Gogolook, a leading global TrustTech company, has launched a new feature in the Whoscall app — a global anti-scam application — aimed at keeping Filipinos updated on the latest cyberspace news in the country.

According to Mel Migriño, Gogolook’s country head for the Philippines, they introduced the new "Scam Alert" feature to be a one-stop hub for scam-related news and updates.

“As part of our effort to raise awareness among Filipinos, we want them to stay informed about the latest developments in the Philippines that affect their online safety,” Migriño said.

She explained that the news wall features up-to-date articles sourced from legitimate outlets, curated and compiled directly into the app.

“With this, we offer Filipinos a convenient way to stay protected, reducing the risk of encountering illegitimate sources that could provide misleading or harmful information,” she added.

This initiative is part of Whoscall’s ongoing commitment to strengthening online protection for users.

The goal is to help Filipinos stay informed about the latest scam trends, enabling them to spot potential scammers early.

It also aims to keep them updated on the newest cybersecurity and anti-scam initiatives, both locally and globally, so they can share this knowledge with friends and family to protect them from becoming victims.

How to access scam alert

Android users can access this feature by opening the Whoscall app and tapping the three-bar menu icon in the upper left corner of their screen.

From there, they need to select "Protection," where they will find the "Scam Alert" option in the upper right corner.

For iOS users, accessing the feature is even simpler. By opening the Whoscall app, they can immediately access the "Scam Alert" section in the upper right corner of their screen.
