SIM registration, meant to fight scams, now being used for fraud CDNDigital
Based on the latest data from the NTC, 17,115,910 SIM cards, or 10.13 percent of the 168,977,773 existing cards in the Philippines, had already been registered as of 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday .Almost three weeks since the listing started, Smart Communications Inc. has already registered 8,037,862 SIM cards, while Globe Telecom Inc. has 7,556,037. DITO Telecommunity Corp. has listed 1,522,011.
The email messages tell subscribers with registered accounts with their provider’s virtual and mobile payment applications that their accounts are being restricted in line with the law and will only be reactivated through a supposed pre-registration process. This, as the SIM card listing requires the registrant to provide his or her name, age, address, mobile number, photo, and a government issued identification card, like passport, driver’s license, and voter’s ID.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Jon Paulo Salvahan told ABS-CBN News that the person registered for the SIM card will be the one liable in case the card was used for crimes.As explained by the DICT, this was the reason that selfie verification is an important part of the registration process as it helps in preventing the possibility of selling pre-registered SIM cards.
