Beware of scammers

In other news, Pagcor sent a warning last week warning the public against “unscrupulous individuals who are posing as Pagcor employees to defraud unsuspecting victims.”

The scammers reportedly have swindled substantial amounts of cash from several victims in exchange for a promise of a huge contract or project from Pagcor.

“Pagcor cautions the public to be wary of individuals who would offer to facilitate deals with the Corporation in exchange for cash. Likewise, we urge everyone to immediately report such fraudulent acts to the proper authorities,” said Pagcor in a statement on July 19.
