Globe has blocked almost 1.1 billion scam and spam messages in the first quarter of 2023 to support the government's efforts against online fraud reinforced by the SIM Registration Act. From January to March 2023, Globe’s Stop Spam portal has a total of 22,455 of blacklisted SIMs compared to 1,812 in the same period last year. Globe has also deactivated 647 SIMs, where 610 were involved in sending scam or fraud messages, while the remaining 37 were used in sending spam texts. In the course of a stepped-up fight against fraudsters, Globe blocked a record 2.72 billion spam and scam messages in 2018, more than double the 1.15 billion blocks made in 2021. Aside from our various consumer protection initiatives, we are continuously investing in advanced spam detection and blocking systems to protect our subscribers from unwanted and unsolicited messages,” according to Globe Chief Information Security Officer Anton Bonifacio. In September 2022, Globe began restricting SMS with clickable URLs as an industry first in response to growing concern about the rise of scam and spam messages, especially those containing the entire names of mobile customers.
