Where to report scammers in the Philippines
January 4, 2007
Don't be duped by scammers who reside or operate in the Philippines! Report them to the authorities and send them to jail!
The Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has repeatedly warned the public against falling for "get-rich-quick" scams. In its site (www.sec.gov.ph), the SEC reported that more and more boiler-room operations have recently emerged, targeting potential investors who want to earn high return on their money.
According to the SEC, if any person or persons approached or contacted you via email, phone, or any other means and offered you a ridiculously high return on your "investment" after a short period of time, protect yourself by asking for the following information first.
- Name of the person and the company making the offer;
- Address of the person and the company;
- Landline numbers of the person and the company (mobile phone numbers are difficult to trace); and
- SEC registration of the company stating they are eligible to take investments
If the person refused to give those information, better not to continue dealing with them. There's a high chance the company and the investment program are a fraud.
Some additional things to remember:
- Investment houses and financing companies with quasi-banking (QB) license and with SEC registered securities are the only ones allowed to offer investment instruments to more than 19 investors;
- Only SEC registered persons (brokers/dealers/salesmen) may offer or sell registered securities to the public;
- SEC company registration in itself DOES NOT automatically grant authority to sell investment instruments such as securities, bonds, commercial papers, etc. Here is a list of companies authorized by the SEC to accept investments from the public;
- Don't fall for people who give you promissory notes or post-dated checks as proof of your interest earnings. Those might be fake or contain insufficient funds. Scammers use this trick to show that they are supposedly genuine and paying.
If you encountered these people, report them to the:
SEC – Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Department (SEC-CED) at Phone No. (632)724-7650 or (632)727-2267 or the National Bureau of Investigation or the local police
The image below summarizes what the SEC wants you to do if you are faced in such a situation.
Don't let scammers scam you. Protect yourself and know what to do.

Well said Jo.
RMD since you are already established in the US and UK, post your trading license and legal papers up on your website!

Just yesterday. Meron nag yaya sa akin at buong family ko, mag invest sa RMD kaya pina-check namin sa SEC. Wala po silang records duuon.
This is a scam.

I checked out their website and tama kayo:
http://www.rmdgroupltd.co.uk/pub_docs.html
Their public docs are empty. Before you can even trade money in the Philippines dapat mag karoon kayo ng legal certificates muna. I mean it only takes 10 minutes to scan and post your document on your website. Why hanggan now wala parin kayong documentation?
I’m convinced that RMD is a scam. Investors beware!

hi guys, do you have any idea regarding sales promo scams or scratch and win scam. My friend was so exited that she won a chair massager worth 100k, but she has to buy a water purifier first before she can claim the massager. In short she bought that purifier for almost 50k. Help guyz..

Hi. I’d like to know if it is illegal to withdraw from the bank account of a dead person – even if the one who withdrew the amount is the widow (through Special Power of Attorney). The bank account was the pension the man received from SSS when he was still alive. But the widow always kept an amount in the bank and never withdrew all the amount. Until her spouse died. A month after he died, she withdraw all the amount. Will she be penalized for doing so?
Thanks.

MRS.KRISTIE UGERRI
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HEAD OFFICE BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK .
12 ADB AVENUE, ORTIGAS CENTER, MANDALUYONG CITY
PHILIPPINES.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS.KRISTIE UGERRI, CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK. I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification. I am a top official in charge of client accounts in (EQUITABLE PCI BANK) which is now BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK inside the Philippines the merger was late 2007.
In 2003, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United States of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament, my client came to me with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars ($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection.
Due to his untimely death in early 2004, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. This is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address and telephone number so that the attorney can commence his job.
The allocation of our money will be as follows: 30%($3.06m) to you for your part in this, 70% for me. Again, I will be in charge of everything else. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor so you don’t have to worry about any legal ramifications, just what you will do with all that money. Your urgent response is highly anticipated, so please get back to me if interested for more details on this transaction as soon as possible.
This should be kept very secret and confidential.
Hope to hear from you soon .
Kind Regards,
Mrs.Kristie Ugerri.
