GCash Responds to Templates for Fake Receipts

UPDATE: With response from GCash on the fake receipt templates

As much as we want to push for cashless payments, we understand people’s concerns about. There are concerns regarding potential hacking and phishing incidents, and this latest incident is very concerning: allegedly, there’s a seller on Facebook that sells Canva templates for fake GCash receipts.

Shared by Mary Bautista’s Facebook page, the said listing is very concerning as the GCash receipt templates look very similar to the actual receipts that GCash issues when you make a successful transaction. It goes beyond fake receipts, as the post also sells Canva templates that mirror how GCash presents transaction histories.

Because of this, we highly advise everyone to double check their receipts–aside from the usual notifications that you receive on your phone, you have to double check the reference numbers that are posted on the receipt. From how we see it so far, those attempting to scam GCash users could not fake reference numbers, as these are unique codes that are tied to specific transactions.

GCash has told us that they are aware of the situation and are doing a crackdown on similar issues. They also told us that they will issue an advisory about it within the day.

    ‘aside from the usual notifications that you receive on your phone’ – Gcash stopped sending text alerts when you receive a payment/money transfer. How brilliant! you need to log in and check the transactions tab.

      There’s an option where you get notified by the app.
