|July 31 2025
Four South Korean nationals have been arrested in Angeles City in Pampanga for engaging in online scams, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said on Wednesday, July 30.
The BI identified the suspects as Ham Seong Hwan, 38; Kim Jongbaek, 21; Kim Taekyeong, 37, and Park Jinhyung, 36.
It said the group lures travelers through various platforms such as fake hotel websites with low rates, bogus flights, and tour offers and impersonating travel agents aimed at people seeking luxury holidays.
Park, the BI said, is suspected to be the head of the scam operations and he has been found to be an overstaying alien since 2024.
