Karla Estrada denied that her son, Daniel Padilla, was asking for a GCash number from his fans online.
Through her Instagram page, Karla warned the netizens about the individual pretending to be her son to ask for money.
According to her, the said individual was directly messaging random fans of Daniel and claiming that they won a giveaway launched by the actor.
The fake account will then ask for a GCash number, and even promise P5,000 cash.
Karla urged the netizens not to entertain anyone pretending to be her son.
It can be recalled that important details, including mobile numbers, may be used by bad elements in their activities.
Security experts advised the netizens not to easily share their contact numbers, especially if it was connected to their e-wallet accounts.
Meanwhile, Daniel was still part of the discussion on social media due to the man being linked to his former girlfriend, Kathryn Bernardo.
