The Department of Transportation (DOTr) strongly warns the public against fraudsters impersonating Secretary Giovanni Lopez through private messages and social media.

DO NOT ENGAGE. DO NOT SEND MONEY.

The Secretary and all DOTr officials will NEVER request money, personal data, or conduct transactions outside official government channels.

The public is likewise urged:
Never share sensitive information over calls, texts, or online messages.

If you receive suspicious communications, report immediately through the DOTr Commuter Hotline:
📞 0920-964-3687

The DOTr is actively coordinating with the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group and the Department of Information and Communications Technology to track and stop those behind these scams.

Stay alert. Verify before you act. Protect yourself and others.
