Rafael Pamittan viral video claims identified as phishing scam

Claims regarding an alleged intimate video involving Rafael Cruz Pamittan, a Filipino youth public servant involved in the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) system, are circulating widely on social media and messaging apps. However, there is no credible evidence, official statement, or news report confirming the existence of such a video.

Cybersecurity experts have warned that these rumors are being used to facilitate phishing attacks and scams. Many posts promising access to the alleged footage contain suspicious links that lead to malware downloads, fraudulent “unlock” sites, or pages designed to harvest user login credentials. Authorities and observers advise users to avoid clicking these links to prevent security breaches.
