00:00Arrested in Muntinlupa are two people selling SIM card modem pool that is being used for scam.
00:08In Pasig, 8 were arrested because of the use of signal jammer online.
00:14Maki Pulido was on the scene.
00:20For the amount of P3,500 to P6,500, this SIM card modem pool is being sold online.
00:28The four devices can text blast almost 100 text messages in one click of a send.
00:34It is being used for phishing or sending text messages with a link
00:38to get the personal information of the victim of online scamming.
00:42According to PNPACG, this was slid by an electrician of a pogo shop and was planned to be sold online.
00:49Maybe because he lost his job, he was able to get one of these machines.
00:55Just to have money, he was able to sell it cheaply.
01:00P3,500 for 5 to 10 meters of signal jammer, P52,000 for 500 square meters of range.
01:09These signal jammers that we arrested are being ordered in China.
01:16And then they are reselling this online.
01:18The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group was able to monitor the sale,
01:22so they conducted a separate buy-bust operation.
01:25Eight people were arrested for selling signal jammers in Pasig City.
01:29Two were arrested for selling SIM card modem pools in Muntinlupa.
01:33They will be charged with violating the Anti-Cybercrime Law.
01:37These devices are highly regulated and need permission from the National Telecommunication Commission
01:43to be sold and used.
01:45Eventually, these devices will be used in crime.
01:49So why not disrupt them while they are not being used?
01:53We know that there are many victims of scams using these machines.
02:00So why should we wait for them to commit scams?
