Honestly speaking, I have never encountered a phishing attack. Even if I would have then I am quite sure I would have figured it out that it was a phishing site.
I do keep reading the news to find out that so many people get scammed by phishing sites. Either the people must be really dumb or the scammer must have developed the phishing really well.
Anyway, it's good to know that somewhere in the world, people are actually doing their jobs well and catching these scammers and punishing them for the same.
It's always good to find out that bad people get punished for what they have done.

I think people who got tricked by those phishing sites either no knowledge about of the computer or they were too careless in taking a safety precaution when logging in their personal account. There are more advanced safety precaution already that the sites offered to these people yet they don't bother to apply it.

It (maybe) were just surprised that we are already scam. Not intentionally we want it to happen but because we think that is the correct site or it similar to look at. Not only noobs been a victim to this but all of us are subject into this. Scammers are too smart to think at this time, they actually developing their strategy also for them not easily caught by the public.

The more that cryptocurrency gets awareness, I believe that the more the days of scammer will be numbered, because then, government would have to protect their citizens so that the number of people going bankruptcy in their country will not increase because cryptocurrency theft really has a way of making people go bankruptcy.

Since we have many people that have never in their life listen to advise never to invest money that they cannot afford to lose, that is when you see someone really investing all his life savings in the project which I count as out of greed and was never out of luv to support the project. Government now will see the reason why they should get involved in bitcoin and regulate it, one there is regulation, there will be more of these arrests.

This is better, they are arrested. In many case, bad peoples still not arrested. I think most of their victim is newbie or people who want to get more additional income

Avoid
1. mallware download
Sometimes this is not easy to recognized

2. Phising
It can recognized more easy and if user read carefully about it

3. Fliping scams / double money / HYIP / Pyramid Scheme
No one want to double money other peoples. Do you want to double my BTC? Most of people now know about it

4. Fake exchange
At first, they appear as not fake exchange but shit exchange. Sometimes shitexchange add small coin and shit coin. most of them also fake their volume. What they steal from users?
1. KYC Data
2. Email and password

The scammers are choosing Philippines as place to scam investors because people here are easy to get scammed because of lack of knowledge and the want to get profit in a quick way.Well at least they got arrested but I believe that more scams like this will occur in the future. What Philippinian Bros need is a seminar about cryptocurrency or even the basics of Bitcoin and how not to get scammed by these scammers.

They were actually scamming Chinese people, not Filipinos. Grin

@stompix indeed the title is click bait and it seems people do not even read the article properly, they only read the headlines and then post it here. There’s no conclusive proof available to say those employees didn’t knew what they were getting into, and now it doesn’t matter since they’re being deported to China and most likely they will be tried under the Chinese law. As for your question why did no one suspect them earlier, it could be because they had bribed the local officials, and since they were targeting Chinese people the local authorities never felt the need to be suspicious about them.

Luckily for those investors the Chinese government reacted quickly and they will be deported to their country, as their international passports have been canceled by the Chinese government. Grin

We see a lot of Bitcoin scammers relocating to sovereign islands to execute their scams, in the hope that they would not be extradited to their country of origin and also for the tax breaks. Tongue

I think the Phillippines needs more firm and stricter laws that will serve harsher punishments to those who've committed these kinds

of cyber frauds in order to discouraged potential actors. If this will not be implemented asap, chances are more of these fraudulent

activities would operate under the Philippines crypto friendly policy and that would be detrimental to the crypto-industry in general.

Which should be taking notes by the government all over the world especially those who are willing to adopt crypto currency. This news that spread bad image for crypto for being another venue for scamming people, not only those who are not well aware with this kind of investment currencies. Having a much stronger ruling for such Cyber case will warn those people who took overseas like Chinese to travel and do the same act.

Indeed! The crypto industry badly needs an effective deterrent that will discourage and minimize these kinds of wrongdoings!
What we need is applying the "strong teeth of the law" to the fullest extent but I wonder if this will be the priority of
Governments or if they have the "political will" to enforce it?

Good to see news like these where criminal trying to take advantage of people and their life savings are put behind bars and these dumb criminals would have thought they could get away with BTCitcoin and so is the reason many cases are coming up in the past few years involving BTCitcoin where these scammers are luring people into investing in ponzi scams and other HYIP investments promising big returns.

They do deserve this. All scammers should be prosecuted lawfully. Unfortunately, its the peoples fault. They fall for all these bullshit scams. The scams are most of the time quite obvious, but like you said, due to their greed they don't think straight and then falls for the scam. These people are the ones that are actually influencing those scammers even more sadly.

Again with the Bitcoin being dragged as an evil one on this.
Without knowledge they would not understand it and I do think there is a lot of people who will say it is bitcoin's fault even if there is no one behind bitcoin.

A currency being accused is the same as USD should be accused. Grin

But this happened before in the same country and they made a wrong type of news which had been cleared a week after.
They should be clear on how the output will be or how the news anchor will interpret.

I think scammers are more attracted to the third world countries since they think that most people from that country doesn't know what is cryptocurrency and how does it work. Well, as i have understood from the news they have pending cases left from their country where they scammed a lot of Chinese nationals then moved to Philippines to find another possible investors to be their next target.

People from the Philippines should have a slight idea on what is cryptocurrency if they really want to earn from it. It should start from the media to expand the use of cryptocurrency as it is the key to let people know quickly.

