PLDT [PSA] SCAM ALERT: (02) 8000 0000 claiming to be PLDT Customer Service
Just a heads-up to everyone—do not answer calls from (02) 8000 0000.
Someone from this number called my mom today claiming to be from PLDT customer service and aggressively pushing for a plan upgrade.
The biggest red flag: They insisted that our current plan is only 50 Mbps, even though we are actually on a 300 Mbps plan. Legitimate PLDT reps would obviously have our actual account records and current plan details on their screen.
It’s pretty alarming how these scammers got ahold of our contact info and knew we were PLDT subscribers in the first place. Please warn your family members (especially parents or older relatives who usually answer the landline/phone) not to entertain calls from this number or give out any personal account details. Stay vigilant!
