00:00Arrested in Makati City are 17 foreign nationals

00:03who were involved in a wide range of online scamming activities.

00:07These are the suspects who were involved in their operation.

00:10Here is the report.

00:17On Friday, October 11,

00:19the operatives of the Cybercrime Division

00:23in this house in Makati City

00:25were involved in a wide range of online scamming activities.

00:29When the authorities entered this unit,

00:31the suspects were in front of their computers.

00:35Arrested are 17 foreign nationals

00:37including 15 Chinese nationals,

00:401 Taiwanese, and 1 Malaysian

00:42who were supervised by the group

00:44and had direct contact with the boss.

00:46According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago,

00:48the large group was formed by a small group.

00:51Residential units and apartments are occupied

00:57so that it's not obvious that they are still involved in scamming activities

01:05in a smaller group.

01:07That's why 17 of them left.

01:15They left the bigger group

01:17and formed a small group

01:20to continue with their scamming activities.

01:22NBI explained that the arrested are part of the communications group

01:26that was set up so that the victims can communicate.

01:29While the other groups are in other places

01:31where the proceeds or money is going.

01:34They do this to avoid the authorities from knowing about their operation.

01:39They started with what the director said,

01:42a lab scam, a romance scam.

01:43And then when the victim is hooked,

01:45they will engage in investment proposals.

01:49And then from there,

01:50they send links here.

01:53We made a link,

01:54we have what we call a clickbait.

01:57At the moment that the victim clicked it,

02:00then it will creep out to their system

02:02and then siphoning their sensitive data.

02:06According to him,

02:07the group also bought data from data breaches

02:10from dark forums and dark web

02:12that they use to find the victim.

02:15And it's possible that they were also involved in hacking.

02:18They will conduct a background investigation

02:20on who their target is.

02:22And then at the same time,

02:23if they see the pattern, the character,

02:25the hobby, the daily activities,

02:27at the same time,

02:27what are the longings of their victims,

02:30they will engage through social engineering.

02:34According to Santiago,

02:35most of these victims are Chinese.

02:38In the forensic examination,

02:40electronic devices were recovered

02:42that discovered digital evidence,

02:44tools and applications for their social engineering schemes,

02:47illegal access, misuse of devices,

02:50computer-related forgery and fraud.

02:53There are no documents or suspects

02:55about their stay in the country.

02:58At the Bureau of Immigration,

02:59they asked for passports

03:01for the downgrading of their work visa.

03:03Foreign nationals are facing

03:05the violation of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act

03:07and Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
