The National Telecommunications Commission admitted that it is difficult to stop spam text messages and to track down the persons behind them, according to Marisol Abdurahman’s “24 Oras” report on Thursday.
The agency urged the public not to reply in these text messages or give personal information especially to texters that are not included in their phone directory. “We identify the aggregator, we suspend the account of the aggregator even before telling them,” Angel Redoble, PLDT's chief information security officer.
Globe Telecom Inc. urged customers to use built-in SMS spam filters or blockers to fend off scam messages from unknown senders. Jessa Lebrilla, a phone user who always receives spam messages, said she received these texts since March last year.“Kasi may pera po eh, may halaga po eh. Nireplayan ko po siya paano maclaim yung pera ,” Lebrilla said.
Senator Grace Poe called on the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the NTC to increase their efforts in addressing the ""The unabated surge of text scams has brought further hardship and distress on our people who are already mired in debts. This must stop," Poe, chairperson of the Senate committee on public services, said in a statement.
It doesn't matter as long as SIM card registration is there and strictly implemented.
