We all know that the processing of SSS UMID took some time. And some scammers took advantage of this processing time constraints of the agency. The SSS has finally spoken about the Rush UMID Processing Text Scam where text messages are spreading offering speeding the UMID card processing in exchange of P100 or any amount as fee.

According to the published article on the SSS Website, “SSS does not have rush application for UMID cards nor is it collecting fees for such purposes as card applications are processed on a first-in first-out basis. Recipients of these fraudulent text messages are advised to immediately report it to the nearest SSS branch or call the SSS hotline at 920-6446 to 55. They are also encouraged to file a report with their own mobile phone service provider to stop the dissemination of bogus SSS text messages through their networks.”
