MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on Friday reminded the public to be wary of text scams circulating recently which mentioned the agency's conditional cash transfer program.
 
In a statement, DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman denied that the department is involved in any raffle via text messages.
 
"Do not believe this text message. There is no truth about this because  the DSWD, as the lead implementor of Pantwid Pamilya, does not hold or engage in any raffle promo or draw. Pantawid Pamilya does not also give away prizes. And there is no Noy-Noy Aquino Foundation 4Ps Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program," Soliman said.
 
The text message contains the following: "Congratulations, from President Noy-Noy Aquino Foundation 4Ps Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, your sim # won P950,000 as second prize winner in the Handog Pangkabuhayan raffle promo, DTI P#9513 s’12. Please text your complete name, age, address."
 
Soliman also called on those who will receive this text message not to respond but instead to immediately report this to the nearest DSWD office or text to the Pantawid Pamilya Grievance Text Hotline: 0918-912-2813.
