MANILA, Philippines — In an effort to combat fraudsters, GCash works with the Philippine National Police-Anti-cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) in developing strategies versus scams and ensuring effective investigation of cybercrimes done using the app.
The signing of the memorandum of agreement that happened on November 24 strengthens Gcash’s partnership with authorities and regulators to help ensure the whole e-wallet ecosystem is safe for all.
“I would like to express my confidence that through our stronger partnership with the PNP-ACG, we will be able to achieve more in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of cybercrimes. GCash also assures the PNP-ACG that we will do whatever we can in order to successfully implement our agreement,” GCash Chief Legal Officer Atty. Maricor Alvarez-Adriano said.
Prior to this partnership, Gcash has already worked with PNP-ACG in holding several seminars on cybercrime protection to equip citizens with enough knowledge about various forms of cyber-enabled crimes such as phishing, smishing, online fraud, e-scams and vishing among others.
