How phishing SMS scams work
Scammers send SMS messages that look like they came from GCash. These texts usually contain a link and a sense of urgency (for example: “account locked”, “verify now”, or “security update”).
The link leads to a fake login page designed to capture your credentials (MPIN) or One‑Time Password (OTP).
