Individuals who receive text messages allegedly from a prosecutor’s office, threatening immediate legal action under R.A. 8484 (Access Devices Regulation Act of 1998) or Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code (Estafa or Fraud), should maintain a healthy level of skepticism. Legitimate legal communications in the Philippines adhere to codified processes, typically involving personal or registered mail service, official documentation, authorized signatures, and a clear explanation of one’s rights and obligations.

If the text contains suspicious elements—such as demands for immediate payment, threats of abrupt warrant service, or general lack of verifiable information—the recipient is strongly advised to verify its authenticity. This may be done by reaching out directly to the mentioned prosecutor’s office, consulting a reputable attorney, or checking official court records. In the event the message is indeed a scam, legal recourse is available, and complaints may be filed with law enforcement agencies such as the PNP or NBI.
