00:00 High-tech fraudsters in Pasig using artificial intelligence.
00:05 They are also able to register SIMs simultaneously using the names of famous personalities.
00:11 That's what John Consulta is talking about.
00:14 A search warrant was issued.
00:19 The NBI Cybercrime Division entered this fishing hub in Pasig City.
00:24 It's down there.
00:26 Four men were arrested, including this man who was hiding under the bed.
00:31 In the other room, the computers and other equipment used in the text blasts were found.
00:38 There are messages for online gambling, sports events, and Halloween.
00:47 But the NBI's most dangerous discovery is the use of artificial intelligence by scammers.
00:56 What they are requesting is to give me 10 words,
01:01 Tagalog version,
01:04 and at the same time, this is their nature.
01:07 So definitely, they will generate AI for their request.
01:11 And that will now form part of their fishing link.
01:15 It's very alarming because nowadays,
01:18 our cybercriminals are leveraging the technology of AI.
01:25 It is also said that it is high-tech to legally register SIM cards of the alleged syndicates
01:30 using a SMS modem pool,
01:33 where within a few minutes,
01:36 32 SIMs can be registered simultaneously
01:40 using the names of some famous personalities with different faces.
01:45 113 SMS modem pools were confiscated.
01:49 We saw different IDs with different names and different pictures.
01:54 So this is fake.
01:55 There are personalities there, there are journalists, there are actors who are there.
02:00 And this is also what they use to register in SIM cards.
02:06 You remember that even a monkey can enter, or even J. Simpson can enter.
02:11 But now, any name, any picture is being registered in SIM cards.
02:18 The NBI also said that the new style of the syndicate is to not collect raids on their operations.
02:25 In one location, maybe the SMS department,
02:28 then other location, far from that location would be the finance department.
02:32 Assuming we catch one location,
02:35 definitely the whole criminal network would not be affected that much
02:39 because they have other departments operating.
02:41 So that's how they are organized.
02:44 The answer of the four arrested is cheap.
02:47 I don't know because I'm just new there.
02:50 We have no idea, sir.
02:52 We are illegal, sir.
02:54 We are just being instructed on what to put on the computer.
02:59 This is the largest number of SIM cards confiscated in a law enforcement operation
03:06 with a total of 88,000, of which 35,000 are registered.
03:12 For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta,
03:16 Tune in for 24 hours.
