00:00 Two suspects were arrested for investment scam.
00:04 One of the suspects, who is worth more than 100 million pesos,
00:08 is the Cryptocurrency King.
00:12 The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission admitted that
00:15 it is difficult to catch the suspects behind the online scams.
00:18 Let's witness Marisol Abdurrahman.
00:20 The operatives of PNPC-IDG in Paranaque
00:27 arrested two suspects for fraud and fraud of more than 100 million pesos.
00:32 We arrest you for defamation of Article 315, Swinthing or Estafa.
00:38 The suspect, Vance Joshua Tamayo, was introduced by the Cryptocurrency King.
00:43 He is the secretary of Jerome Vinas Laris.
00:47 Tamayo is the one who is encouraging the victims
00:50 to invest in his Cryptocurrency account worth less than 1 million pesos.
00:55 So his promise with the complainants is
01:01 the investment shall earn monthly interest of 4.5%.
01:06 When the victims arrived, Tamayo paid out twice.
01:12 Then suddenly, a victim who is worth 50 million pesos, disappeared.
01:18 The complainant's communication with the suspect was cut off.
01:25 After one year, the suspect contacted him.
01:29 And the suspect was asking for another 826,000 pesos processing fee.
01:40 The CIDG said that 10 victims are ready to file for fraud.
01:44 Aside from the complaint of Estafa, two more were arrested
01:48 after escaping from the first entrapment against them on Tuesday in Makati City.
01:53 The suspects refused to give a statement.
01:56 The authorities are calling on other victims to come forward and speak up to strengthen the case.
02:02 According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
02:05 aside from the large amount of money in scamming,
02:08 the person behind it is not easily caught.
02:11 You are hiding your fake identity and you are online.
02:15 In the record of the Philippine National Police,
02:18 our online crimes are more likely to be scammed than ordinary crimes.
02:26 The CIDG showed how easy it is to register a SIM card
02:30 even if the person is a cartoon character.
02:33 Bart Simpson is okay. He has a registered SIM card.
02:37 Or maybe the character who is in the anime is just a random letter.
02:42 The process was shown using the equipment they got from the raids.
02:47 He can produce 64 pre-registered SIM cards at a time.
02:52 The exact number of pre-registered SIM cards used in various types of scams
02:57 cannot be said by the CIDG.
03:00 But thousands of them are made every day.
03:02 That's why the authorities should be alert and not to be fooled.
03:07 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
03:14 Kapusos, let's be witnesses together.
