FGP Insurance gives tips on safe shopping
Based on the Global Consumer Pulse Survey by TransUnion, there has been an increase in digital fraud attempts against businesses and consumers in the country during the pandemic, with 44 percent of Filipino consumers targeted by digital fraud.”¯Recent cases of text phishing scams include pretending to come from legitimate companies, while some messages display the full name and address of users. These have sparked public concern.
Despite the decreasing number of digital fraud cases in 2022, online scams and phishing will continue to remain prevalent if Filipinos remain less wary about securing their online shopping presence.
With these, here are some warning signs on online transactions and determine if it may just be another scam.”¯
- Check if the website’s universal resource locator or URL has no “S” in its “HTTPS” domain. The S in HTTPS indicates that the website is secure. Any sensitive data, such as those handled by online banking services, email providers, retailers, etc., will be transferred safely from the buyer to the website. An HTTPS domain prevents websites from having their information disclosed to anyone.”¯
- Be wary of sites or sellers that ask for financial information immediately, such as banking details, card information, or other sensitive financial details, even if you still need to add to your cart.
- Return policy should be clear. In compliance with the Consumer Act of the Philippines, consumers have the right to be compensated for receiving defective products or not as advertised. Legitimate websites and online shopping platforms have clear return or refund policy instructions.
- Check the reviews. Consider negative reviews and existing complaints on social media.
- Seller’s details must be available. The seller must be available in different communication channels through social media, text, or the online shopping app. Legitimate sellers reply to queries and concerns promptly.”¯
While there are measures to protect oneself against online scams, people will still fall prey to these scammers. To safeguard Filipino online shoppers, FPG Insurance pioneered the creation of a tailor-made insurance product for a safer shopping experience.
“We’re really customer-centric – and what’s key for us is to really adapt and make sure that we’re always relevant in the changing times,” Sharon Navarro, Chief Underwriting Officer of FPG Insurance, says in a November interview as she expresses the need to protect Filipinos during this digital era.
Aptly called MyCyberProtect Mate, this insurance product protects online buyers from undelivered goods and losses due to unauthorized transfer of funds (online bank accounts, electronic wallets, or credit and debit cards) through phishing, malware, or electronic fund transfer. The product also covers identity theft, cyberbullying, and other applicable online fraud or scams.
People insured with MyCyberProtect Mate are given round-the-clock service through a dedicated team of cybersecurity experts to help those experiencing problems with their online transactions.
FPG Insurance is the first to offer a cybersecurity insurance product in the Philippines, focused on protecting Filipinos with innovative solutions.”¯The company continuously raises awareness of this product, with upcoming partnerships to reach every Filipino, including those in the provinces.
Senior citizen registers 20-year-old SIM at Globe’s SIM registration assistance desk in Bacolod
When Erlinda Caring chanced upon a Globe SIM Registration Assistance Desk on her recent trip to a mall in Bacolod City, the 68-year-old took the opportunity to get her SIM registered. She didn’t want to cram close to the deadline or risk losing her TM SIM, which she has been using for some 20 years.
“My children were busy, and I saw SIM registration in my area, so I grabbed the opportunity to register my SIM Card,” Caring, a basic phone user, told Globe brand ambassadors who manned the assistance desk on January 27, the day of her visit.
Caring, of Barangay Alijis, Bacolod City, was ready with two valid IDs and her SIM, and gamely posed for a photo to complete her registration. It took her all of 5 minutes.
A loyal TM user, Caring shared that she has never changed her SIM as it has been convenient to use. “TM load is affordable and has a fast signal, too,” she said.
Globe has started rolling out SIM Registration Assistance Desks in strategic locations across the country to help seniors and basic phone users like Caring register their SIMs within deadline conveniently.
This is among Globe’s initiatives to reach out to as many customers as possible and get their SIMs registered before the April 26, 2023 deadline. Those who fail to register will have their SIMs deactivated.
“We are going where our customers are so we are bringing SIM registration assistance desks to strategic locations. We want to make sure that those facing challenges in registering their SIMs get the help that they need,” said Cleo Santos, Head of Globe’s Channel Management Group.
In January, Globe deployed SIM registration assistance booths in 15 areas under the government-led rollout of on-site SIM registration. It also held SIM registration assistance in 30 Puregold branches across the country from January 27 to 29, and massive SIM registration initiatives at the Sinulog Festival in Cebu and the Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo.
Registration continues 24/7 at Globe’s online platform https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg, while SIM Registration will soon be available in the GlobeOne app, where customers may get exclusive promos and deals only in the app.
As of February 2, Globe has logged over 11.45 million registration
