00:15The authorities attacked an AIA company, a scam hub,
00:19in the middle of a residential area in Paranaque City around 2 o'clock this morning.
00:26Several computer-related scams were reported by the National Capital Region Police Office,
00:33Regional Intelligence Division, Paranaque City Police, and Kawaninang Pagkor.
00:39According to the authorities, they received information that there was fraudulent activity in the company.
00:45The company was involved in cheating several foreign nationals through love scam and trading scam.
00:52The target in the search warrant issued by the Manila Regional Trial Court is a Chinese national
00:57with a generic name of Nan Shan, who is said to be the boss of the scam hub.
01:01The authorities conducted a case build-up for a month.
01:04The investigation concluded that the company has no evidence and is not compliant,
01:11but their operation is still ongoing.
01:13The scam hub, according to the initial details from the Regional Intelligence Division of the NCR,
01:21only targets the authorities who entered Room 901,
01:24but they were able to reach seven more rooms where computer-related fraud is being committed.
01:30One of the employees involved in the cheating is Love Scam.
01:34You can see the name of the scam through chat and the other targets of Love Scam are in the inbox.
01:40They also use artificial intelligence so that the features of their faces are different
01:45if the victim of the scam requests a video call.
01:48The setup here looks like an office, but let's go inside this room.
01:55Wow, it looks like a house.
01:58There is also a sofa bed set up here that is being used by model scammers
02:03to make their victim more suspicious through video call.
02:07This is where they trick the victim to invest.
02:10Let's go to that section.
02:13Here, the setup looks like a fashion designer's office
02:18and this is where the narrative of the suspects is being played.
02:22There is also a crypto scam where they will take the victim's insides
02:26so that the victim can easily invest in them using crypto.
02:29One of the authorities was this 24-year-old man.
02:34He was recruited by a Filipino employer, but the data encoder told him the job description.
02:40What he didn't know is that he will be made to do an e-scam.
02:44If they invest, we will just let them in with money.
02:50They won't be able to withdraw.

03:14The recruiter of the 20-year-old trainee of the scam hub said it's a call center.
03:19He was offered 20,000 pesos.
03:22A recruiter explained to us that they will give us a big salary.
03:32But if we do something wrong, they will deduct our salary.
03:39The management gives them a number.
03:42They will get the information through a text message that looks like a survey.

03:4940.
03:50But we can't get them all.
03:52They said our salary is deducted.
