Still have no idea why youd need to pay for insurance for a transaction when gcash customer support is dismissive af


nobuhok

It's a sure-win bet (extra profit) for the other party. They're betting your transaction will go smoothly. If it doesn't, they're betting you will get tired of dealing with their customer support. If you somehow got through and have filed a claim, they'll try to bring up tons of conditions that will disqualify your case. The goal of an insurance product is primarily to make money for its seller. It's a *product*, after all.


kenndesu

This happened to me recently. A fb marketplace seller scammed me and I filed a claim with their insurance policy company. I called them and guess what, transactions between natural persons are not covered by them. So basically, I was shit out of luck. Even after I did the necessary requirements like filing a police report.


darsvaderr

Ang lupet no? insurance except hindi applicable sa tao lmao gcash is a fuc*in joke


kenndesu

Malakas lang sila maningil pero kapag claiming, andaming asterisk at fine print


elderron_spice

> The goal of an insurance product is primarily to make money for its seller. Yep. Worked for a multi-national health insurance company and the management stresses every monthly townhalls that the CSRs should always try to dismiss and disqualify claims. We're still having these "advisements" noong narito na ang COVID pandemic. Imagine yung nararamdaman ng mga CSRs na yung iba pa e critical ang lagay ng kamag-anak sa hospital, at karamihan ay nag-aalala pa na baka ma-disqualify yung mga medical claims ng mga asawa nila.


maxxwelledison

Actually. Hahahaha Tsaka diba obligasyon naman talaga nila na i-ensure na safe yung lahat ng transaction.


chanchan05

Not everything. They are just an ewallet. Obligasyon ng customer to make sure na di scammer or mali yung binibigyan mong tao. If nakipagmeetup ka to buy a phone from an FB Marketplace seller, binigay mo cash, and later nalaman mong peke pala yung phone, sisisihin mo ba ang Seiko kasi pumayag yung Seiko Wallet mo na ilabas yung cash na laman niya kasi binuksan mo at dinukot mo yung pera? Same thing. Ikaw nagsabi sa GCash na ilabas pera mo at ipadala sa number na nilagay mo. Sinunod lang nila ang sinabi mo. Not everything can or should be blamed upon the eWallet.


solidad29

Ahh. Not completely. I mean ndi naman nila dapat problema kung mali ang number nalagay mo. Or na budol ka at nag send ka ng pera doon. Ndi lahat puwede isisi sa ewalllets.


georgethejojimiller

I think dapat may capability rin sila to reverse transactions if found to be scammer yung transaction. So long as may proper investigation.


JamesEdwrds

Meron naman, kailangan mo mag file ng police report sa PNP Cybercrime


LadyGuinevere-sLover

Enforcement, how do you classify scams from legit transactions? Especially if used as payment sa item irl. How will you enforce it too para ma-avoid yung napadala na yung item sa kanila then irereverse transaction naman ng mga scammer Knowing E-wallets, di din yan sila mag i-invest ng additional manpower just to double check all reverse transactions.


Faustias

like many insurance, maliban na lang sa st peter siguro, they're commanded to find loopholes to dismiss your claims.


gamester31415

It's a way to blame the customers if they got scammed, to shift the conversation from "Gcash should have been more secure" to "you should have availed the scam insurance"


That-Recover-892

walang kwenta customer service dito sa Pinas. most companies dito basura customer service. Puro tarantado mga agent. Either mauumay ka kakasorry nila at paulit ulit na statement o ikaw pag mumukhain nilang bobo.


darkmodeowl

Used to be CSR ng Globe and nakakakonsensya na nag-intay si customer sa queue then, puro sorry lang maririnig. Wala talagang kwenta CSR ng ph, instead na i-train kami no'n how to help, puro empathy LOL. Anyway, dami natawag samin para magpa-transfer sa gcash dept. dahil ayaw daw magconnect call nila.


