From January to September in 2023, Globe blocked over 7 million scam and spam text messages that were pretending to be from banks. He explained, Our partnerships with various banks and financial institutions, aimed at enhancing fraud detection and prevention have been highly effective, as evidenced by the steep decline in blocked spam and scam SMS related to banks. According to the Ayala-owned telco, they’ve received reports that their subscribers receive around five to 10 spam SMS on a daily basis which, unsurprisingly, caused a massive uproar from their patrons.
