Inquirer warns vs bogus ‘Notice to the Public’ emails

The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) and Inquirer.net disclaim any connection to the fraudulent messages sent via e-mail telling individuals and companies that they will supposedly appear in a “Notice to the Public” ad.

The messages went as far as to use the names of Inquirer executives, giving false email and office addresses.

The company would like to emphasize that these messages are not legitimate and that its advertising transactions, including payments, are done only through official channels by authorized representatives.

Threatening anyone with negative publicity also runs counter to its values and culture.

The Inquirer warns the public against activities that misrepresent the company and has taken steps to alert authorities about this matter.
