Globe warns its customers against fake SIM registration links circulating
online, which lead to malicious sites aimed at duping customers into
sharing sensitive information.
Fraudsters have been spreading fake links on social media, enticing mobile
users to register. Once clicked, these fake URLs lead to blogs filled with
online ads.
“We appeal to our customers to please use only our official platforms to
register new SIMs. The only way to register your new SIMs is through our
SIM registration site or the GlobeOne app. Any other site pretending to be
a registration portal is fraudulent and dangerous. Please be vigilant,”
said Darius Delgado, Globe Vice President and Head, Consumer Mobile
Business.
Customers should register new SIMs only through the following official
platforms:

The Department of Information and Communications Technology earlier warned
the public against these fake SIM registration sites, saying these are
geared towards getting sensitive information from SIM users.
Globe earlier completed major improvements to its SIM registration channels
as it hopes to protect customer data and deter fraud.
These include advanced encryption protocols to secure data transmission
during registration, live photo capture, and use of Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) technology for document verification.
