Several Chinese POGO workers in the Philippines have been arrested! They impersonated bank staff and their scam failed!

Recently, the Philippine police arrested several Chinese nationals who were impersonating bank employees to commit fraud. The police revealed that these suspects disguised themselves as local bank staff and used phone calls or social media to lure victims into providing account information and verification codes, allegedly engaging in targeted financial fraud activities.

Among them, three individuals were particularly sensitive in identity, found to be former employees of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) and had already been listed on the "alert list" by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration, indicating their past involvement in suspicious or illegal activities.

The police pointed out that these suspects were accustomed to impersonating bank customer service or specialists, using excuses such as "account anomalies" and "need for verification" over the phone to extract personal account information, allegedly using technical means to commit fund theft and identity fraud.

At the time of arrest, some of the Chinese suspects were found with forged work IDs and bank uniforms, and communication devices and counterfeit document templates were seized at the scene.
