Talk of the Town: Seize momentum to curb text scams

Comments on “Seize momentum to curb text scams,” (Editorial, 8/7/24) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:

The comments of the senators just highlight the low level of grey cells. A text msg can be sent via apps or web based services none of which requires a SIM. A VPN hides the IP address. SIM registration was a waste of money and just an excuse to hide the fact that the senator behind it was clueless. It would have been better to educate the public.

NTC should provide a cell number where to report text scams. So far they are not doing it.
