00:07another house in Angeles, Pampanga, was invaded by the NBI,
00:12where the six Chinese nationals who are doing various kinds of online frauds were caught.
00:22John Consulta was on the scene.
00:24The NBI's Cybercrime Division invaded this villa in an exclusive subdivision in Angeles, Pampanga.
00:33The search warrants were beaten.
00:35When they arrived at the second floor of the house,
00:40the six Chinese nationals, three men and three women, were caught operating their computers.
00:47The scripts they are using in their online frauds were tampered with by the raiding team.
00:51According to the NBI, this is a follow-up operation to their first raid that arrested 24 Filipinos and five Chinese
00:59who were involved in the Love Scam in Kawit Cavite on August 10.
01:03According to the NBI, the Chinese nationals arrested in Angeles, Pampanga were involved in the online frauds,
01:09including crypto phishing, investment fraud and text spam messages.
01:14Their engagement is a massive, fraudulent activity globally.
01:19The victims here are both locals and internationals.
01:24Their storage is cloud-based.
01:26In other words, since it's cloud-based, it can be accessed anywhere as long as you know the credentials.
01:33According to the NBI, the group of Chinese was caught from Pogo by the Finance and Money Laundering Department.
01:40But they entered the country as tourists.
01:43They were also able to buy properties and cars.
01:46But they are being named to the Filipino authorities so that they won't be noticed.
01:51They've only been here for a month.
01:53And I think this operation is after the pronouncement of our president.
01:58After all the Pogo operations were done.
02:01They were caught by one of the Chinese arrested and asked where their passports are.
02:06Where are they?
02:09He said he doesn't know.
02:11We are still trying to get a statement from the other arrested.
02:15They are facing a complaint of cybercrime prevention act, economic sabotage and anti-financial account scamming act.
