If a Facebook Page, TikTok account, Instagram profile, Telegram channel, or YouTube channel is being used to promote a fake online casino, “color game,” sports betting site, e-wallet top-up scheme, or gambling investment scam, the fastest practical goal is usually account/page removal plus evidence preservation. In the Philippines, you do this by reporting the page directly to the platform, documenting the scam properly, reporting it to the right cybercrime and gaming authorities, and—if money or identity documents were involved—asking your bank or e-wallet to preserve or freeze the trail as early as possible.

Online gambling scam pages are dangerous because they disappear quickly. A page may be taken down, renamed, sold, or replaced by a new page within hours. That is why the first rule is: capture evidence before you report, then report through several channels at the same time.

What Counts as a Social Media Page Used by Online Gambling Scammers?

A social media page may be considered scam-related when it is used to deceive people into betting, depositing money, giving personal information, or joining an illegal gambling operation.

Common examples in the Philippines include:

Fake Facebook Pages using the name or logo of PAGCOR, licensed casinos, celebrities, influencers, or known betting brands
“Online casino agents” asking users to deposit through GCash, Maya, bank transfer, crypto, or QR codes
Pages promising “sure win,” “withdrawal guaranteed,” “daily income,” or “casino investment”
Fake customer support pages pretending to help recover locked gambling accounts
TikTok or Facebook Live accounts promoting color games, slots, sabong-style betting, or sports betting through private links
Telegram or Messenger groups where admins pressure users to deposit more before they can withdraw winnings
Pages using copied PAGCOR certificates, fake business permits, or fabricated screenshots of payouts

A page does not have to successfully scam someone before it can be reported. If it is impersonating a legitimate entity, promoting fraudulent gambling, collecting deposits, or directing users to unlicensed gambling links, it should be reported early.

Why Removal Is Not Always Immediate

Many victims ask: “Why can’t the police or PAGCOR just delete the page?”

The practical answer is that social media platforms are private companies, often based outside the Philippines. A Philippine victim can report the page, and Philippine authorities can investigate or request preservation of data, but actual removal usually happens through the platform’s internal rules, law enforcement escalation channels, or legal process.

This matters because under Philippine law, authorities must also respect due process and constitutional limits. In Disini v. Secretary of Justice, the Supreme Court reviewed the Cybercrime Prevention Act and struck down certain provisions, including concerns involving government restriction or blocking of computer data without proper safeguards. The decision is an important reminder that online takedowns must still follow lawful procedure, not arbitrary deletion by government officials. See the Supreme Court decision in Disini v. Secretary of Justice, G.R. No. 203335, February 18, 2014. (Supreme Court E-Library)

In practice, this means removal usually requires one or more of these:

Route	What it does	Best for
Platform report	Asks Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, or Telegram to remove the page under its rules	Fast removal of fake pages, impersonation, scam ads, and deceptive accounts
PAGCOR report	Alerts the gaming regulator that a page or website is pretending to be licensed or promoting illegal online gambling	Fake gambling brands, fake PAGCOR certificates, unlicensed gaming sites
PNP ACG / NBI Cybercrime report	Starts a cybercrime record and possible investigation	Fraud, identity theft, hacking, e-wallet scams, organized scam pages
CICC / Hotline 1326	Government cybercrime complaint intake and referral channel	Urgent online scam reporting and guidance
Bank/e-wallet report	Preserves transaction trail and may restrict suspicious recipient accounts	GCash, Maya, bank transfer, card, QR, or fund transfer scams
NPC complaint	Addresses misuse of personal data, ID photos, selfies, or identity documents	Fake accounts using your name, photo, ID, or personal information

Legal Basis in the Philippines

Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012: RA 10175

The main law for online scam activity is the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, Republic Act No. 10175. It covers cyber-related offenses such as computer-related fraud, identity theft, illegal access, and other crimes committed through information and communications technology. (Lawphil)

For gambling scam pages, the most relevant provisions are usually:

Computer-related fraud — when deception is carried out through digital systems
Computer-related identity theft — when another person’s identity, photo, account, or identifying information is misused online
Aiding or abetting cybercrime — when a person helps operate, promote, or facilitate the scam
Section 6 of RA 10175 — when a crime already punishable under the Revised Penal Code or special laws is committed through ICT, the penalty may be one degree higher

RA 10175 also contains procedures on preservation of computer data. This is important because platforms and service providers may not keep all logs forever. If the matter becomes a formal criminal investigation, law enforcement may need subscriber information, traffic data, login records, IP logs, or related data through proper legal processes.

