00:00The operation of an offshore gaming company in the basement of a hotel in Pasay was exposed.
00:06Six Koreans and 14 Filipinos were arrested.
00:10Salima Refran has this breaking news.
00:18In the hidden part of the basement of a four-star hotel in Pasay,
00:21the Bureau of Immigration found the subjects of their mission order.
00:26A small office located in the entrance of PAOK and PNP CIDG
00:31is still operating an offshore gaming company in the country.
00:35Computers and various gadgets were found in this room
00:40that is used to operate offshore gaming.
00:43But unlike other operations, their target is Koreans.
00:48The location was investigated based on the tip received and surveillance of the authorities.
00:54We've been hearing about Korean POGOs for a long time,
00:57but this is the first time that we're able to get actual Koreans running an offshore gaming operation.
01:02If they try to kill you, you'll win.
01:06Then you keep on loading up to 200,000 won.
01:09If your bet money is 200,000 won, you'll be cut.
01:13So there's scamming, there's betting.
01:15The Korean police is also involved in the operation.
01:18Upon initial verification, you can say that this is an offshore gaming operation.
01:23Yeah, it's kind of...
01:25It has a casino slot and the amount that they bet.
01:29Yeah, that's right.
01:30According to our data from the Fugitive Search Unit,
01:32the number one arrest in terms of fugitives is a Korean.
01:36The Chinese is number two.
01:38It's a scam. Poice phishing.
01:40These small gadgets are being used by OTPs, or one-time passcode generators.
01:47OTPs produce these.
01:49It's stored here.
01:52Their transactions are saved here.
01:54So they need this every time they open a computer.
01:57For every computer, there's a designated OTP.
02:00So the cryptocurrency wallet transactions are all here.
02:06The number is here for them to enter.
02:10Gambling and scamming are also a big problem in Korea.
02:15We're talking of billions.
02:16For one computer alone, you can earn 7 million won, 2 million won, or 320,000 won.
02:25That's for one computer alone.
02:28So how many computers can we earn here?
02:30It's a big problem.
02:32They're saying that after the online scams,
02:38their crimes, their normal crimes...
02:43Six Koreans and 14 Filipinos were arrested by the authorities.
02:48Is this sports betting?
02:50No.
02:50No? Gambling?
02:52I don't know what this is.
02:53But only...
02:55Not cryptocurrency.
02:56Not cryptocurrency?
02:57I only know about online gaming.
02:59Online?
03:00Yes.
03:00Ma'am, do you know that online gaming is now prohibited?
03:05Yes.
03:06Actually, I have no idea.
03:08I've only been here for a month.
03:10Immigration violations will be faced by foreigners.
03:13The Filipinos will be under investigation.