I've never visited any crypto website that asks for your private keys.

Waves platform allows cheap tokens to be made. And at some point more and more token "airdrops" popped up: they were asking the private key (not the Waves address!) to allegedly send tokens.
I gave this example because I've visited 1-2 such sites myself, just to see how they try to scam.

I expect that similar "giveaways" were done for Bitcoin too, although I didn't see any (maybe excepting the forks).

Luckily they were arrested and it seems that someone with a brain know what to do. Grin

Base on what written on the article and base on my understanding, those Chinese nationals fly to Philippines and they already have pending cases in China and that's why the Chinese embassy gives signal to the Philippine government about this matter. Anyway, I have to agree that Filipinos is yet to fully understand bitcoin but I believe we are on that way and i know Philippines will be one of the country who will support cryptocurrency, this case is good for the Filipino people.

Well I hate to agree with youbut I think you are right about it.
Most of my fellow countrymen doesn't really know about it and only thinks of it as a token for investment or an investment tool.
Let's just hope that the people who got scammed would get back their money and for those scammers to be put in jail .

According to the news they work as an exchange, they are located in one of the provinces in the Philippines and they are regulated by the Economic Zone where they are located, I watched the interview of the Economic zone lawyer and these company is being monitored and they pay their taxes and obligations to the Economic Zone authority, I was surprised, there's a different story here.

They should first be investigated, there are many Chinese coming here to set up this kind of activity and trying to cover their front by establishing as a legit entity.

Several of these scam company do registered but the way they operate is far different than what service they had registered. They hide their activities by pretending that they follow regulation and pay taxes but behind those are their scummy ways. So it is not a surprised for me if such thing happen in this case.

They should also punish those government officials invovled in this case.

The legal registration is only a front of their hidden illegal activities.
It is easy to deceive users if they have legal documents in place.
However, people should look into their registration also as they are only entitled to operate in one area (Pasig City) but extend their services to other parts of Metro Manila.
And also, they are not in any way registered to do any crypto dealings, so the blame is on those users as well, they haven't done their due diligence before doing business with them.
But in general, a good catch by authorities. But another bad news that will give notion to ordinary consumers that dealing with crypto is really shady.

That's exactly what they are after. The crypto ecosystem is constantly growing in terms of adoption, so these scams will not run out of newbies to steal from unfortunately, but surf these adoption waves to maximize their profits....

It shouldn't come as a surprise that more scams pop up each time the price goes up a lot, because the price is exactly what most people enter crypto for. These scammers know that and use that momentum in their advantage.

People saying that newbies are too naive and greedy are certainly right, but come on, we've all been at a point where we did stupid things that lead to a loss. Losing money is the most efficient wake-up call there is.

Some tricks are so cheap to fall for when it comes to malware and phishing sites. It is so strange how people can be very greedy to follow links that promises them free money or whatsoever without having to work for it. People who fall such tricks are mostly greedy or novice who are new to such tricks.

When I get to read news like this, I am just glad and its because its about unraveling the people who hide behind crypto to perpetrate crime thinking that they can go away with it. Just yesterday I had read about a report of where kidnappers demanded to be paid in bitcoin so as to avoid being tracked by government agents and bring them to book for their actions. This make me wonder that an emerging technology that is changing the way we do things is about to be bastardized by people who cannot see beyond tomorrow.

This is actually another exposure to people to stop falling for cheap scam on the internet that promises them unimaginable return within a short period of time. Its simply an avenue to lure their resources away from them for some people to pleasure over.

Phishing incidence is the Philippines is very rampant and many Filipino cryptocurrency enthusiasts/users have already been a victim of this kind of hacking activities and scams. Some of them were my colleagues and friends and have lost a significant amount of cryptocurrency. The Philippine government have no clear regulations and have no system to track and trace the culprits and so I am very happy to hear that some Chinese nationals were caught and put this justice.

Its very surprising how some people can just decide to give a try to something they knew anything about,i guess that's why they keep falling for this kind of cheap tricks, same thing is happening to newbies on this forum, they don't care about learning first and they want to make quick money which makes them do lots of mistakes before they start learning

Its because newbies are still lack of knowledge and they need some guidance, those scammers should face the consequences because its was their choice in the first place. They are just putting themselves into some sort of trouble, people nowadays must be aware in this kind of scam to be prepared and be able to avoid it because scammers are everywhere.

I hope in future more of these criminals will face karma one way or the other and people should stop trying to double bitcoin without working for it, its simply greed

Typically, investors are attracted over favorable conditions. They want to increase their fortunes, and as a result fall into the hands of fraudsters, as happened in this case. Especially when it comes to getting a large number of Bitcoins, it sounds extremely attractive

At least they were arrested, thieves stealing crypto are still thieves and they should be punished for their actions.

Unfortunately for them, as far as I've heard Asia doesn't have a very fair justice system and they might as well already be guilty. Hopefully all of them truly were.

Its very surprising how some people can just decide to give a try to something they knew anything about,i guess that's why they keep falling for this kind of cheap tricks, same thing is happening to newbies on this forum, they don't care about learning first and they want to make quick money which makes them do lots of mistakes before they start learning

I've never visited any crypto website that asks for your private keys.
Coin giveaways in exchange of downloading some shady software or app?People should be really naive,in order to fall into such bullshit scams.I'm glad that the scammers were arrested.The police in the Philippines should keep it up with the good work.
