Financial Fraud Awareness

Last Sunday, August 23, the Caleb Group gathered for a meaningful Financial Fraud Awareness Seminar—an afternoon dedicated to learning, awareness, and protection.

Financial fraud is a type of fraud in which a person uses lies, false information, or fraudulent methods to obtain another person’s money, bank account details, OTPs, card information, or personal information.

It was a valuable opportunity to share essential information on financial fraud, recognize potential risks, and learn practical ways to stay vigilant and protect ourselves and our resources.

With the help of Mr. Jovel Pagas, a Relationship Manager at the UnionBank, who served as the speaker, the Caleb members learned about different types of financial fraud, common examples, and how to avoid being scammed.

“It was really a blessing for me to be given the opportunity to speak and share what I’ve learned from my experience in banking. I’m grateful that I was able to share something that can help people, especially seniors, become more aware and careful about financial scams. I am grateful for the trust and for giving me this opportunity to serve. It was truly a meaningful experience for me.” — Jovel Pagas.

We believe it was a truly worthwhile afternoon—filled with knowledge, important reminders, and insights that can make a difference in our everyday lives. Because being informed is one of the first steps toward being protected.

The members learned an important piece of advice: When it comes to money, do not be afraid to ask, and do not be in a hurry. When it comes to protecting your money, do not be afraid to seek guidance from those whom you trust, and do not make decisions in a hurry, impulsively or under pressure.

Let’s stay aware, stay vigilant, and help one another stay safe from financial fraud.