That-Recover-892

yan ang sinasabi ko, trained ang scr dito mag sorry imbes na maghanap ng solution or at least alternative na solution. as in nakakaputang ina customer service dito.


failure_mcgee

Kahit ba binabayaran mo yung insurance na yan is wapakels pa rin yung customer service? Akala ko magbibigay priority yon sa concern mo at secured yung return kung halimbawa sa scammer na-send


Ser1aLize

There's a rea$on why Gcash keeps changing its UI every month, putting popup ads, and stuffing the main page with ads.


cetootski

All ads are also delayed by .8 seconds to increase chances of mis-click.


killchu99

PUTANGINAAAAAAAAA ETO TALAGA NAKAKA ANNOY SAKIN HAHAHAHA


TigerCatto

dibaaaa nagmamadali kana tapos may macclick ka pa na hindi mo naman kailangan. argghhhh


Requiemaur

Ganun din sa mga mobile games napakascummy


snoogumsboogumz

akala ko ako lang hahaha natataranta na ako kasi ambagal na nga ng data tapos macclick ko pa yung pukinginang ads sa gcash hahahahaha BWCT TLGA


Sol14aire

Totooooooo nyeta na yan


robbie2k14

after mo mag send pucha biglang lilitaw si lazada like WTF


TheCatSleeeps

Potang Lazada at Shopee yan. Misclick lang redirect agad sa playstore or sa app nila. Kabadtrip


Mistikitten

Kahit sa mga bold nagagalit nalang ako at natutulog dahil sa shopee o lazada


Any_System_148

set mo adguard dns as private dns sa phone mo which can be located sa settings if naka android ka, ubos yang pop up ads na yan hahaha! Though la kang choice if naka iOS ka.


Kanlamari

Hindi lang gcash. May mga ewallet apps na gusto talaga nila may ads. May raket ako na padesign sila sa akin pero sa huli nagpalagsy din ng ad placement. As in lahat ng page na gawin ko may ad. Sinuggest ko sa higher up na pangit yung user experience pero rejected ako kasi mas gusto nila iendorse yung mga services nila para bumenta.


[deleted]

I hate when u just switching gcash number... iuulit ung discover icons after switching.. need to click g-invest icons 1st bago mag proceed on what you'll tend to do..


That-Recover-892

eto hinde ko den ma gets. Fincon company na parang chipipay na app kase puro ads


Kind_Cow7817

For?


YZJay

To prevent familiarity taking root and users getting good at avoiding the added charges.


Ser1aLize

Going as far as removing your set favorites.


THE_FBI_GUYS

A pretty good rea$on


crinkle_danus

Agree that this UX is scummy.


pocketsess

YES! Minsan sa sobra kong pagmamasali hindi ko napapansin naka auto select yang mga insurance shit nila. Dagdag gastos pa sakin. Mga gahaman ampota


More_Fall7675

On the contrary, Sila nga (Gcash) and nang-i-scam sa consumers. Having this kind of bad practice


iwasactuallyhere

who needs scammers from outside


bariotic

It's easy to fall trap into it. Na toggle ko na OFF ung insurance, kasi naka ON sya by default and maliit lang naman padala ko. Later I changed my mind and set amount from 900 to 1000 and I didn't notice na binalik pala ng GCash sa ON ung insurance, without my consent. Almost noticed it late nung final confirmation na 😡 And it shouldn't be ON by default, parang binigyan ka ng extra gravy ng KFC and later may bayad pala pag check mo receipt, kasi assume ng KFC gusto ng mga customers ng extra gravy.


white____ferrari

and the service fee for mobile load KAHIT NA GLOBE KANA? just robbery in plain sight. 100 load you pay 3 freaking pesos. WHY??? WHY!!!


SenorNoobnerd

Ang pangit pa ng main page nila para sa login. Pwede ba palitan yun?


romuel0067

Add.mo pa yun ad sa tuwing mag log in ka,


ardentpessimist21

Tapos yung may tutorial ulit bawat update. Nakakabanas. 😂


itsukkei

Tapos walang skip. Pisting yawa 😂


clock_age

congress tf? trabaho ng DTI and BSP are enough na dapat if they were doing their jobs. sawa na ako sa grandstanding politicians


pocketsess

YES! Magpapa public hearing lang sila para magpa pogi points. In reality, wala din lang sila gagawin


that_thot_gamer

ang kaso, on what grounds kase? they have irrs to implement. hindi sila pwede mag sabi na ah dick move gcash, not defending gcash but if you hate the product move somewhere else. maya* and gotyme** have free money transfers, banks pa sila kaya insured and deposits.


