00:00A Malaysian national is in Cotes, Paranaque, who is selling a device to use in tech scams.

00:06Not only can it send thousands of messages,

00:09it can also know the location and activity of the user on his cell phone.

00:13Here is what I learned.

00:19The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center,

00:26Bureau of Immigration, and National Telecommunications Commission

00:30led this in a motel in Paranaque earlier.

00:33Their package covers the 46-year-old Malaysian

00:38who is involved in selling the International Mobile Identity Subscriber or MCCatcher.

00:45According to authorities, this device is used by syndicates to send and spread text messages

00:53that the motive is to deceive and victimize using different modes.

00:58It is harvesting phone numbers.

01:02We receive a lot of unwanted text messages

01:08that we don't want to receive but we receive.

01:12It's because this machine is used.

01:16It evolved.

01:17If it was just a text blaster, it was further improved.

01:23According to the authorities, the suspect is selling this device online for more than half a million pesos.

01:30It's around 600,000 pesos.

01:34The one we caught is a foreign national.

01:37It just got here.

01:39According to his FB page, he is the bestseller when this machine arrived here in the Philippines.

01:49But it wasn't that easy to catch the suspect.

01:54We have to step in and bring in advanced science technology in tracking it now.

02:00Finally, we caught up with him in cooperation with our foreign partners, the Malaysian government.

02:08According to the authorities, this electronic device is capable of intercepting messages,

02:15conversations, and calls to our mobile phones and gadgets.

02:19The solution is to find the source.

02:24If you just chase it, the operator won't be able to catch it.

02:30So we targeted the source of the empty catches here in the Philippines.

02:34According to the authorities, the suspect is not the only one selling this device, like this one.

02:41Is it stocked here?

02:43Has it been hidden?

02:44Or has it just arrived?

02:47We are still in that stage of identifying it.

02:51We are continuing to try to catch the suspect involved in the cybercrime prevention act of 2012 and others.

02:59We are warning our constituents to be careful when we receive messages.

03:07Let's call first before we believe it.
