Scammers are getting craftier. A recent viral post exposed individuals selling templates for fake GCash transaction records on platforms like Canva. These templates include fabricated receipts, transaction clips, and even fake account histories.
Their target? Sellers who rely on GCash for transactions. By presenting these counterfeits as proof of payment, scammers can trick unsuspecting sellers into releasing their products or services before any actual money has been transferred.
Here’s how to protect yourself:
- Don’t rely solely on screenshots. Always wait for the official SMS confirmation from GCash before handing over your item or service.
- Double-check your GCash account. Verify the transaction yourself within the app.
- Embrace QR codes. Utilize GCash QR for secure and real-time payment verification.
Spread the word! Let’s keep the online community safe from these “evil mods” (modi = modus operandi, scam method).
