00:00 Money has become a stone.
00:02 That's what happened to a woman who instead of earning in exchange for her tasks or orders
00:09 in applying for a job online, she was fined a thousand pesos.
00:14 The modus alamin po for Maki Polido's investigation.
00:17 For those who want to work and earn,
00:21 I found John Alin easily on a Facebook post about an online job
00:26 when he clicked the link that went to a chat app.
00:30 In the chat, someone talked to him and said that before he can get a job in their company,
00:34 there are tasks that he needs to complete.
00:36 First, he has to sell items like clothes and slippers.
00:39 But before that, he needs to deposit or recharge 100 pesos.
00:44 John Alin was able to sell immediately and he even got a commission of 30 pesos.
00:48 He also completed the second task of selling items and he got a commission again.
00:53 When I finished the two tasks that they were saying, I withdrew 648 pesos.
01:01 Then I followed that and I referred to their manager
01:07 so that I can get a bigger income that I didn't expect.
01:13 The bigger income they are saying is VIP 3 to become a full-time employee.
01:18 John Alin recharged 32,000 pesos to complete the tasks.
01:23 He promised to withdraw the commission of 88,000 pesos.
01:28 But to get it, he needs to pay a tax of 17,000 pesos.
01:33 Because it's already a trial, John Alin deposited it.
01:36 He told me that I can withdraw now.
01:39 When I withdrew, he gave me an incorrect password.
01:44 Even though my password is correct, I couldn't contact them because they locked me.
01:52 The most shocking thing is that John Alin only borrowed 52,000 pesos that he deposited in the digital wallet of the scammer.
01:59 I can't eat anymore.
02:01 I'm already exhausted emotionally.
02:05 Sometimes I get crazy thinking about how I can solve this.
02:10 I thought I can help but it turns out that our problem has gotten bigger.
02:17 According to PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, it's called a tasking scam.
02:21 It's like the employment scam that started during the pandemic.
02:25 523 employment scam cases were received by PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group from January to August 2023.
02:33 We do the money trail.
02:35 We get a warrant from the court to disclose computer data for us to be able to get the identity of the suspect.
02:44 They always remind us that there's no investment.
02:47 You can get this kind of money in a short period of time.
02:52 If you have experienced a task or employment scam, you can contact PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group.
02:57 For JMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, for 24 Hours.
