๐ข PAALALA SA PUBLIKO
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) warns the public about a Viber number fraudulently impersonating Undersecretary Claire Dennis S. Mapa.
The scam involves someone using the Viber number +639654052246, along with Usec. Mapaโs full name and photo, to solicit urgent monetary favors.
We stress that this is NOT Usec. Mapaโs official number, and the mentioned Viber account is NOT affiliated with the Office of the National Statistician or the PSA.
The PSA takes fraud seriously and is actively taking legal action through its Fraud Management Division and Legal Service, in coordination with relevant authorities.
We urge the public to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious PSA-related accounts or activities to [email protected] and [email protected].
