Globe Telecom advises its postpaid subscribers to not fall victim to fraudulent text messages which say: “GLOBE Postpaid: Congrats!You're the one selected postpaid plan given P150 discount billing, to get your P150 discount billing just text 150 send to 2916XXXXXXX.”  

By adding the number “2” before the 10-digit cell phone number of the recipient, the unsuspecting subscriber would have done a Share-A-Load transaction, thus the amount would be transferred or credited to the sending prepaid number.

Subscribers are requested to validate unusual texts and calls especially if they do not come from official four-digit Globe numbers. 

Globe advises its subscriber to “not respond” and report the suspicious texts or calls to authorized telco customer service channels or via SMS, text HELP send to 1234.*
