It looks like scammers are at it again—and this time, they’re pretending to be VP Sara Duterte.
In a fresh warning released on April 18, the Vice President alerted the public about an individual falsely using her identity on a messaging app. She made it clear: if you’re chatting with someone claiming to be her online, think twice.
According to Duterte, this isn’t the first time fraudsters have tried to impersonate her. That’s why she’s urging everyone to stay extra cautious when dealing with people on messaging platforms.
She emphasized a simple but crucial reminder—don’t just trust anyone online, especially if they start asking for personal information.
“Be careful who you talk to, and never give out sensitive details so easily,” her message stressed.
The Vice President also gave a direct warning: don’t fall for these scams.
With online fraud cases continuing to rise, her reminder hits home—stay alert, verify identities, and when in doubt, don’t engage.