Estafa Under the Revised Penal Code

If the page tricks a person into sending money, the act may also constitute estafa under Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code. Estafa generally involves deceit or abuse of confidence causing damage to another person.

Examples:

The page says you must deposit ₱5,000 to activate your “casino wallet,” then disappears.
The scammer says you won ₱80,000 but must pay “tax,” “unlock fee,” or “verification fee.”
A fake online betting agent promises to process your withdrawal but keeps demanding additional payment.
A page pretends to be a legitimate licensed gaming site and collects deposits through a mule account.

When committed online, estafa may be charged together with relevant cybercrime provisions, depending on the evidence.

Illegal Gambling Laws: PD 1602 and RA 9287

Philippine illegal gambling rules are found in several laws, including Presidential Decree No. 1602 and Republic Act No. 9287, which increased penalties for illegal numbers games and amended parts of PD 1602. See PD 1602 and RA 9287. (Lawphil)

Not every online casino issue is automatically an illegal gambling case. The key question is whether the operator is authorized under Philippine gaming regulations. PAGCOR maintains official regulatory lists, including its list of accredited gaming system administrators, registered brands, and domain names/URLs. PAGCOR’s list dated June 30, 2026 identifies registered brands and URLs, which is useful for checking whether a website link being promoted by a social media page appears to be officially listed. (PAGCOR)

PAGCOR has also warned the public against fake online gaming sites and illegal online gambling sites using its logo or false claims of licensing. (PAGCOR)

Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act: RA 12010

If the scam uses mule accounts, fake accounts, social engineering, or financial account misuse, the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act, Republic Act No. 12010, may be relevant. This law penalizes financial account scamming and related offenses. (Lawphil)

This is especially relevant when the gambling scam page:

Uses a GCash, Maya, or bank account under another person’s name
Buys, rents, or borrows financial accounts to receive deposits
Uses phishing links to steal account credentials
Uses social engineering to make victims transfer money
Moves funds quickly through multiple accounts

Data Privacy Act: RA 10173

If scammers use your name, photo, government ID, selfie, address, mobile number, or screenshots of your account, the Data Privacy Act of 2012, Republic Act No. 10173, may apply. The National Privacy Commission states that a person has the right to complain if personal information is misused, maliciously disclosed, improperly disposed of, or if data privacy rights are violated. (National Privacy Commission)

This is common when:

Your ID was submitted for “verification” and is later used to scam others
Your Facebook photos are copied into a fake gambling agent profile
Your name appears in fake payout posts
Your business page or logo is used to make the scam look legitimate

Financial Consumer Protection: RA 11765

If a bank, e-wallet, payment provider, or remittance platform is involved, the Financial Products and Services Consumer Protection Act, Republic Act No. 11765, protects financial consumers’ rights, including protection of consumer assets against fraud and misuse, data privacy, and timely complaint handling. (Lawphil)

The BSP Consumer Assistance Mechanism is generally a second-level recourse. This means you usually complain first to your bank or e-wallet, then escalate to BSP if the financial institution does not act properly or timely. BSP guidance explains that its CAM covers complaints against BSP-supervised institutions and may be accessed through BSP channels such as BOB or email. (Bureau of the Treasury)

Step-by-Step Guide to Request Removal of a Gambling Scam Page

1. Preserve Evidence Before Reporting the Page

Before clicking “Report,” gather evidence. Scammers often delete posts or block victims once they notice reports.

Save the following:

Full URL of the page, profile, group, channel, post, video, ad, or live stream
Page name, username, handle, page ID, or channel ID
Screenshots of the profile/page header, About section, posts, comments, ads, and messages
Screenshots showing the gambling offer, deposit instructions, QR codes, e-wallet numbers, bank details, crypto wallet, or links
Date and time of each screenshot
Chat history with the scammer
Transaction receipts and reference numbers
Names, numbers, and account details used by the scammer
Any fake PAGCOR certificate, business permit, SEC document, celebrity endorsement, or “license”
Links to the website or app promoted by the social media page

For stronger evidence, use screen recording to capture the page navigation from the profile URL to the scam post and payment instructions. Do not edit screenshots except to redact your own sensitive information for public warnings.

