"DCB_ASSOCIATION" being sent by a phone to the number 5495

-
A mobile phone is very essential for daily transactions as of today. It serves as an ID, with some IDs now being built into apps, and our SIM number serves as our identity number and E-Wallet account number. If you have received messages indicating transactions you didn't make, it is really alarming.

"It has an unknown message on my phone. The message reads: "DCB_ASSOCIATION:WCKFIU3QV7ETTPCEEQSBSRTKBSVG5L9CS" and was sent by my phone to 5495. Is this a scam? Has my phone been hacked by someone?"

Keeping your phone safe is like securing your identity. Don't ignore unusual activities on your phone. Always be vigilant and address any issues that are bothering you.

Has your phone been hacked because of the DCB_ASSOCIATION message? When I first encountered this, it really bothered me. I always keep my phone out of reach of others and avoid installing unfamiliar apps. I regularly check my phone's permission settings to ensure I don't miss any potential cyber attacks. So, this message really bothers me. How do you solve DCB_ASSOCIATION messages?

DCB stands for Direct Carrier Billing, which allows customers to use their airtime balance, whether they have a postpaid or prepaid SIM, to purchase products or subscriptions online from vendors that accept Mastercard payments. This is a convenient way to transact online even if you don't have a credit or debit card.

The DCB_ASSOCIATION with an authentication ID is an identity code of your mobile carrier associated with the online transaction you made, especially on Google Play using Google Pay. It was sent by your carrier to the four-digit numbers to validate your transaction.

Is there anything to worry about? No, this message is legitimate and nothing to be concerned about. However, if you want to disconnect your mobile number or Gcash Account from Google Play, simply go to your Google Account and navigate to the Payments & Subscriptions section. Click "Manage your payment methods," and you will be redirected to payments.google.com (Gpay). In this section, you can remove connected accounts and add new payment methods for online use.
