(Eagle News) — Philippine National Police Chief Guillermo Eleazar has ordered the Anti-Cybercrime Group to step up its campaign against illegal online activities that are connected to the government’s COVID-19 response.
The PNP issued the statement after the Bureau of Immigration warned the public against unscrupulous individuals who sell fake entry permits online.
According to Eleazar, the ACG was tasked to look into the selling of fake RT-PCR test results and vaccination cards as well.
“Titiyakin natin na mananagot ang mga taong ito dahil hindi katanggap-tanggap na nakukuha pa nilang magsamantala sa kabila ng mga pagsubok na hinaharap natin dahil sa pandemya,” he said.
The PNP Chief urged the public to report to authorities any such scams and to not patronize the illegal activities.
“Pinapayuhan din natin ang ating mga kababayan na mag-ingat at huwag maniwala sa mga scammer na ito dahil hindi lang ang inyong mga sarili ang inilalagay ninyo sa alanganin kundi pati na rin ang ating mga kababayan sa gitna ng pagtaas ng mga kaso ng COVID sa ating bansa,” he said.