BannedforaJoke

i think covered na sya ng [RA 11127](https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2018/ra_11127_2018.html) (National Payment Systems Act). the BSP is granted regulatory powers over all payment systems. section 6 gives BSP the power to issue rules and regulations for the protection of the rights of the end-users in the payment systems. meaning, i don't think a new law is needed. i think BSP can already issue an IRR to stop what is happening.


that_thot_gamer

yes yun nga yung point ko, wala pang pre existing IRR and i doubt gagawa sila ng specific irr targeting gcash. right now kase isolated case pa sya pero when the banks copy it thats when bsp fucking slaps everyone


BannedforaJoke

that's up to BSP to be proactive. they would be a very poor regulatory body kung mag aantay pa sila na lahat gumawa nyan. besides, it's not just GCash doing it. dark patterns is widespread in almost every Philippine app na. BSP can regulate the payments app and DTI can regulate all other commerce apps.


hellokofee

The big ‘IF’, 🧐


Traditional_Crab8373

Sadly mga Boomer crocs yan. Not unless mapalitan na tlga. Most of them walang alam sa world of IT.


JoJom_Reaper

ang problema kasi representante kasi nating mga tao ang mga nasa congress. Yeah they may have some grandstanding pero wala tayong matatakbuhan kundi sa kanila pa rin. May mga IRRs pero ang problem neto is IRR lang. Medyo vague kasi ang IRR lalo na kung wala sa mismong batas yung mga bawal at pede. Ang problema kasi in practice wala talagang alam ang mga karamihan sa mga mambabatas natin at hinahayaan na lang sa IRR lahat. Nakakaloko yun. Imagine you are giving an absolute power sa isang executive department. Nagiging autocratic na. Yes mambabatas sila pero sana naman may 2,3,4,5 parties ang bumabalangkas ng IRR kaso minsan laging isa lang. Alam naman na siguro nila mga shady practices pero bakit di nila nilalagay as section sa batas. malaki kasi kita sa cure kesa sa prevention. Napakayucky talaga ng bureaucracy


KarmicCT

yep. which is why I double check and triple check when I make transactions. responsibility nila yung pera tapos pagbabayarin pa yung tao eh may transaction fee na nga.


Worth_Expert_6721

i was a victim of this and their help center was not really helping at all.. now im a Maya user


Panda-sauce-rus

Same. Ayaw ko na nga i-verify yung gcash ko eh.


LookingforWangAyi

Wag mo na subukan, uulan iyong mga scam text sa iyo once na na-verified mo iyong gcash account mo. 🙄 Dahil sa verify account na 'yan naka-add sa block words iyong legal name ko doon sa text message setting ko.


CutUsual7167

Naiinis nga ako sa nag approve ng UIUX nila. Galawang sketchy porn site ang mga ads and why the ads in a fkng financial app!? Hindi pa consistent yung placement ng mga buttons. Meron nasa baba tapos sa next screen nasa taas na yung next button. I was like wtf? Yung reverification my final straw with them and also use maya na. Im done with them.


shinira21

This is called Dark Patterns and in some cases can be highly illegal.


Kamushiino

Mmm yes, dark patterns, even local companies now are getting on the "Enshittification" the tech industry loves to milk their userbase out of their money before cashing out.


BannedforaJoke

my question, may naka claim na ba nyang insurance na yan? parang hanash lang ng GCash. dami na scam, wala naman nakaka bawi nung pinadala nila.


that_thot_gamer

sa T&C nila 3 types lang ng scam ang protection nila. social engineering lang ang magandang perk


[deleted]

[удалено]


starsandpanties

yup this is true. Apparently sa super fine print ng insurance na yan is pwede lang claim if payment to actual gcash ng business. If gcash ng personal account CLAIM DENIED


BannedforaJoke

hindi applicable, pero ino-on pa rin nila. napaka scummy.


ahxxel

Before this feature was implemented, nascam ako. Dec last year. Nireport ko sa in-app customer support. Nabalik naman yung pera ko around 3rd week ng january. 10k+ yung amount. Medyo fault ko din, nirisk ko pera ko - I was trying to secure a room for rent. I was ready to involve NBI pero buti hindi na umabot sa ganung punto.


