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:

Don’t be a Victim of Phishing Scam
Nowadays, criminals find ways to obtain financial information through text messages, social media accounts and even emails. Most of the time these unknown emails go straight to spam folder but there are times you will see this in your inbox. Bad guys copied legitimate websites and emails so if you will not check carefully, you might fall for this scam.
Last January 21, I received an email from bpiexpress@bpi.com.ph. I retype the message so you can read the sample clearly but I did not change any word.
After two days, I received another letter from expressonline@bpi.com.ph. They are using BPI Logo but still, it doesn’t look legit.
Why I did not believe this letter?
1. Reading the email is enough proof that this is not from BPI, just check the grammar and how they compose the letter.
2. They send this to my blog email address not my personal email.
3. I don’t have any credit card with BPI.
But if you have credit cards with BPI or any credit card company, don’t be a victim of Phishing scam. Don't click anything nor give any personal information.

Get Cash, Rewards with Snapcart’s Latest Updates
Snapcart users can now enjoy the app more as it brings in more updates and added features to increase cashbacks, simply by snapping receipts!
READ: HOW TO EARN CASH FROM YOUR RECEIPTS
Snapcart is a mobile app that gives its users cashback by simply taking a snap of grocery receipts. In turn, data gathered from receipts provide real-time shopper insights to the app’s partner brands.
To bring in more rewards to app users, Snapcart announced users may take a snap, not just of grocery – but other retail stores such as pharmacies, health and beauty stores. This will eventually expand to all retail establishments including food & beverages, electronics, and apparels, to name a few. Rewards increase as users regularly use the app.
“We received an overwhelming response from users. We got more than a thousand downloads per day in the first weeks of the launch, surpassing our already strong results in Indonesia, but we still got questions on what receipts to upload. To take the guesswork out and make it more rewarding for users, Snapcart decided to update its features to accept all types of receipts. We also made it more engaging by introducing in-app games that could let users win even more rewards”, said Snapcart Co-founder, Mayeth Condicion.
The new game is called Snaptastic, an in-app bonus game feature where users can accumulate coins just by filling out in-app surveys, watching videos, taking selfies with their favorite products, or guessing mystery products. These coins may be used to increase users’ chances of getting cash, and other interesting surprises like shopping vouchers from Snapcart’s partner brands.
What’s in it for enterprises?
On a global scale, e-commerce giants like Amazon and eBay dominate the use of real-time data analytics. Off the shelf brands continue to rely on manually gathered and limited data on consumer preferences and behavior.
In the Philippines, the online retail market accounts for more or less 3% of the population, the majority of Filipino shoppers still prefer doing their shopping off the shelf, thus the need for a more efficient way to gather offline and online data.
Snapcart technology is able to bridge the gap in gathering online and offline data by analyzing receipts in real time and providing meaningful insights on how to understand customers better, to grow brands, and to see what drives growth or assess the effectiveness of marketing promotions and campaigns.
As Snapcart processes more variety of receipts, the app can expand data analytics services to industries beyond Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) to fashion, electronics, or food and beverages brands to name a few, providing more brands with a better understanding of shoppers’ habits and preferences.
Snaptastic makes shopping more fun for users. While users have fun playing the in-app game and increase cashbacks, brands, on the other hand, gain more insight on consumer behavior through surveys, crowd-sourced images or more receipts that they submit while playing the game.
This is a breakthrough in an otherwise traditional way of conducting and answering surveys and helps obtain even deeper insights about shoppers.
For more information, visit the Snapcart Asia website or Facebook and download the app at the Google Play Store.
