The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has issued a warning to the public regarding illegal data collection schemes involving the PhilID.
The PSA clarified that they are not engaged in any activities related to scanning PhilID cards or ePhilID, or collecting and verifying data through unauthorized channels.
They strongly advised against sharing your PhilID, ePhilID, or any personal information with individuals or entities claiming to represent the PSA for scanning, data collection, or verification. These actions are not authorized and could jeopardize your privacy and security.
The PSA encouraged the public to promptly report any individuals or organizations claiming to be linked to the PSA and requesting PhilID or ePhilID for scanning or engaging in suspicious activities.
They provided contact information for reporting such instances to their Fraud Management Division through email at [email protected] or by visiting the nearest PhilSys Registration Center.
