GCash Shares Tips on How to Avoid Being Scammed

GCash, the Philippines’ no.1 mobile wallet, is beefing up its campaign against fraudsters as it ramps up its call for users to be extra vigilant when making transactions. GCash is also renewing its call for users to #GCheckMuna to avoid being victimized by scammers. Here’s a #GCheckList with helpful advice for Filipinos on how to avoid fraud online:
- Learn how to spot fake websites, emails, texts, or calls. Check if the email address and the send are the same and it comes from the email domains @gcash.com or @mynt.xyz. Make sure the websites, www.gcash.com or www.help.gcash.com, are spelled correctly and without additional punctuations. It’s also important to NEVER click any link inside emails or texts. Fake emails, messages, or even calls usually instill a sense of urgency among users – pressuring them to take action so that their account won’t be deactivated.
- Be aware of the various types of scams. Stay up to date on fraudsters’ modus operandi on the news or from trusted experts and organizations like GCash. Some scammers resort to swindling or use account takeover to scam people.
- Avoid account takeover or phishing. Scammers often pose as a company representative or a loved one to trick you into giving your One-time Password (OTP). That’s why it’s important to never share your MPIN or OTP. Also, don’t click links outside of the GCash app.
- Stay away from fake online sellers. Make purchases only from trusted online sellers, or at least research online if the seller is legitimate. Check when the account was created, if the seller transacts with multiple customers, and if they have repeat customers. Also, take the time to read the customer reviews
- Be wary of fake rewards and offers. Official GCash promos and raffles will only be released via email, SMS, and official social media pages. Likewise, beware of illegitimate investments, especially if they seem too good to be true.
To further help ensure customers’ safety and security, GCash has various swindling and phishing protective measures in place. GCash’s swindling solutions include real-time risk monitoring of Send Money and Bank Transfer transactions with potential scammers being flagged, as well as online shopping insurance to protect against scams for as low as P15 a month.
GCash’s phishing solutions include real-time risk monitoring; risk-based authentication through face verification, OTP, and security questions for unusual transactions; fraud management, which includes immediately blacklisting of fraudulent users; and fraud handling, which includes close collaboration with the Philippine National Police – Anti-Cybercrime Group to apprehend guilty parties.
To report scams and fraudulent activities, visit the official GCash Help Center at https://help.gcash.com/hc/en-us or message Gigi on the website and type, “I want to report a scam.” GCash will NEVER send you a personal message to address concerns. Customers can also reach out to the official GCash hotline: 2882 for queries and other concerns.

GCash, Sakahon Empower Agricultural Sector Through Affordable, Convenient Loans for Farmers in Floridablanca, Pampanga

With its clear vision to promote financial inclusion and digital adoption for all Filipinos, GCash, the country’s leading mobile wallet, has launched a pilot Farmer Loan initiative which aims to empower and improve the financial literacy and capabilities of the agricultural community in Floridablanca, Pampanga.
The launch was done in collaboration with Sakahon, an award-winning agritech social enterprise that enables farmers to analyze and use data to know what the market needs ahead of time.
GCash assisted over 30 partner farmers in creating their own accounts to allow them to avail of quick and easy cash loans offered by GCash’s credit affiliate, Fuse Lending. Likewise, the farmers were introduced to other GCash services like Send Money, Pay QR, as well as savings and investment solutions.
Nanay Gemma is among the first Filipino farmers who will benefit from these digitally inclusive loans. She said in Filipino, “this program of GCash will enable us to transact faster. We don’t need many documents and no more long lines. We are grateful for this opportunity so that we are better connected to the market and to the digital world.”
Through this initiative, farmers can easily avail of additional capital for their crops through GLoan; save money and enjoy interest rates as high as 7.2% per annum through GSave; grow their money by investing in a market fund with GInvest; and protect themselves and their families by getting insured through GInsure.
“Thanks to our partnership with Sakahon, we’re making sure every Filipino, especially our farmers, have access to affordable and safe loans, helping improve their livelihood and the lives of their families,” said Tony Isidro, CEO of Fuse Lending. “As the Philippines grapple with food security issues, it’s now more important than ever to support our farmers and empower them with innovative digital financial solutions.”
Elaine Timbol, CEO of Sakahon also highlighted, “GCash has been instrumental in bridging the gap between farmers and more affordable formal loans. Through this program, we hope to have a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of our farmers, as we help them secure their financial future. Through financial literacy programs and bringing formal financial services closer to farmers, not only will their families benefit, but also the Philippine economy, which has been suffering from a stagnant agricultural sector.”
With over 71 million registered users to date, GCash has been tirelessly working to democratize access to important financial services like formal lending through GLoan, GGives, and GCredit.