2. Check Whether the Gambling Site or Brand Appears Legitimate

If the page claims to be a licensed Philippine online casino or betting platform, check the official PAGCOR sources. PAGCOR’s current list of accredited gaming system administrators and registered brands/domain names is more reliable than screenshots sent by an “agent.” (PAGCOR)

Look for red flags:

The domain does not match the official domain listed by PAGCOR
The page uses a slightly misspelled brand name
The “PAGCOR certificate” is a low-resolution image
The certificate has no verifiable license number
The page asks you to deposit to a personal e-wallet instead of an official payment channel
The supposed support agent communicates only through Messenger, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Viber
The page promises guaranteed winnings
The page says withdrawals require additional deposits

If the brand or URL does not appear on PAGCOR’s official list, mention that in your report.

3. Report the Page Directly to the Social Media Platform

Platform reporting is usually the fastest route for removal.

Facebook or Instagram

Use the in-app report tools. For fake gambling scam pages, the closest categories are usually:

Scam or fraud
Impersonation
Fake account
Intellectual property misuse, if your brand/logo is copied
Unauthorized use of personal photos, if your identity is used

Meta’s Community Standards include rules against fraud and scams, including gambling-related fraud. (Transparency)

For impersonation, Facebook’s Help Center has a specific process for reporting profiles or Pages pretending to be you, someone you know, or a public figure. (Facebook)

When reporting, include a short, factual explanation:

This Page is promoting an online gambling scam targeting users in the Philippines. It uses fake licensing claims and asks users to send deposits to personal e-wallet/bank accounts. The Page is not the official page of the brand/person/entity it claims to represent. Evidence includes scam posts, payment instructions, and links to the promoted gambling website.

If the report is rejected, report again under a more specific category, such as impersonation, fraud, or intellectual property. Many successful removals happen only after clearer evidence is submitted.

TikTok

TikTok allows users to report accounts, videos, direct messages, hashtags, LIVE content, and impersonation accounts through its safety reporting tools. Its Help Center provides reporting steps for accounts and other content. (TikTok Support)

For TikTok gambling scams, report:

The account
Each video promoting the gambling link
Comments containing deposit instructions
LIVE sessions promoting the scam
Links in bio
Direct messages asking for money or ID verification

YouTube

YouTube allows reporting of videos, Shorts, comments, posts, live chat messages, ads, conversations, and legal issues. Its Help Center also says that if several videos or comments on the same channel violate policy, users can report the channel. (Google Help)

For scam gambling channels, report:

The channel
The video or Short
The pinned comment
The description links
The live chat messages
The ad, if the scam appears as a sponsored ad

4. Report to PAGCOR if the Page Claims to Be Licensed or Promotes Illegal Online Gambling

PAGCOR is the Philippine gaming regulator. Report to PAGCOR when the page:

Uses the PAGCOR logo
Claims to be licensed by PAGCOR
Shows a suspicious PAGCOR certificate
Promotes an online casino or betting site targeting Philippine users
Uses a domain not found in PAGCOR’s registered list
Pretends to be connected to a licensed casino, integrated resort, gaming system administrator, or betting brand

PAGCOR’s regulatory contact page lists contact information for its regulatory departments, including electronic gaming and licensing-related offices. (PAGCOR)

Your PAGCOR report should include:

Social media page URL
Website/app URL promoted by the page
Screenshots of PAGCOR logo or certificate misuse
Screenshots of deposit instructions
E-wallet/bank details used
Names of admins or agents, if visible
Explanation that the page is promoting suspected illegal online gambling or falsely claiming PAGCOR authority

PAGCOR reports are especially useful when platforms are slow to act because you can attach PAGCOR-related evidence to your follow-up platform reports.

5. Report the Scam to CICC or Hotline 1326

For online scam reporting, the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center and related cybercrime complaint channels are important first-contact points. The government and public advisories have identified Hotline 1326 as a central reporting number for online scams and cyber fraud. (ScamWatch Pilipinas)

Report through this channel when:

The scam is ongoing
Victims are still being recruited
The page is collecting deposits
The scam uses multiple pages, numbers, or accounts
You need guidance on the next reporting office

When you call or message, ask for a reference number or record of your report if available.

