Fake verifiers are people who claim that they can verify your GCash account for a certain fee. 

They claim that they can verify your account because they want to: 

• Steal your personal information, such as your birthday, address, mobile number, username or password 
• Phish your security information, such as your OTP and MPIN, and take over your account 

Here are some tips on how to spot and avoid someone who is selling a verified account to you:

• You are being asked to verify outside the GCash App. GCash does not verify accounts via social media channels or email and only verifies accounts through the GCash App.

• • To avoid this, do the following:
    • Verify your own GCash account on the GCash App.  Visit How do I get Fully Verified? to learn how to get verified.
    • Don’t buy or sell fully verified GCash accounts. Verify your own account because you may face legal charges and end up in jail if your personal information was used for illegal transactions. 

• • You are being asked to do an urgent action. Fake verifiers rush you in giving your information, not allowing you time to think carefully about your decisions.
