4 Fraudsters Arrested by NBI Agents for Selling Gcash Accounts
The agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested four (4) fraudsters who allegedly sold accounts from the e-wallet Gcash app.
The NBI-Cybercrime Division detained four people in a coordinated series of raids for selling GCash accounts. The suspects Jay Cortez y Orozco, Kevin Mark Maboloc y Yong, Jeffrey Miguel y Quimirit, and Jeffrey Ilagan y Barraca were presented to the media on Monday, March 27.
The NBI obtained information that there are Facebook profiles involved in the sale of GCash accounts operating in Quezon City and Tondo, Manila, according to the agency. They conduct their business on Facebook and Messenger.
Authorities were able to transact with the defendants using the fake Facebook account to demand the price of each GCash account. According to the suspects, each account has a P100,000 transaction and they can register up to 100 more accounts.
Last week, they agreed to meet at three different times and locations, and the entrapment operation was also arranged. Maboloc and Cortez were apprehended in Matandang Balara, Quezon City, based on the report.
Miguel, on the other hand, was apprehended in Tondo, while Ilagan was apprehended in Quezon City’s North Avenue. The suspects were presented before the Quezon City City Prosecutor’s Office in connection with the Access Devices Regulation Act of 1998 case.
