NBI sues another alleged scammer

THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Northern Mindanao has charged one more person involved in a scam that promises investors double returns.

Lawyer Alex Cabornay, NBI-10 head of agents said, certain Jelie Rose Oredimo took a total of P3.945 million from five of her investors.

Cabornay said Oredimo is facing large scale swindling and five counts of violation of the Cybercrime law.

Cabornay described the suspect as one of the "big time handlers" of the illegal online investment scam.

"We will continue to prepare the charges of other personalities in my list of High Value or Big Time Handlers/Admins/Operators of this illegal on-line Investment that now materialized as a widespread scam," he said

"As I've said, I intend to file cases to all of them," he added. He also said that he has been focusing on the online scam activities as of late, while admitting that these online scam schemers still persist despite warnings and some suspects being criminally charged. (PJ Orias)
