NBI arrests 18 Chinese, 2 Pinoy in scam hub raid

Quick Summary:

THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Wednesday announced the arrest of 18 Chinese nationals and two Filipinos for various crimes following a raid on a scam hub in Parañaque City on Tuesday night.

Through the scheme, the accused initiated contact via messaging platforms such as WhatsApp or Telegram, posing as representatives of legitimate businesses or acquaintances.“By establishing rapport and appealing to the victims’ emotions, they lured them into making investments in cryptocurrency through deceptive ‘mining’ or ‘farming’ schemes,” the NBI said.

On Tuesday, NBI operatives swooped down on the building to serve the warrant to search, seize, and examine computer data (WSSECD) issued by Branch 258 of the Regional Trial Court in Parañaque City.