6. File a Complaint or Incident Report with PNP ACG or NBI Cybercrime

For formal investigation, report to either:

PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP ACG), especially if you need cybercrime documentation, local police coordination, or cyber investigation
NBI Cybercrime Division, especially for more complex scams, syndicates, identity theft, larger losses, or cross-border elements
DOJ Office of Cybercrime, which is involved in cybercrime coordination and international cooperation under RA 10175

The DOJ has an official page on reporting cybercrime incidents and its Office of Cybercrime is the central authority for cybercrime-related matters under RA 10175. (Department of Justice Philippines)

For a formal complaint, prepare:

Requirement	Practical notes
Valid government ID	Passport, driver’s license, UMID, PhilID/ePhilID, PRC ID, or other accepted ID
Complaint-affidavit	A sworn written statement narrating what happened
Screenshots and URLs	Print and save digital copies
Transaction receipts	Include reference numbers, sender/recipient account, date, time, and amount
Chat logs	Export if possible; screenshots should show the account name and date/time
Platform report receipts	Include screenshots or emails confirming you reported the page
Bank/e-wallet case number	Helpful for tracing and coordination
Witness statements	Useful if several victims dealt with the same page

A complaint-affidavit usually needs to be notarized. In practice, agencies may initially accept screenshots and an incident narrative, but formal filing normally requires a sworn statement.

7. Report to Your Bank, E-Wallet, or Payment Provider Immediately

If you sent money, contact the financial service provider as soon as possible. Delay is one of the biggest reasons victims fail to recover funds.

For GCash scams, GCash instructs users to report the scammer to authorities, report to GCash immediately with details and screenshots, and block the scammer. (GCash Help Center)

For Maya, its fraud report channel asks users to submit complete details and states that concerns are generally addressed within 10 working days, subject to further time if needed. (Maya Support)

Tell your bank/e-wallet:

You were scammed by a social media gambling page
You are requesting preservation of records
You are requesting review or restriction of the recipient account, if allowed by their process
You need a case/reference number for law enforcement
You are willing to submit a police/NBI/PNP report once available

Include:

Transaction reference number
Date and time
Amount
Recipient name/number/account
Screenshots of the scam page and chat
Police or cybercrime complaint reference, if already filed

If the bank/e-wallet does not act properly, you may escalate to BSP’s consumer assistance mechanism after going through the provider’s own complaint process. (Bureau of the Treasury)

8. File a National Privacy Commission Complaint if Your Identity Was Used

If the scam page uses your personal information, consider filing with the National Privacy Commission.

NPC formal complaints generally require a specific format, supporting documents, notarization, and submission through the accepted channels. The NPC’s filing page describes the complaint form process, including printing, filling out, notarization, and submission. (National Privacy Commission)

This is useful when:

Your ID was used to create a fake gambling account
Your face or name appears in fake testimonial posts
A scammer uses your business logo or customer database
Your private information was posted to threaten or pressure you
Your account was hacked and used to scam others

NPC action is not the same as criminal prosecution, but it can help address data misuse and create an official record.

Sample Takedown Request You Can Send to a Platform

Use a short and factual report. Avoid emotional language. Platforms review large volumes of reports, so clarity helps.

I am reporting this Page/account for scam, fraud, impersonation, and promotion of suspected illegal online gambling targeting users in the Philippines.

Page/account URL:
[insert link]

Related posts/videos:
[insert links]

Website/app promoted:
[insert link]

Reason for report:
This Page/account is pretending to be a legitimate online gambling operator or agent. It asks users to send deposits through personal e-wallet/bank accounts and claims users can win or withdraw money after paying additional fees. It also uses suspicious licensing claims and/or copied logos/photos.

Evidence:
- Screenshot of Page/profile
- Screenshot of gambling promotion
- Screenshot of deposit instructions
- Screenshot of chat asking for money
- Transaction receipt/reference number, if applicable
- Screenshot of fake license/PAGCOR claim, if applicable

Requested action:
Please remove or disable the Page/account and preserve relevant records because it appears to be used for fraud, impersonation, and illegal gambling promotion.

