What Filipino users should know first

Mobile-first users often keep banking apps, e-wallets, email, social accounts, and trading access on one phone. That makes the phone itself part of the risk surface. Use a device lock, unique passwords, app updates, and account alerts before handling any trading-related payment.

KYC information is sensitive. Do not send IDs, selfies, payment screenshots, wallet statements, or address documents to social-media admins, unofficial forms, or comment threads. If verification is required, use only the official account area you can verify.

If an e-wallet or bank transaction looks suspicious, act quickly through the provider's official support and keep timestamps, reference numbers, screenshots, and device information. Do not try to solve account compromise inside a public chat group.
