How to avoid Game Top-Up Scams in the Philippines (2026)
The gaming community in the Philippines is massive, but unfortunately, so is the number of scammers trying to steal accounts and money.
Whether you play Mobile Legends, Genshin Impact, or Valorant, you need to know how to spot a fake top-up service. Here are the Top 3 Red Flags to watch out for:
🚩 Red Flag 1: They ask for your password. A legitimate top-up provider will never need your password. Modern top-up infrastructure only requires your public Player ID (like a UID or Riot ID). If a seller asks for your login details or social media linked to your game, it is a phishing attempt.
🚩 Red Flag 2: Prices that are "Too Good to be True." While providers like LootSync offer genuine discounts, if you see a Facebook page offering 10,000 ML Diamonds for ₱100, it is a scam. These pages take your money and immediately block you.
🚩 Red Flag 3: No verifiable reviews or transparent identity. Scammers constantly create new, anonymous Facebook pages. Always check a page's transparency history. How long have they been active? Do they have real, written reviews from actual profiles?
The Safe Way to Top-Up: Look for Meta Verified When choosing a provider, look for the blue Meta Verified checkmark. This means Facebook has legally verified the identity of the business owner using government-issued IDs.
