The Global Filipino Magazine has issued a warning to participants of their ongoing gold and jewelry competition regarding a scam involving fake accounts. Reports indicate that some participants have been receiving friend requests from personal accounts impersonating The Global Filipino Magazine, directing them to click a link to claim their prize.
The magazine clarified that it does not use personal accounts for competitions and reminded everyone that its official announcements will only be made on its official Facebook page. Participants are urged not to accept friend requests from these impersonators or click any suspicious links. The official winner announcement will be made on September 5, 2024, exclusively on the magazine’s Facebook page.
The Global Filipino Magazine encourages users to report and block these fraudulent accounts to prevent further scams.
