Filipinos warned against phishing emails linked to SIM card registration

MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): Mobile subscribers are warned against phishing emails related to SIM (subscriber identity module) card registration, which will start next week.

In an advisory on Friday, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said the emails instruct the unsuspecting victims to participate in a “pre-registration process” so their e-wallet and mobile payment applications would be “reactivated.”
