The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) issued a Notice to Depositors and the General Public to beware of deposit insurance claim scams involving certain individuals who represent themselves either as officers of the PDIC and related government agencies, or as persons who can facilitate payment of deposit insurance claims and recovery of uninsured deposits.

All member-banks are enjoined to include in their public advisories or display in their office premises a copy of PDIC's advisory against deposit insurance claim scam, and to report to PDIC any information on individuals or entities who offer their services and demand for fees to facilitate any transaction with the PDIC.

For inquiries and assistance, please contact the PDIC Public Assistance Department at telephone numbers (02) 841-4630 to 31.

For strict compliance.