Sample Report to PAGCOR, PNP ACG, NBI, or CICC

I am reporting a social media page/account used to promote a suspected illegal online gambling scam in the Philippines.

1. Social media page/account:
[insert URL]

2. Website/app promoted:
[insert URL]

3. Names/handles used:
[insert names]

4. Payment channels used:
[insert GCash/Maya/bank/QR/crypto details, if any]

5. What happened:
[briefly explain how the page recruits users, asks for deposits, prevents withdrawals, impersonates a licensed operator, or uses fake PAGCOR documents]

6. Amount lost, if any:
[insert amount]

7. Evidence attached:
- Screenshots of the page/account
- Screenshots of posts/videos/ads
- Screenshots of chats
- Transaction receipts
- Fake certificate/license screenshots
- Platform report confirmation
- IDs or affidavits, if required

I respectfully request assistance in recording, investigating, and referring this matter to the proper office or platform escalation channel for removal, evidence preservation, and appropriate action.

Practical Timelines and Fees

There is no single timeline because page removal depends on the platform, quality of evidence, and whether law enforcement or regulators escalate the matter.

Action	Typical timeline in practice	Fees
In-app platform report	Same day to several weeks; sometimes no action unless reported again with better evidence	Usually free
PAGCOR report	Varies; may acknowledge or refer internally depending on facts	Usually free
CICC / 1326 report	Initial intake may be immediate, but action/referral varies	Usually free
PNP ACG or NBI cybercrime complaint	Same day intake to several weeks for evaluation; longer for investigation	Usually free, but notarization/printing costs may apply
Bank/e-wallet fraud report	Urgent intake may be immediate; investigation may take days to weeks	Usually free
BSP escalation	After financial provider complaint process; timeline depends on complexity	Usually free
NPC complaint	Evaluation may take weeks or longer depending on completeness and docket load	Filing-related costs may include notarization, printing, courier, and possible schedule-based fees

The biggest bottlenecks are usually:

Incomplete screenshots
Missing URLs
No transaction reference number
Victim reports after the page is already deleted
Reports sent only to Facebook/TikTok but not to law enforcement or PAGCOR
Use of personal e-wallets or mule accounts that quickly move the money
Foreign-hosted platforms requiring formal legal process before disclosing user data

What Not to Do

Avoid these common mistakes:

Do not warn the scammer before preserving evidence. They may block you or delete the page.
Do not pay “withdrawal fees,” “tax,” “unlock fees,” or “verification deposits.” These are common second-stage scam demands.
Do not send your ID, selfie, OTP, password, or screen-sharing access.
Do not rely only on mass reporting. Mass reporting can help, but formal reports create a stronger record.
Do not post unredacted IDs, phone numbers, or bank details publicly. Share full details only with platforms, banks, regulators, or law enforcement.
Do not assume a page is legitimate because it has many followers. Scam pages are often bought, renamed, hacked, or boosted with fake engagement.
Do not assume a PAGCOR logo means the site is licensed. Check official PAGCOR sources.

Special Situations

The Page Uses My Name or Photo

Report it as impersonation and identity misuse. If it uses your personal information, consider filing with NPC and reporting to PNP ACG or NBI. If your ID was used, tell your bank/e-wallet and monitor for account openings or suspicious transactions.

The Page Pretends to Be PAGCOR or a Licensed Casino

Report to the platform and PAGCOR. Attach the fake certificate, logo misuse, and promoted URL. PAGCOR has publicly warned about fake online gaming sites using its logo and false licensing claims. (PAGCOR)

The Scam Page Is Still Running Paid Ads

Report both the page and the ad. On YouTube, for example, Google’s Help Center provides a specific process for reporting ads that violate policies. (Google Help)

On Facebook and Instagram, take screenshots showing the “Sponsored” label, ad library details if available, landing page URL, and payment/deposit instructions.

The Victim Is an OFW or Foreigner Abroad

You can still report directly to the platform, PAGCOR, CICC, and your bank/e-wallet from abroad. For formal Philippine complaints, you may need:

A sworn complaint-affidavit
A Special Power of Attorney if someone in the Philippines will file or follow up for you
Consular acknowledgment before a Philippine Embassy/Consulate, or notarization with apostille if executed in a country where apostille applies
Copies of passport, visa/ID, proof of transaction, and screenshots

Foreign victims should preserve the same evidence. If the money went through a Philippine bank or e-wallet, report to that provider immediately.

