Lately, in the evening my dad called me. He asked me about something suspicious incident. There's someone who called him and denoting that he was one of the office workers in Goudie Company. My father was a crane operator that time. He managed and work as a crane operator for almost one decade. He was trained by his foreigner boss. He was being trusted for several years.

Now, someone called him with unknown number and try to asked him his name in Gcash and number. Well, we all know that before we can enter a Gcash account we need MPIN. A security code that is exclusive only to the owner of the Gcash account. My father don't have any idea of that. So, he was asked about the three: Gcash name, number and MPIN. My father asked about this cause he have a slight apprehension about his account.

I asked him who called you father? He just said he didn't know. That was literally a scammer. I just said. My father give the his name, number, and MPIN without knowing that those three are very sensitive. Well, he was confident that time cause the caller denoted himself as office workers of the company he was working for. The scammer didn't contend cause he asked a OTP code, I perception is that the scammer want to change the MPIN so my father couldn't access the account forever. I really think that he would change the number and name it too.

That was really dangerous. I asked my father if he has left money on his account. Good thing that my father didn't have huge money on his account. As you can see above he PHP 9.80, my mind became ease. I try to checked also his history of transactions if there's something suspicious transaction but I found nothing. I'm so thankful cause the theft didn't seem interested when he saw the balance.

During that time I just bought a load in my coins PH and called my father. I just told him that don't give any sensitive information especially you MPHIN and OTP code. Those are really important and that's not for everybody. It's exclusive only for the owner of the account. It is truly a theft and scammer why? It's because he just told my father that he will send money to him for the budget of maintenance of the crane. But he asked my father to send him the three: the account name, number and MPIN.

The theft really want to manipulate the account. He doesn't contend and asked again an OTP code which really important for changing a password or MPIN of Gcash account. My father gave immediately those sensitive information cause he really think that it was coming from his company. Without knowing a huge scammer indeed.

From that moment we try to open again his account to confirm if the account was being stoled. Good thing cause there's nothing change. Maybe when he saw the amount his interest vanished. We just change the MPIN and his new number to have a better security. I also said that if someone will asked you MPIN and OTP don't believe it and just ignore. Cause if you boss want to send you a money he'll just ask you the two : your name or number, that's it. Sometimes it is just a number.

Final thoughts

The Gcash account of my father was used for a purpose. His boss will send huge amount of money on his account, sometimes his boss send PHP 50,000. It is for the maintenance and other stuff needed in operating the crane. Good thing that when his boss sent him huge amount he immediately claim it. He don't want to hold it even an hour cause he have apprehensions about the money what if it will just vanish? That's what on his mind.