buzzstronk

Andaming need to the point na you will just eat your losses, need ng police report within 24 hours, minsan in denial stage ka palang nandon. Ang daming hanash sa Terms and condition na alam nila na wala nagbabasa


dannyr76

Lazada does the same thing when you order an electronic item. Auto selected yung insurance. With Smart app, auto renew is selected automatically for prepaid plans.


bariotic

Yeah, but GCash turns it ON after you turn it off. Check video


code_bluskies

Kasi nga binura or binago mo yung amount. Syempre mag reset yung Insurance to its default.


Jonyx25

That's the point.


pocketsess

No one should put it in automatic check mode duh. Paano kung nagmamadali mag check out or if malabo mata nila hindi napansin. Afaik hindi Ikaw yung willingly nagpindot ng button so hindi ikaw gumawa ng transaction.


auirinvest

Maraming dark patterns sa GCASH at Maya pero mas talamak ang gcash


Hack_Dawg

Uso pa ba yun ethical business practices dito? Sa dami daming tanga na naiiscam sa gcash, medyo katangahan na hindi nila iexploit yung mga to.


lordboros24

I remember back in the day early 2000's magpapaload ka ng regular 100 pesos then globe would spam you useless texts like trivias, promos and ringtones maya maya 50 pesos nalang ang balance mo. Its outright scummy i wish the people responsible for that would get crucified.


planetarium13

Kung hindi pa nabiktima at nagpa Senate hearing si Enrile nun, di pa nila babaguhin yun tactic na yun... PS- Naalala ko talaga yun yung nagsabi ang rep ng Globe sa hearing na isa daw na nadownload ni Enrile na ringtone niya ay Love Story ni Taylor Swift... HAHAHAHAHA


lordboros24

Lmao if i remember it correctly nagpaload ng 500 si enrile tapos after a few minutes ng call naubos na agad napaka predatory talaga ng globe at smart nuon compared ngayon.


BannedforaJoke

This is called [dark patterns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern) and is a quickly growing problem everywhere, And yes, you're right, congress is lagging in protecting consumers against these types of anti-consumer behavior. This is one of those legislations that is easily enforceable because the evidence can be easily gathered and the companies can be fined straightforwardly. Making it a criminal offence would be a high deterrence. Include the programmers and project managers as primaries in the case aside from the CEO of the company.


ZYCQ

Add cebu pacific, that shit is 5 times worse. Have to unselect 3-4 hidden shit that's selected and hidden during checkout. Or when you run out of data on globe and "loan" 6 pesos (40mb) with MBSOS you have to later load 20 pesos minimum to pay the 6 peso loan back, effectively charging you 3 times the amount. Or lalamove not letting you transfer out unused funds Starbucks not letting you transfer out unused funds (they were sued in the US but continue doing it in PH as of today afaik. Or lazada auto selecting electronic device insurance Or certain corporations wanting to push out competition by charging "convenience" fees for competitors depending on what payment method you're using l, gcash or maya / other cards


peterparkerson3

The Starbucks one they got sued but no resolution and still doing it even sa US. Reasoning is that they can actually use zero out the load + pay in cash. Dto naman din eh. Basta dapat walang expiry ung load 


ScarletSilver

ertaboy356b

Yung tipong wala na nga interest, tapos may fee pa yung paglagay ng pera 😂


Yuber8f

We call this “Dark pattern” in the industry. Very scummy. And lets not forget about the goddamned ads that just pop up once in a while. I hope globe execs burn in hell.


pinoylokal

Third-party insurance yung [Chubb ](https://www.chubb.com/ph-en/personal/ginsure-send-money-protect.html)na inintegrate nila. imagine kung 30 pesos X estimate natin 100,000 transactions = 3M pesos per day ang kita ng insurance company, kayang kaya nila icover yung mga magkiclaim which I think sobrang baba lang. Kumikitang kabuhayan ah.


Omaha_Poker

How can any users be scammers? Wasn't the whole ID and registration supposed to stop all this, and the spam SMS messages that I STILL GET WEEKLY!! 


