00:00SIM cards from the Philippines and other countries are counted among those arrested by the raid of Pogo Umano in Paranaque.
00:07More than 450 people were arrested there, including almost 150 refugees.
00:12Salima Refran reports.
00:19The warrant of arrest for a Chinese fugitive was issued by the PNP-CIDG,
00:26the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Bureau of Immigration,
00:29the DOJ Office of Cybercrime, and PAOC,
00:32the three branches of a house in the Bay Area of Paranaque City.
00:36The target was also part of the illegal Pogo operation,
00:40which is why the B.I. carried out the mission order.
00:43146 refugees, most of whom were Chinese, were arrested,
00:48including the man with the warrant for the fraud.
00:51307 were Filipinos.
00:54This is one of the work areas in the Pogo area of Paranaque City.
00:58Aside from the rows of computers, you can see their cellphones everywhere.
01:04Aside from that, their SIM cards are everywhere.
01:08All of this will be processed by the authorities when they get the warrant.
01:15Not only are the pre-registered SIM cards in the Philippines being used,
01:19there are also pre-registered SIM cards from other countries.
01:22Every floor has a different scam.
01:24On the 5th floor and 7th floor, this is a stock investment scam.
01:27But the difference is that on the 7th floor,
01:30there is spamming going on using a Hong Kong mobile.
01:33On the 6th floor, it's an online betting scam.
01:37Their particular target is Indians.
01:40On the 6th floor, it's Filipino employees.
01:43You can also see scripts on computers that are being used for fraud.
01:48They have a task scam, lab scam, and the so-called Indian sports betting scam.
01:55They've been operating for two years and they never stop.
01:58They came from Mayasiana.
02:00When it got hot there, they moved here.
02:02Sometimes, this Pogo was raided.
02:04That's why the closure order was closed.
02:07Despite that, and in the case of Pogo Ban,
02:10the operation continued under a different name.
02:14There are business licenses from the LGU and barangay permit.
02:18Before they issue their permits, like the barangay and city hall,
02:26they should do a religious inspection of the establishment.
02:33They need to check if their permit is entertainment.
02:37Are they really indulging their company in entertainment?
02:42Or maybe it's a scam, like what's happening here.
02:45The immigration status of all foreigners will be known,
02:48especially if all Pogo workers' work visas are cancelled.
02:52The Filipinos will also be under sequestration.
