DSWD warns public of text scams on 4Ps
MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has warned the public of text scams involving the government’s Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program or 4Ps.
The DSWD said the text message says “Congratulations, President Noy-Noy Aquino Foundation 4Ps Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, your sim # won P950,000 as second prize winner in the Handog Pangkabuhayan raffle promo, DTI 0154s’12.â€
The text message comes from a certain Lea Ramos claiming that the recipient won a prize from the supposed foundation, the DSWD said.
The DSWD said the message “is not true†and that it does not hold any raffle promos or draws.
“The DSWD urges all those who will receive this text message to immediately report to the nearest DSWD office or text to the Pantawid Pamilya Grievance Text Hotline 0918-912-2813,†it said.
The 4Ps is a human development program that invests in the education and health of children aged up to 14.
At least three million poor Filipino households are now covered by 4Ps, the DSWD said.