The Page Was Removed but a New One Appeared

This is common. Keep a tracker with:

Date found	Page name	URL	Admin/agent name	Payment account	Status
July 7, 2026	Example Casino PH	facebook.com/example	“Agent Mark”	GCash ending 1234	Reported
July 8, 2026	Example Casino Support	tiktok.com/@example	“Support Anna”	Maya ending 5678	Active

This pattern helps show that the scam is organized and recurring, not a one-time misunderstanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I ask Facebook or TikTok to remove an online gambling scam page?

Yes. Report the page directly through the platform’s reporting tools. Use categories such as scam, fraud, impersonation, fake account, or illegal regulated goods/services when available. Attach clear evidence showing the gambling promotion, fake licensing claim, payment request, or impersonation.

Should I report first to the platform or to the police?

Preserve evidence first, then report to both. Platform reporting may remove the page faster, while police or cybercrime reporting creates an official record and may help preserve evidence, trace accounts, or support bank/e-wallet escalation.

Can PAGCOR remove a Facebook Page?

PAGCOR does not directly control Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Telegram. However, PAGCOR can receive reports involving illegal online gambling, fake PAGCOR licenses, and misuse of PAGCOR’s name or logo. A PAGCOR-related report may support platform escalation and enforcement action.

What if the page says it is PAGCOR licensed?

Do not rely on screenshots. Check the official PAGCOR list of registered brands and domain names. If the promoted URL or brand does not match official records, include that fact in your report. Scammers often copy real logos or certificates to look legitimate.

Can I recover the money I sent to a gambling scam page?

Recovery is possible in some cases, but it is not guaranteed. Report to your bank or e-wallet immediately, provide the transaction reference number, and request investigation or restriction of the recipient account if allowed. Also file a cybercrime report. The faster you report, the better the chance that funds or account records can still be traced.

Is online gambling illegal in the Philippines?

Some online gaming activities may be legal if properly licensed and operated under Philippine gaming regulations. However, many social media gambling pages are scams or promote unlicensed sites. A page is suspicious if it uses personal e-wallet deposits, fake certificates, guaranteed winnings, private agents, or URLs not found in official regulatory lists.

Can I file a cybercrime complaint even if I did not lose money?

Yes. You may report attempted scams, impersonation, fake gambling pages, phishing links, or misuse of your identity. Attempted cybercrime and related preparatory conduct may still be important for law enforcement and platform removal.

What if the scammer used my ID or selfie?

Report the page for impersonation and privacy violation. File reports with the platform, PNP ACG or NBI, and consider a National Privacy Commission complaint if your personal information was misused. Also alert your bank or e-wallet providers if you suspect your ID may be used for account opening or verification.

Do I need a lawyer to request removal of a scam page?

For platform reporting, no. For serious cases involving large losses, multiple victims, identity theft, business impersonation, or formal criminal complaints, legal assistance can help organize affidavits, evidence, and agency follow-ups. But you can begin preservation and reporting immediately on your own.

What is the most important thing to do first?

Take screenshots, copy URLs, save receipts, and record the date and time. Evidence disappears quickly. Once evidence is preserved, report to the platform, PAGCOR if gambling licensing is involved, CICC/1326 or cybercrime authorities, and your bank/e-wallet if money was sent.

Key Takeaways

Preserve evidence before reporting because scam pages can disappear or change names quickly.
Report directly to the social media platform for the fastest chance of removal.
Report to PAGCOR when the page uses fake gambling licenses, PAGCOR logos, or promotes suspected illegal online gambling.
Report to PNP ACG, NBI Cybercrime, CICC, or Hotline 1326 for cybercrime documentation and possible investigation.
Report immediately to your bank, GCash, Maya, or payment provider if money was transferred.
Use the National Privacy Commission route if your personal data, ID, photo, or identity was misused.
A fake PAGCOR logo, high follower count, or “withdrawal proof” does not make a gambling page legitimate.
Removal is usually faster when your report includes URLs, screenshots, payment details, fake license claims, and transaction records.
