To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of GMA Network. Some parts in boldface…
Joint forces of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested nine Koreans in Parañaque City for alleged involvement in online fraud, the bureau announced Friday.
According to the NBI, agents of the NBI-Organized and Transnational Crime Division and BI-Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) arrested the foreigners in a condominium in Parañaque on Wednesday, June 25.
“The Korean nationals were found operating computer workstations that run multiple applications displaying foreign-language scripts and exhibiting user interface windows typically associated with financial transactions and online communication platforms,” the NBI said in a statement.
“The configuration and real-time display of these systems raised reasonable suspicion of involvement in online loan fraud schemes,” it added.
The arrested individuals underwent inquest proceedings by the BI for violations of the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940, as amended, the NBI said.
