00:00 After watching the various modes of the cyber scam, a company in Pasay City, according to the authorities, has a license as a POGO operator.

00:10 Witness, John Consulta.

00:12 Bull to bull SIM card, smartphones, and devices for text blasting,

00:21 the authorities saw when they were discussing the five steps of its business in Pasay City.

00:26 They are using these things in various cyber scams.

00:30 This is what the people of the Forensic Digital Laboratory of the NBI and the Office of Cybercrime of the DOJ called,

00:36 who examined the facility, Cybercrime Hub.

00:40 The operation here includes crypto and tax scams, as well as love scams,

00:45 where money is being stolen from dating apps.

00:50 They even have a script for talking to the victims.

00:54 Most of the love scams are targeted at foreigners.

00:57 There are other computers that we saw yesterday,

01:00 the chat here of the customer service representative is white paper.

01:06 Aside from the workstation, you can also see here on the fifth floor,

01:09 this is their studio that they use in their operation.

01:13 When their target requests a video call,

01:16 this room is where they entertain the video call so that it can be broadcasted at home or while they are resting.

01:24 But when the client requests a video call in their workplace,

01:29 this is the part of the studio that they use.

01:35 But all of these are not true.

01:38 These books are already considered.

01:40 At first glance, you think it's true.

01:43 But it turns out that everything is made of cardboard.

01:48 In this era, we can see the different types of clothes that they wear on their models

01:56 to make their target victims fall in love.

02:00 According to the Department of Justice and the NBI,

02:02 this facility has been operating for more than a month before they were seen and intercepted.

02:09 Based on the initial investigation, the company Rivendell Global Support Inc. is licensed to run Pogo.

02:17 But it's just a front.

02:19 Before, you can see what they do, they really serve our Pogo.

02:25 But it turns out that there are scams that are happening here.

02:30 This is just a basic info.

02:33 I'm just a team leader here.

02:35 I'm the only one who motivates them.

02:38 I'm the only one who can get good data.

02:41 The company's leaders are still investigating.

02:44 They will also know how they can operate once the deadline for SIM registration is over.

02:51 We will know if there are loopholes in the SIM registration

02:54 that are still being exploited by the bad guys out there

02:59 to gain anonymity or to be able to perpetrate criminal activities.

03:03 According to the PAG-GOR,

03:06 the facility was inspected on July 26 and it was found that there are activities that can be used for scams.

03:15 But they were not able to send the report of their inspection to the law enforcers.

03:21 You noticed human trafficking badges or scam operations.

03:28 Why didn't you send it immediately?

03:31 I think it's a remiss on our part.

03:34 650 individuals were found in the facility.

03:38 More than 400 Filipinos and almost 200 Chinese and Indian nationals.

03:44 They are still investigating if they are involved in the case.

03:47 But one of the people found there was a former rescue from human trafficking in Myanmar.

03:54 We were working in Pogo in Basay.

03:57 We have a list of Filipinos who were rescued in the region.

04:01 The Interagency Council Against Human Trafficking noticed that there are fewer and more Filipinos

04:08 who are recruited by Pogo to avoid human trafficking.

04:13 They also complained about the badges of human trafficking.

04:18 For example, we couldn't find a room or darkroom.

04:22 According to the PAG-DINI, this year alone,

04:24 almost 4,000 victims of human trafficking were rescued.

04:28 We're now the human trafficking hub, not just Pogo Hub, human trafficking hub of the world.

04:34 Pogo is not bringing any benefit to our country, it's bringing shame.

04:40 The government should just pay the debt of Pogo to the government

04:45 and ask them to leave, to stop their operation here

04:49 because there's nothing good to be done, nothing bad.

04:53 But it seems that Pogo will continue in the country

04:56 because PAN-COR has a new framework to avoid Pogo being used in illegal activities.

05:03 For GMA Integrated News, I'm John Consulta, your witness.