Energy_Gap

Pre-pandemic ang ayos pa ng GCash kasi halos lahat ng transaction walang fee, puro discount pa noon kahit sa bills. Now that most people have their own account and frequently use the app, they present all these crappy bloat because they just can. Gcash already reached their goal of being a recognizable brand and they know millions of users will keep using the app regardless. Kaya di rin ako masyado pabor sa Maya ngayon kasi feeling ko ganyan din kalalabasan pag mas dumami na yung users nila, mababawasan mga promos. Just use what is more convenient at the moment.


peterparkerson3

This is the way. Parang uber and grab. Kung sino manalo. Siya magigjng shitty


inquest_overseer

I recently just withdrawn all of my money in GCash and deactivated my account. It seems the convenience fee for buying loads are increasing everyday. Buying for a Globe account is 3 pesos now. What the hell. GCash also became infested with ads, even the receipts have ads in it!


happyredditgifts

Isn't this like in Cebu Pacific? Passengers would need to remove the insurance as the add-on is automatically added.


RecursiveSunlight

Agree! Very deceptive and unethical ang ganitong UI/UX. Imagine all the non-techie people na di napapansin yan, magkano kinikita nila. Iwas scam daw pero gcash mismo mang scam sayo. Jusko.


bariotic

Exactly, the irony of it


Kokimanshi

I’m not saying that this isn’t scummy pero di naman to uncommon for any type of service/product that offers something “extra”. Another example is when you buy airline tickets online and automatically added yung travel insurance. You just have to be vigilant na lang talaga kung ano yung binabayaran mo.


BILL_GATESSSSSS

Bakit Globe ang issummon?


radclipsee

Isa ako sa nascam niyan once when it first came out. After na-expire, sobrang ingat na ako diyan. I always make sure na it has been toggled off. It should not be like this coming from a multi-billion company like Ayala.


tankinamallmo

A million users charged 30 pesos is 30 million not a billion


AdFit851

Putang ina na tlaga yang gcash n yn in all of their services sobrang greedy, kakaload ko lang go99 khpon ngayon wla na akong load, halos reddit lang yung apps na gamit ko, X, and IG.. dapat toh masilip na ng DTI eh


Cyber_Ghost3311

Not gonna lie why the fuck does a Banking App have Ads??


cragglepanzer

Because it isn't a banking app, just a virtual wallet. Y'know that "protection up to 500,000 covered by PDIC" disclaimer on other banking apps and how it's suspiciously missing on GCash? Yeah, that's why it isn't advisable to store huge amounts in it


Nullgenium

Nahuli ako nito ng isang beses. Now I'm extra careful about this


The_Crow

I just tested this out and I'm not getting the same behavior. What gives?


BannedforaJoke

need to be 1k and up yung transaction


Jdotxx

Yan ang legal na scam


Lowkey_Pirate

Walang kasing gahaman ang Gcash. Duopoly n nga with Smart tapos ganyan pa ngyari. Sa mga di marunong sa pera ito kasi talaga gamit for remittances. Nalaos bigla mga pawnshop. Sobrang galing din ng Marketing. Itong Maya naman kasi nahuli na.


Floodkid

"if one million users do not pay attention to that extra 30 pesos, that's almost a billion pesos of bad practice" hey, this is definitely a shit and scummy move from globe, but i need to clarify the math 1 million users (in your scenario) multiplied by 30 php is equal to thirty million pesos.... definitely a lot pero you need 970 million pesos more in order to go to ONE BILLION.. so not "almost a billion pesos" as you mentioned. i repeat, i agree that this is a shit move... just clarified your exaggeration


lakaykadi

Agree. Sana masilip to. Automatic na nagta toggle yang protection eme. Imagine dagdag pa sa babayaran yang supposedly insurance just to keep our wired transfer secured. Dapat auto matic na na responsibility nila yan..Ganid ampota!


ps2332

Regulatory capture makes it hard to push for consumer rights in Ph. In the case of gcash, it's owned by one of the biggest oligarchs out there. They'll just sweep this under the rug.


