Globe scam messages

Globe has just revealed that in the effort of keeping the public safe from fraudulent activities and scams, they have blocked over 138 million spam and scam messages from January to June 15 this year. Globe stated that the blocking of spam messages had peaked during May 2022 with 74.48 million spam messages being filtered out. On top of blocking messages, Globe had also deactivated 12,877 mobile numbers linked to the spamming of customers from January to May via Globe's Stop Spam web portal. He went on to say that on top of intensifying Globe's efforts in filtering spam messages, he was also highly appreciative of the public remaining vigilant in reporting these unwanted messages on their reporting portal. Which is to "Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation." If you experience any scam messages in the Globe network, you may report it via https://www.globe.com.ph/stop-spam.html. However, one highlight is an update to Google Messages—the app can now detect possible text scams in real-time using on-device AI. Google aptly calls this ‘Scam Detection’ and it essentially identifies suspicious messages and notifies users with a real-time warning that says, "Likely scam". Just like in text messages, the AI detects conversational patterns that scammers usually say.
