00:00A Pogo operation in Paranaque has been going on for a long time.
00:05More than a hundred people were arrested, including five robbers,
00:10and the stolen goods were recovered, such as SIM cards and SCAM studios.
00:15Salima Refrat was on the scene.
00:17It's a Pogo operation in Paranaque, in the Bay Area of Paranaque City.
00:35A warrant of arrest was issued for a Chinese working there.
00:39The Bureau of Immigration also carried out a mission order.
00:43One hundred forty-six people were arrested, including the man with a warrant for fraud.
00:49Most of them were Chinese.
00:51There were also Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Indonesian, Malaysian, and Thai.
00:56In the initial verification of the Chinese Embassy,
00:59five Chinese fugitives were included among the arrested.
01:03This is one of the work areas in the Pogo operation in Paranaque City.
01:07Aside from the rows of computers, you can see their cellphones everywhere.
01:14Aside from that, their SIM cards are everywhere.
01:18All of this will be processed by the authorities
01:21when they get the warrant.
01:24More than two thousand smartphones were recovered.
01:28Thousands of international and local SIM cards.
01:32There are also money vaulters in the area.
01:35Every floor has a different scam.
01:37In the fifth floor and seventh floor, this is a stock investment scam.
01:41But the difference is that in the seventh floor,
01:44there is a spamming that is happening using a Hong Kong mobile.
01:47It's ABC mobile SIM card.
01:49And then in the sixth floor, it's an online betting scam.
01:54Their particular target is Indian.
01:56In the sixth floor, it's Filipino employees.
01:59We also saw scripts on computers that are used for fraud.
02:03There is also a scam studio that uses models to deceive crooks.
02:09They have a task scam, love scam, and the so-called Indian sports betting scam.
02:16They've been operating for two years and they never stop.
02:19They said they came from an Asian country.
02:21When it got hot there, they moved here.
02:24More than 300 Filipinos were arrested.
02:26One of them is under investigation.
02:29You too.
02:30Some of them are big boss chickens.
02:32What do you do?
02:34I'm concerned about my client.
02:40So, you're a customer service?
02:43Yes.
02:44What do you do?
02:46Betting.
02:47Online betting?
02:49Who's your customer?
02:50Indian.
02:51Are you operating this? Are you the big boss here?
02:55Yes, no?
02:56No?
02:58She's one of these people.
03:01Sometimes, this chicken was raided and issued a closure order.
03:04But despite that, and the chicken ban imposed,
03:08the operation continued under a different name.
03:11The license and permit were still in place.
03:14The chicken that was raided last night,
03:16almost equal to the illegal chicken that was also raided last January,
03:20where more than 400 were arrested by the BI.
03:24We're not talking of millions here.
03:26These people earn billions.
03:28That's why they're willing to fight,
03:31to arrest them,
03:32and to continue the operation.
03:35They will really fight because they earn a lot.
03:38It's surprising that despite the fact that the other one was raided,
03:41they're still operating.
03:43That's how tough the faces are now.
03:46That's how strong their hearts are.
