Book now, fly never? Online travel scams on the rise in PH
Two Israeli nationals, Beniashvili Tzahy, 30, and Liel Arzi, 25, were arrested in Angeles City, Pampanga, for allegedly operating a scam hub.
They were caught actively using a workstation with multiple computers connected to trading applications, suspected to be part of a business process outsourcing operation used for fraudulent activities.
The suspects allegedly enticed victims with fake investment mentorship programs and trading opportunities, ultimately seeking to gain unauthorized access to bank account details.
This syndicate reportedly masquerades as an account management office, luring potential investors from countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK.
Tzahy possessed a working visa, while Arzi was on a tourist visa.
The arrested Israelis are in the custody of the Bureau of Immigration and will undergo deportation proceedings.
