7名男子涉贩售已注册电子钱包账户被捕



菲律宾国家调查局(NBI)近日展开诱捕行动，成功逮捕7名涉嫌向诈骗集团出售已验证电子钱包账户的嫌疑人。

当局在奎松市(Quezon City)联邦大道(Commonwealth)一家餐厅展开行动，成功逮捕7人并没收了已经注册是电子钱包的SIM卡。当局在后续的行动中另外逮捕两名嫌疑人。

国家调查局网络犯罪处处长杰里米·洛托克律师(Jeremy Lotoc)表示：“这些账户可用于各种在线活动，如诈骗或投资欺诈。这种作案手法是犯罪集团和诈骗者用来避免被当局追捕的一种手段。”

被捕者中有四人表示，他们出售电子钱包账户是因为迫切需要资金。然而，一名被捕者声称他不知道这种行为是违法的。

国调局希望通过新的立法打击此类活动，他们正在等待有关联子账户的参议院法案的通过，以进一步加强打击力度。

这七名嫌疑人面临违反第8484号共和国法令《接入设备管理法》和《SIM卡注册法案》的指控。这次逮捕表明国家调查局对网络犯罪的决心，以确保公众的安全。
