The Philippine National Police warned against the recent proliferation of text scam s that threaten recipients with lawsuits and arrests.According to a 24 Oras report by Emil Sumangil on Friday, the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group called the new ploy a “warrant of arrest” scam.The texts often claim that recipients have existing cases for which they will be arrested.Some texts feature officer names, PNP offices, and the words “warrant” and “subpoena.
The PNP said the scam messages used bad grammar and provided inaccurate information.“Pati paggamit ng pangalan… rank ng officer, PS/SUPT Police Senior Superintendent… Hindi na natin ginagamit ito, matagal na. The way they construct the message, hindi na siya kapani-paniwala,” Sabino said.“Usually, yung nga text messages na ito nanggagaling sa mga social messaging apps… Yung mga encrypted… With the use of the internet, maiha-hide mo yung identity mo roon,” she added.
