NEGROS OCCIDENTAL (PIA) -- GSIS President and General Manager Wick Veloso warned government insurance members not to give their banking and e-wallet information to avoid getting scammed.

He said there had been recent attempts from scammers and fraudsters posing as GSIS employees over the phone or the Internet asking for members’ personal GSIS data.

“GSIS will never ask for our members’ and pensioners’ banking or e-wallet information. We strongly advise our members and pensioners against giving away personal information that would compromise not only their accounts but also their safety,” Veloso said in a press release.

Scammers have now been observed to be sophisticated in their manner of deceiving unsuspecting members using various platforms to get financial account information.
