SSS warns members of scammers accessing their My.SSS accounts
SOCIAL Security System (SSS) urged members, pensioners, and employers of the state-pension fund to secure their login credentials on the My.SSS portal and other personal information to protect their accounts from fraudulent transactions.
The urgent reminder was issued following several complaints from SSS members that fraudulent transactions appeared in their accounts with the My.SSS, obviously perpetuated by scammers and other unscrupulous persons.
One of the reasons why such fraudulent transactions occur, SSS insiders noted, was the tendency of some members to share their login credentials with unauthorized persons. These login information should be kept confidential by accountholders to protect themselves from scammers.
The SSS cited a case wherein a member sought the assistance of another person while trying to create and access his My.SSS account on the Internet. It turned out that the person from whom the SSS member sought for help is a fixer and scammer who later drew a salary loan from the account without his knowledge.
SSS members were advised, too, not to entertain unofficial online groups in various platforms, like Facebook, that allegedly offer easier access to SSS online accounts and provided technical assistance for a fee to loan-seekers.
Members must report suspected fixers or scammers to the Special Investigation Department (SID) through e-mail at fid@sss.gov.ph or at (02) 8924-7370. ###