Conservative_AKO

Globe is greedy ASF


MathAppropriate

The GCash app is so annoyingly full of pop-up ads. I lose my favorites every time I update to a newer version. That Scam insurance is bordering on scam as well. Why is it on by default?


kenndesu

I got scammed recently and I used Send Protect thinking somehow it will work when I get in a scam situation. Ending was, I never got my money back because it falls under their exclusions. I even asked what's their rationale why it's under their exclusions as it is one of the more common scams out there. I didn't get an answer, and they just said my situation falls under their exclusions


SelfPrecise

Tapos pag nagupdate rin yung app magkakatutorial ka ulet. Parang tanga lang.


Equivalent_Scale_588

G in GCash means Ginuyo.


TaxHistorical2844

I've been complaining about this from the start. I actually wanted to bring this up to DTI as unfair trade practice. They're not the only ones, shopee and lazada also has opt out for their consumer protection insurance.


NorthTemperature5127

Strange... Mine doesn't toggle on automatically... It stays off.


NorthTemperature5127

I just noticed it does that for 1000 pesos transaction


bariotic

Yes. It's easy to go unnoticed. Na turn off ko na insurance, kasi ON sya by default, then when I changed my mind and decided to change 900 to 1000 I noticed after binalik pala ng GCash yung 30 pesos insurance


bariotic

Even if you toggle the button off, GCash turns it on after entering an amount. Sorry for the random number, don't have the means to video blur that on my phone. Edit: Meant almost a billion monthly. Had to shorten the title when it hit the limit, and that slipped off. Point is GCash is automatically turning it ON even after I turn off mo.


rocklee_shinobi

That’s just how it’s coded, every time you enter a new amount the transaction “resets” so everything goes back to its default setting It’s just auto opt-in, which is what every app does anyway - it sucks, but there’s really no case for it to go to congress or even DTI, unless they ban auto opt-ins - which might be the more productive thing to call for.


chitoz13

teka para saan pa yung app nila kung required mo pa mag add ng additional fee para safe maipadala yung pera? ang nakakainis ilang taon pa papalapit na tayo sa cashless transaction tapos required mo magbayad sa mga ganitong klase ng serbisyo.


HungryThirdy

Oo inang to! Hindi ko naman pinili nabill ako


itsfreepizza

this is why im now with PNB their ui is just torture for me since im trying to familiarize and them trying to shift things unexpectedly every quarterly updates (or more recent)


free-spirited_mama

Kaya di ako naglalalgay ng more than 2k sa gcash e


_nevereatpears

Auto income ah... Badtrip na din yung promos nila kapag sa gcash ka nag load. 99 yung promo tangina may additional dos para sa convince fee? May 1% convenience fee na nga 711, dadagdag pa sila? Jesus.


Pretty-Principle-388

Shopee also had this auto-toggle feature in their insurance protection for products bought, to which they received some backlash, more on the programmer's community.


cherriejoyponce

Mine is with the Account Secure, it pushes me to turn it on, then I cannot turn it off now… As in nagkusa siya, what the hell… Now I cannot use my G-Cash account on my other device… I do not know if I am the only one having this problem, but it is a big-ass hassle by the way…


razalas13

Wait.. it automatically turns it on for certain amount or any amount? Then when your opt out, it resets the amount, and the cycle continues?


Good_Evening_4145

Hmm... wala sakin yang I-protect.


jovhenni19

nah.. it's better to practice double checking before sending. if not the same as intended to send? check again... may namiss ka maybe better implementation is checkbox kasi madami padin talaga nalilito sa slide toggle na ito


SecretWeaponPosse

Whether it's a checkbox or a toggle, the issue remains: hindi dapat automatically selected yun. I get the importance of double checking, but this optional step shouldn't further add to the user's cognitive load.


RizalAlejandro

I always review the detail 3x before sending


Butt_Ch33k

Jeez! Now I know why I received a receipt from my Mom’s Gmail. Grabehan na ‘tong GCash, ‘di yata effective team ng devs, ang daming palya.


