HappyPlus Advisory Phishing Scam

Yesterday, I received an email regarding the HappyPlus Phishing Scam. I was shocked because pati HappyPlus card may phishing scam na rin pala. I will share here the email just in case you are not subscribed to their newsletter. 

This is to inform you of the SMS and email scams meant to target Happyplüs cardholders. These emails are sent to trick individuals into allegedly winning the Raffle Draw and downloading a certain application to claim the prize

Recently, some of the cardholders received an email or SMS that seemed to come from the Happyplüs program. Fraudsters make it appear as if the SMS or email come from the Happyplüs program. Clicking on the link, users are directed to download an application wherein they can claim the prize that they supposedly won in the Monthly Raffle draw. This application can be used as a virus to attack your devices. Please be informed that this is a phishing scam. Happyplüs will never ask its cardholders to download any application through embedded links

While the Happyplüs Technical Team has already taken action regarding this activity, we would like you to exercise caution regarding this suspicious email. We advise you and your family to change all your Happyplüs passwords. 

As an additional reminder, please take note of the following tips below to protect you from this fraudulent activity: 

Official Happyplüs Raffle Prizes can only be claimed at any of the participating Jollibee, Red Ribbon, Chowking and Greenwich stores.

We do not have any mobile or desktop application for Happyplüs.
