SSS reminds members, pensioners to secure PIN to protect accounts vs scammers

The Social Security System (SSS) reminded its members, pensioners, and employers to secure their personal identification number (PIN) and refrain from sharing any personal information to protect their accounts from fraudulent transactions.

In a statement released Monday, April 25, SSS and CEO President Michael Regino said the agency received several complaints from SSS members that their accounts were being subjected to fraudulent transactions perpetuated by scammers and other unscrupulous persons. 

Fraudulent transactions occur when some members share their login credential with unauthorized persons, Regino said.

“These login information should be kept confidential by account holders to protect themselves from scammers,” he stressed.

“We have asked our stakeholders not to share their usernames, passwords, and other login details on their My.SSS accounts to unauthorized individuals. Giving your username and password to another person is like sharing your ATM PIN. Anyone with this information could use your My.SSS account to avail of monetary benefits without your authorization,” he reiterated.

Regino also cautioned members and pensioners against entertaining unofficial online groups that allegedly offer easier access to SSS online accounts and provide technical assistance for free to loan-seekers.

“We do not recognize these unofficial online groups, even those found on Facebook. We consider them illegal, and they cannot facilitate SSS transactions on behalf of our members,” he stressed. (PR)-gb