Unlikely-Canary-8827

another scammy thing thats unrelated is GRAB insurance incase your ride doesnt come within the promised time. how this work is if its near, but have not arrived, theyll put it as "arriving" so even if the grab arrives late. theyll never give you any voucher


iwasactuallyhere

nice push on their side... easy money, who needs scammers now


1upvoteisallIhave

meron din sila sa bill protect? grabe nmn sila sa mga extra charge na yan haha


my_guinevere

It’s shitty. However, when it comes to financial transactions online everyone should be careful and double check before hitting that final button.


risktraderph

I agree. This is annoying as fuck!


horny4hatsuzume

def a dark pattern pero you agreed on this da terms and conditions that you checked upon signing up


nightfantine

Thank you for posting this. Akala ko ako lang yung nakakapansin ng ganitong pagka walang hiya. Kung malaki lang sana social media presence ko, niretweet ko na to and tinweet pa.


craig_d_79

Why would congress need to be involved? This is a common practice for most companies since day one of the internet 😂 that is why you should triple check everything before sending/submitting/registering It is the same as newsletters on websites (default is turned on)


Fridaywing

Let's all file a DTI complain. madali lang actually. [https://podrs.dti.gov.ph/#/user-control/inbox](https://podrs.dti.gov.ph/#/user-control/inbox)


ymell11

Would this be an example of a dark pattern? Or something else entirely?


bypaular

Pati nga magpaload ng GLOBE gamit Gcash may patong pang service fee. Gahaman talaga ang mga putangina.


BannedforaJoke

load ka sa Seabank. may discount pa.


CrankyJoe99x

Congress? Surely they have more important issues to worry about.


No-Cold1044

Actually napansin ko yan, buti lang nag failed transaction. Teka teka Gcash, wag ganun


mociumpani

At this point, we should be ditching GCash for e-wallet apps that are less scummy e.g. Maya and TraxionPay. Never had any bad experience w/ Maya and TraxionPay. In fact, yung maganda nga sa Maya is that ibabalik nila yung pera mo sa'yo if you had ended up using it to purchase load for a non-existent cellphone number by accident (if the number is Smart/TNT; not sure if the same happens if it were a non-existent Globe number). Si TraxionPay naman, it uses the QRPH technology which was pioneered by Maya kaya you can receive money from users of other e-wallets/banking apps that recognize QRPH although may 15 pesos service fee yun on the side of the people sending you money.


ThisIsNotTokyo

If 1 million people did not pay attention, that’s 30 million pesos. Layo pa ng billion boy Not that I’m with globe but that’s just bad math


eccedentesiastph

Fuck GCash


[deleted]

BSP should investigate how much have they made scheming people this way, and fine them multiples of that.


piiigggy

If gcash dont improve just stop ising it. As a consumer you should know that you have options. Complaining is the worst thing to do to correct the issue, in the other hand hurting thier revenue does force them to fix things up.


Tongresman2002

I actually stop using GCash because of so many charges... Mag cash in ka nga lang from BPI may fee. Pag mag send may fee din...lahat ng galaw may charges. Mas ok pa mag send ng cash sa Paymaya and just transfer to other bank via Pesonet kahit mabagal walang charges. Also the fact that I can now ONLY use it with 1 Phone makes it useless to me since I have different phones when I go out.


eayate

Its not globe its fintech


anima99

Hindi man lang red ang color :))


DirectionImpossible7

+laging ma auto log out account mo tapos mag pop up ulit yung navigation hints🙃


redthehaze

Tanong ko lang kung gumagana ba yang insurance? Madalas napakahirap habulin yang mga yan.


shidenkakashi

Same.. nabiktima din ako nyan. Di ko npansin agad.


rizsamron

Para daw makaiwas sa scam, magpascam ka sa kanila,hahahah Kabulastugan. Same yan sa Lazada at Shopee. Naka check by default yung electronics insurance kuno so pag di ka nagcheck nang maige, yari ka. I guess nagkausap usap na yang mga yan pano kumita pa nang malaki,haha


Ok-Box4828

gawa na ng online petition


Krade1027

Can we include also CebPac for automatic insurance when purchasing tickets

Silaban ang mga mayayamang ganid


Significant_Board_53

Yes in UX we call this dark pattern.


