making a deposit) and printed with the validation machines. It is unknown where or how the validation machines were acquired by the scammers.

To the untrained eye, the deposit slips really looked like the original ones. The scammers then use these as proof of payment for orders they’ve made from online stores.

One online seller we talked to has coordinated with BDO which admitted the scam being perpetrated repeatedly by an unknown group.

BDO has acted on this incident and have changed the type of paper they used for the transaction slips.

    Hi Yugatech! I believe hindi fake yung isang deposit slip. Yung “real” deposit slip yung nakalgay means 797 (branch code kung saan ka nagdeposit) IB (inter branch) CD (cash deposit) to 272 (branch code ng account ng pinagsendan mo)

    Yung “fake” deposit slip naman nakalagay lang is 554 (branch code kung saan ka nagdeposit) CD (cash deposit) Kaya ganun lang sya kasi hindi sya inter branch, can be same lang sila na Metro Manila or same City.

    May deposit slips kasi akong ganito na ako mismo ang nakapagtransact kaya napansin ko din ito at nagtanong ako sa teller ng BDO :) Though, meron naman talagang ibang tao gumagawa ng fake deposit slips/proof of payments kaya dapat maging maingat parin tayo. Tulad ng sabi sa ibang comments na dapat talaga check nalang natin tutal real time naman ang pagreflect sa accounts natin :)

    Share ko lang naman toh. Nagpalit narin ng deposit slip ang BDO siguro dahil marami narin sila naring ganitong feedback sa kanila.

    If you’ve signed up with BDO online, you can check your account’s activity, including deposits. It shows you the amount deposited, date and time, and the branch where the deposit was made. If the information provided by the buyer does not check out, then it’s a scam.

      Exactly. Check the timestamp on the deposit slip and compare it to the timestamp on your online banking transaction history. If things don’t add up, you’re likely being scammed. It pays to be diligent, people.

    I myself know how to edit pictures. I do not believe on proof of payment. I also do not believe in reference numbers. I need to check the money if it really is deposited or sent (for Cebuana, Western Union…) before I send the package.

    Hello Sir Yugatech, Online scammers are really improving their tricks to take advantage with the people. At the first place, honestly as I see what they are offering like making our invested money became big is really attractive. But at the end we will end up on thinking that it is very impossible. By the way, I would like to add, I’ve seen a site name Self Emplyoment Option they say that they If I invest in their program I will gain more money. I wonder if it’s a scam or not?

    hanggang ngayon pala issue pa din ito. I remember a friend telling me na since siya ang nagdedeposit ng benta ng store na pinagtatrabahuhan niya, napeke niya yung ilang mga deposit slips na pinakita lang niya sa company nila na hindi naman vineverify ng company. Kaya ayun, nakapagpatayo siya ng second floor ng bahay nila. And this happened almost 15 years ago. LOL. grabe.

    How hard is it to verify na nadeposit na talaga sa account mo yung bayad sayo?

    Umorder ako dati ng TV remote from the official distributor ng isang TV brand kasi nasira na yung orig na remote.
    They gave me an account number to deposit the money to and after ko ideposit and i-inform sila of the deposit details, they asked me to wait for them to confirm the deposit.
    Nung na confirm na nila ayun pinadala na sa kin yung remote thru courier.

    How hard can that be?
