The travel control and enforcement unit (TCEU) of the Philippine Immigration Authority (BI) announced on Friday that it saved six alleged victims of a "cryptocurrency retail ring", the Filipino State State news agency.

The Commissioner of the Immigration Authority, Norman Garcera Tanzingco, said that BI officials had caught the alleged victims when they wanted to climb a plane to Phnom Penh on January 15. The commissioner found that these passengers had fake return flight tickets and said they had given "inconsistent answers" questions from BI officials "who were suspected that they were only disguised as tourists, but their purpose is to work abroad."

Ann Camille Mina, deputy head of the TCEU, commented:

Finally, they admitted that they will work in a call center in Cambodia and were recruited via Facebook.

authorities examine government officials

Tanzingco promised to take action against all BI employees who are involved in crypto trading soyndic. He found that the immigration officer, who had released the passengers for departure, was released from their duties until the end of an examination. The Commissioner said:

We also want to help you find illegal recruiters and arrest, tempt the employees to take part in their illegal program ... they are the root of this social problem and must also be arrested for this crime.

The immigration authority is currently examining at least three people who are interested in the case, said BI spokeswoman Dana Sandoval. Regarding whether this case of the crypto trade is related to human trafficking, she was related in Cambodia and Myanmar: "This is what worries us. It seems to be related."

Syndicates for cryptocrimality recruit unsuspecting victims for working in call centers, especially in Asian countries, and contain people on social media and dating apps. One of the most common tasks for victims of human trafficking is "pork slaughter", a kind of crypto fraud. According to a test report from propublica:

Tens of thousands of people from all over Asia were forced to cheat on millions of dollars around the world. Those who resist face blows, food trains or worse.

The US authorities have repeatedly warned that the crypto fraud with the pork slaughter increases more and more terrifyingly popular . In November last year, the US Ministry of Justice (doj) seven domain names that are used in pork slaughter systems. "Be very careful when you go to social media and dating apps and someone start to build a relationship with you and want you to start investing ... don't let yourself be slaughtered," said an FBI official warned .
