I received an SMS earlier containing a phishing link and here are some actions I have taken.
First thing I did is to report the number to NTC, SMART, and Globe before posting it on Twitter and Facebook. Globe responded to my Twitter post but since they doesn't seem to care much, I take actions on my own, at my own risk.
I accessed the URL on the SMS [MY-BDO-MOBILE.ONLINE] using incognito with my Kaspersky on to check the website. I was then re-directed to a different website [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.] that looks very similar to the BDO login page.
I searched these domain's WHO.IS data via Google Domains, and take a screenshot of the information I needed.
I then sent an email to domainabuse@tucows.com and registrar-abuse@google.com before calling Google Registrar Abuse Contact Phone +18772376466 to have my report be marked as urgent. Luckily Pinoy din yung nakausap ko over the phone and he assured me that it will be marked and be treated with utmost urgency.
Sa mga may natatanggap na text messages gaya nito, take actions as well if confident kayo na kaya nyo. It will help others din kasi I noticed that the fake BDO domain was just registered recently.

For your reference, kung gusto nyong gayahin in the future kung may ire-report din kayo, ito yung sinend kong email..
