Fake Department of Health medical subsidy page that asks for your phone number

Pages using the name of the Philippine Department of Health say all users are eligible for a medical subsidy of ₱30,000. The page tells you to click a button and enter your mobile phone number to receive the subsidy. It shows a counter of remaining subsidy-fund slots and comments from people saying they received the money. The banner lists three steps: fill out the survey, qualify and receive medical assistance, then share with friends to spread the help. At least four web addresses carried these pages. They were reported between August 8 and August 11, 2026, and none of them is a government website.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. This version pretends to be a government agency, the Department of Health of the Philippines, instead of a shop or brand. The offer is a ₱30,000 medical subsidy.

  2. This version has no quiz. It shows a subsidy banner, a counter of remaining subsidy-fund slots and a "Get it" button.

  3. The page asks for your mobile phone number to receive the subsidy.

  4. Sharing is the third numbered step in the banner, and the banner ends with "THE MORE YOU SHARE, THE MORE LIVES WE CAN HELP!"

  5. The web addresses start with "dohgovph" so they look like the agency's name.

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: You receive or open a page that uses a well-known brand name and says you have won a prize.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The page asks you to share it on social media or with multiple groups or friends through messaging apps before you can claim the prize.

  3. 3

    Step 3: The shared link may use an unrelated web address and take recipients through another prize or reward page.

  4. 4

    Step 4: The page may later ask for personal details, payment information, or additional actions to release the supposed prize.

✓ Do this

  • Close the page and verify promotions through the brand's official website or app, opened independently.
  • Warn anyone you may have sent the link to so they do not open it or share it further.
  • Report the message or page through the service where you received it, then delete it.
  • If you entered information or payment details, contact your bank or card provider and change any reused password through the official service.

✗ Avoid this

  • Do not share the page with groups, friends, or family to unlock a prize.
  • Do not enter personal, account, or payment information on an unfamiliar prize page.
  • Do not trust a brand logo, countdown, comments, or claims that other people already received the reward.
  • Do not use links from the page to verify the promotion; find the official brand website yourself.