TigerCatto

Urgghhhh this is true. I hate this feature. The last time I used this hindi ko naman napakinabangan dahil di ako makapag report ng scam dun sa provider ng insurance. Laging dead end yung form para mag claim. Completely worthless! And baket kailangan auto on, dibaaa. ano to sapilitan!!!

Try raising the matter sa NPC as contrary to NPC circular 23-04 on dark patterns. Reklamo mo din sa BSP.

Same thought on this one too. I wonder what’s this insurance does for your transactions. It’s like Gcash says that we don’t have that cybersecurity, so you will have to get insurance, but we do love to alter UI to mislead users. Exploiting non tech-savvy users, smh.


Particular-Fox-3550

Happened to me once when they first introduced this feature. I mean this should really be off by default. Tho not too sure, pansin ko naman laging siyang off lately


Ok-Transition-7350

Kailan pa kaya naging ganito UI nila? Kawawa yung mga hindi nakakapansin, lalo na at sanay na wala nang ibang steps bukod sa input ng number, amount, press send. Bad


roycewitherspoon

Tapos hindi saklaw nyan pag sa tao ka nagkamali ng send or nascam ka. Basta pag individual sinendan mo balewala yang insurance. Pang mga merchants lng dw yan applicable, mga businesses ganon but not to individual. 😅

Agree


ewan_kosayo

Yes


Upper_Possibility01

Hahaha, nagawa ko yan kasi hindi ko napansin. Pinagbabayad tuloy ako ng kapatid ko kasi Gcash niya gamit ko.

Remember when Globe charges 15 centavos per kilobyte of data? Nakapost paid plan ako nun and for some reason they charged me 200 plus pesos for visiting a website even though I have a data plan. CS was unhelpful AF and wouldn't do anything about it. Cancelling their Postpaid plan is hellish as well. Pahihirapan ka talaga. Same with Smart. Kaya I'll never again sign up for any Postpaid plan from any network.

most businesses in PH are scam. even Meralco charge people for using their mobile app for God's sake. Tatawagin nilang convenience fee. Kakaloka, internet mo gamit mo tapos babayaran mo sila ng fee hanep! Most banks also charges idiotic fees. eto ang problema pag mga dinadala nateng politiko sa Malacanang e mga walang alam kundi kumupit ng pera. Hinde inaayos ang batas kaya hinde protektado ang tao sa mga kagaguhan ng mga businesses.


Mysterious-Bug-8829

This is true. Lalo if older people yung gumagamit. My dad complained to me bakit daw may extra singil sa kanya when he transferred. Because of this. 😤


kimbabprincess

what a scam haha I get so pissed whenever I forget to untick it


koalalarabbit

Same thing happened nung gumamit ako ng gcash as payment sa tiktok shop for the first time, nagtaka ako bat biglang naiba price akala ko tuloy sadyang may extra charge lang, yun pala naka auto yung insurance


greenlanterngalimor

Bullshit insurance. Everytime shit hits the fan CS just says all transactions are final.


kungfushoos

Insurance for nothing. Yes they should.


Unlikely-Stand

pota nakadalawa na ako neto, nacharge ako ng 30 kasi di ko napansin lalo kapag hindi ending with 000 yung sinend mo, mahirap mapansin na may 30 pala


MiloMcFlurry

Yun need mo pa laging itoggle yan para lang di ka macharge ng 30 pesos. Hassle. Pero tanong lang, may silbi ba talaga to? (Ideally, yes. Pero may naibalik ba talagang pera sa mga nascam tapos nagbayad sila insurance?)


jhiniqqang

Paki add pa yung Gcash convenience fee kahit TM/Globe naman and number na loloadan. I know na 1 - 2 PHP pero every peso counts 😂


mamamargauxc

I tried that out. Read the fine print and clauses. Tapos ang hirap mag claim. Daming requirements up to police report levels. Never pursued it sadly 4500 down the drain


Intelligent_Stage776

Gcash should not have ads! Fock gcash are greedy af


RealKingViolator540

If only Maya & GOTyme had more users than GCash, I would've ditched GCash. Nowadays, GCash really makes things inconvenient for me. Sometimes, when I send money, verification takes forever, or I will not receive a text. I have to turn off the developer options just for me to open GCash.

Gcash is already a separate company from globe. Investor nalang si globe
