00:00My fellow countrymen, beware of the so-called bank robbers who are using your credit card points as cash.
00:07That's a way to steal online and Shyam was arrested for that in Pasay.
00:13That's true of my exclusive report.
00:19In this raid of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group in a house in Pasay,
00:23various types of evidence were collected by the police that they were the lead
00:27so that Shyam's personality would be exposed,
00:30which included voice phishing,
00:32a way to steal money online.
00:35Cellphones, gadgets, their transaction details,
00:39how they buy SIM cards and cellphones.
00:43In the raids of 13 Martires and General Trias in Cavite,
00:47the suspects were caught,
00:49along with the recovered authorities.
00:51This piece of paper is where the script is written,
00:54which is read by the suspects,
00:56to deceive them.
00:57They used to work in a call center,
00:59so they know how to negotiate,
01:02how to deal with people who are victims of online theft.
01:05According to the PNP-ACG,
01:07this group started operating in 2021.
01:10Based on their investigation and based on the evidence,
01:13they earned more than P100 million pesos
01:17from their online scam.
01:19Based on the figures we saw from 2021 to 2023,
01:23they earned P115 million pesos.
01:25Their crime increased after the pandemic.
01:28The figure of complaints is small,
01:30but what the victims lost was P1 million pesos.
01:35The police continues to increase the number
01:38of victims of groups like this,
01:40who claim to be bankers,
01:43their pawns,
01:45credit card holders.
01:46If you have a credit card like this,
01:48it will expire,
01:49and we saw that you have points
01:51that we can convert to cash.
01:54You will get your name,
01:55you will be deceived,
01:56but the one-time pin will be the one-time pin.
01:59The suspect accused of violating the Access Devices Regulation Act
02:03refused to give a receipt
02:05and was imprisoned in Camp Krame.
02:07The PNP-ACG also informed the leaders of the banks
02:10to chase those who passed information
02:13to the depositors of various banks.
02:17This is a huge problem.
02:19You're kidding.
02:20You have almost 200,000 of information.
02:23Our question to the banks is,
02:25where did this start?
02:26How did this happen?
