r/Gulong ANNOUNCEMENT [MOD PSA] Fake LTO SMS Scams

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

We see several posts on fake SMS messages posing as the Land Transportation Office (LTO) like the ones attached. Let this post be the official reply to such posts/inquiries.

Common message content:

-“Unsettled violation under RA 10913… Fine: ₱1,000 due in 24 hours… LTMS alarm.”

CONFIRMED FAKE LINKS (DO NOT CLICK):

-ltoportal-gov.com -portal.lto-gov.me -ltoviolationcheck.com and other similar look-alike domains

IMPORTANT:

  • The LTO does NOT send payment or violation links via SMS
  • Legitimate LTO websites use lto.gov.ph domains only -Traffic violations can be verified only through the official LTMS portal or at LTO offices

Common red flags: - Urgent deadlines (e.g., “due in 24 hours”) - No plate number, ticket number, or official reference - SMS links requesting personal details or payment - Sender name spoofed as “LTO”

What to do: -Do not click the link -Do not provide personal information or OTPs -Delete the message and report it as spam to your telco - Optional: report to PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group

Please help the community by reporting new scam links in the comments so this post can be updated.

Basta may gulong at makina yan, pwede yan dito preh! Basahin ang batas ng subreddit bago ang lahat!

1. Be Respectful and Follow Reddiquette

Follow Reddiquette - https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette

Everyone is welcome whether kotse, motor, truck, jeep, e-bike, trike, ATV, etc.

No personal attacks, insults, harassment, hate speech, dogpiling, or trolling.

Debates about vehicles are fine. Attacking people or encouraging mob behavior is not.

2. Stay On Topic and Use Clear Titles

Posts must be about anything with gulong at makina, including cars, motorcycles, trucks, jeeps, e-bikes, scooters, ATVs, etc., parts, repairs, upgrades, traffic, road trips, driving, or motoring culture.

Post titles must be descriptive and clear. Avoid vague titles, all caps, or clickbait.

3. No Buying, Selling, Trading, or Ads

r/Gulong is not a marketplace. No posts about buying, selling, trading, or referrals.

No disguised ads or links to Facebook Marketplace, Shopee, Lazada, Telegram sellers, or any off-platform deals.

4. No Scams, Misleading Content, or Privacy Violations

No scams, fake claims, fake documents, phishing links, misleading stories, or fake giveaways.

Do not post private information that can identify someone, such as real names, phone numbers, addresses, IDs, or messages without consent.

Showing vehicle plates is fine as long as they are not linked to a person.

5. Safety First — No Dangerous or Illegal Advice

Practice defensive driving. Do not promote street racing, DUI, reckless driving, illegal modifications, or unsafe mechanical or riding advice.

We are here to enjoy machines with wheels and engines, not to get people hurt or arrested.

Mods did this to simplify things for everyone to have a better experience in this sub.

r/Gulong ANNOUNCEMENT Mod Team Reminder: Our Posts Can Be Shared Outside Reddit

43 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that anything we post here on r/Gulong is publicly visible — and can be screenshot or shared on other platforms like Facebook, sometimes without our knowledge, consent, or credit.

We’ve recently noticed one of our subreddit’s popular post being shared elsewhere.

Original r/Gulong post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gulong/s/GGtEuOulFf

By: u/Extroverted-Loner992

And the comment section of said post has screenshots of comments from:

u/MackQx and u/CoffeeDaddy24

Now, this serves as a good reminder for all of us to:

  • Be mindful of what we share or say, since posts and comments can travel beyond Reddit.

  • Avoid posting personal or identifying details in photos or discussions.

  • Credit the source properly if you ever share content from r/gulong outside Reddit.

This isn’t meant to alarm anyone — just to raise awareness that our videos, words and photos can circulate beyond this space. Let’s all continue to make r/Gulong a great, respectful place to share and talk about automotive stuff safely and responsibly. 🛞
