In a swift move to protect its community from digital predators, ABS-CBN Music has released an official statement warning the public against a sophisticated scam targeting fans of the popular girl group BINI.

Scammers have been sending messages and emails that appear official, promising exclusive access or content in exchange for payments and private identification details.

ABS-CBN Music has categorically stated that these communications are completely fraudulent and are not in any way connected to their organization or the management of their artists.

The label emphasized that legitimate transactions and official announcements are only conducted through their verified and recognized social media accounts and official websites.

Fans are strongly urged not to engage with, reply to, or provide any financial information to these suspicious accounts.

"Any messages or emails requesting payment or personal details on Weverse are unauthorized," the statement clarified, reminding the public that official representatives would never ask for such sensitive information through informal digital channels.

As of this reporting, the network’s legal and technical teams are actively coordinating with various online platforms to identify, report, and take down the fake profiles involved in this illegal activity.

This proactive approach aims to safeguard the "Blooms"—the dedicated fanbase of the group—from falling victim to identity theft or financial loss.
