POLICE raided an outbound call center company for its alleged involvement in an Internet scam.
The raid was made after five employees of the Interface Techno-Phil Inc. tipped off the police that the company was allegedly into Internet scam, said Senior Insp. Michael Vertudazo, chief of the Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) in Central Visayas.
The company is located on the second floor of the Keppel Building at the Cebu Business Park in barangay Luz, Cebu City.
After the raid, at least 100 workers were invited for questioning before they were released.
More than 300 units of central processing units (CPU) and computer monitors were also seized.
Glenn Villariza, the company's legal counsel, denied that the company was engaged in illegal activities.
A search warrant issued by Regional Trial Court Judge Ramon Daomilas Jr. of Branch 11 was used by ACG operatives when they raided the company past midnight Thursday.
Vertudazo said they have been monitoring the company since January when they were tipped off of the alleged scam.
Vertudazo said the five workers claimed that they were bothered by their conscience that forced them to report the alleged scam.
They said most of the company's customers were Americans.
The workers told police that their job was to convince customers to fill up an electronic form in exchange for $2.99 as registration and other processing fees.
In return, the customer will be given $100 worth of gift card vouchers of all gasoline station in the United States and separate gift cards exclusive for Wallmark Grocery and other freebies.
The customer will also receive an e-mail from one Silva Norton who claimed to be the owner of a company based in Florida using the website "wakanetworksavings".
The payment is made through credit cards.
The workers said that once the payment is approved, they were prevented from communicating with the customers and that the promise to give the gift certificates will not be realized.
Some workers also complained that they were just paid P150 a day, police said.
The regular employees reportedly had no SSS and Pag-ibig remittances.
Vertudazo said the company has been operating for three years.
Vertudazo said the owner of the company and its officers will be facing charges for violating the Republic Act 8484 also known as the Access Devices Regulation Act. - greentiger| 1 replyhttp://cebudailynews.ph/news/story/10049

Call center raided by cops in Cebu for selling bogus gift cards to Americans

CEBU CITY, Philippines—Police raided an outbound call center company at the Cebu Business Park in Cebu City Thursday on suspicion that it duped Americans into buying bogus gift cards.
But Glenn Villariza, lawyer of Interface Techno-Phil Inc. located on the second floor of Keppel Building, denied the company was engaged in illegal activity. “As far as I know, their operation was legal,” he said.
Operatives of the Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) seized more than 300 computers and invited for questioning almost 100 employees who were later released.
Senior Inspector Michael Vertudazo, chief of ACG in Central Visayas, said the owners and officers of the call center company, which had been operating for three years, would be charged with violation of Republic Act 8484, an act regulating the issuance and use of access devices and prohibiting fraudulent acts.
The raid was done on the strength of a search warrant issued by Judge Ramon Daomilas Jr. of Regional Trial Court Branch 11.
Vertudazo, chief of ACG in Central Visayas, said the operation stemmed from the tip received by five employees of the company that Interface Techno-Phil was duping their customers.
Two of these employees signed an affidavit that convinced the judge to issue a search warrant, said Vertudazo.
He said the call center agents would call customers in the US and ask them to buy a registration card, which would cost $2.99 excluding processing fees in exchange for $100 gift card vouchers for all gasoline stations in the US, gift cards exclusive for Wallmark Grocery, and other freebies.
After the customers bought the cards through credit cards, the call center agents would no longer communicate with them.
During questioning, some agents complained that they only received P150 a day in wage. Regular employees allegedly didn’t have SSS and Pag-Ibig coverage.
