|May 29, 2025
Authorities raided a suspected scam hub in Barangay Kasambagan on Tuesday afternoon, May 27, 2025, seizing computers and laptops allegedly used for online scamming activities.
-
The operation was conducted by the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit (RACU)-7, Cebu City Police Office (CCPO), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and other government agencies.
Lawmen were armed with a search warrant issued by Regional Trial Court Branch 7 Judge James Stewart Ramon Himalaloan in Cebu City. More than 40 computer units, including laptops, were inspected by RACU-7 operatives during the operation at BMJ Data Processing Services, reportedly operating as a scam hub.
According to Police Lieutenant Colonel Maria Theresa Macatangay, CCPO deputy city director for operations and spokesperson, the search warrant was issued following reports of illegal activity within the company.
The search was based on alleged violations of Republic Act 11765 (Financial Products and Services Consumer Protection Act), in relation to Section 6 of Republic Act 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012).
