GCash is strengthening its efforts against task scams and other forms of social engineering fraud as digital scam syndicates become increasingly sophisticated across the country.

GCash has issued an urgent cybersecurity advisory after detecting a rise in scams involving fake National ID (PhilSys) verification and fraudulent eGovPH-related mobile applications. Additionally, the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act also punishes those that make use or take advantage of the current crisis to prey on the public through scams, phishing, fraud, or other similar acts.
