For 2024, Globe expanded the reach of its Digital Thumbprint Program to 6,196 participants, as the telco works on bridging the knowledge gap in the fight against online fraud.

Globe brought the program to 450 participants in November alone, touring it around Ilocos Sur, Pampanga, Rizal and Davao del Norte.

Citing data from the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, Globe said one in three Filipinos were targeted by fraudsters in the past 12 months. Unfortunately, most of them fall victim to these schemes on the false promise of monetary gain.
