病毒曝光迫使菲律宾当局调查指控骗局中心

菲律宾的网络犯罪调查和协调中心（CICC）已经对可疑骗局进行了正式调查

The Philippines’ Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) has launched an official probe into a suspected scam hub operating in Cebu following a viral exposé by YouTube content creator mrwn.

菲律宾的网络犯罪调查和协调中心（CICC）在YouTube内容创建者MRWN的病毒式曝光之后，对在宿雾运行的可疑骗局中心进行了正式调查。

In a 23-minute video that has clocked up 2.7 million views on YouTube and is spreading rapidly across social media, mrwn hacked into the scam center’s computers and CCTV system to expose what appears to be a fraud ring operating out of a call center-style office.

在一个23分钟的视频中，它在YouTube上的观看次数增长了270万次，并且正在跨社交媒体迅速传播，MRWN入侵了骗局中心的计算机和CCTV系统，以揭露在呼叫中心式办公室中运行的欺诈环。

According to mrwn, the operation is estimated to earn $800,000 annually, with agents defrauding victims overseas through various methods, including stealing credit card data and coercing victims to transfer cryptocurrency via Bitcoin ATMs.

根据MRWN的说法，据估计，该行动每年赚取80万美元，特工通过各种方法欺骗受害者，包括窃取信用卡数据和胁迫受害者通过比特币ATMS转移加密货币。

To confront the scammers, mrwn posed as the operation’s financier, calling an agent’s computer through a messaging platform.

为了面对诈骗者，MRWN摆姿势为行动的金融家，通过消息平台拨打了代理商的计算机。

The office descended into chaos, with agents seen panicking and ignoring the call before contacting their floor manager, who then phoned the alleged boss using his mobile. Upon confirming the caller wasn’t legitimate, the manager blocked the account.

办公室陷入混乱，在与他们的地板经理联系之前，特工看到恐慌和忽略了电话，后者随后用他的手机给涉嫌的老板打电话。在确认呼叫者不是合法的情况下，经理阻止了该帐户。

Mrwn then sent live CCTV images of the office to the agents, prompting them to evacuate. The floor manager retreated to his private office, where mrwn used the built-in microphone of the manager’s laptop to speak to him directly.

然后，MRWN将办公室的现场闭路电视图像发送给代理商，促使他们撤离。地板经理撤退到他的私人办公室，MRWN使用经理笔记本电脑的内置麦克风直接与他交谈。

Local crypto news outlet BitPinas pointed out that the manager’s screen had email notifications of maintenance and login alerts from crypto exchanges Binance, Netcoin and local platform Coins.ph, raising further suspicion of cryptocurrency’s role in the operation.

当地加密新闻媒体Bitpinas指出，经理的屏幕收到了来自加密交易所Binance，Netcoin和Local Platform Coins.ph的维护和登录警报的电子邮件通知。

Mrwn shared screenshots of his attempts to contact various Philippine government agencies. Most went unanswered, except for the Department of Justice, which advised filing a local police report. This was not feasible for mrwn as he is not based in the Philippines. One viewer emailed mrwn expressing frustration over the prevalence of scammers in the Southeast Asian country and the lack of government action.

MRWN分享了他试图联系各种菲律宾政府机构的屏幕截图。除司法部外，大多数人没有得到答复，该部门建议提交当地警察报告。对于MRWN而言，这是不可行的，因为他不在菲律宾。一位观众通过电子邮件发送了MRWN对东南亚国家骗子的流行以及缺乏政府行动的流行表示沮丧。

However, the video’s virality appears to have finally sparked a response.

但是，视频的病毒性似乎终于引发了回应。

“We want to reject the notion that the Philippine government does not act in the face of adversity,” DICT Assistant Secretary Renato Paraiso said in a virtual press conference, directly addressing mrwn while vowing to launch an official investigation.

“我们想拒绝菲律宾政府面对逆境行事的观念，”塞特助理秘书雷纳托·帕拉伊索（Renato Paraiso）在虚拟新闻发布会上说，他在誓言宣布官方调查时直接解决了MRWN。

“The investigation of mrwn has provided good leads, and in fact, we have several persons of interest already that we would pursue our investigation and hopefully we can attribute certain crimes with them and we would get their locations and apprehend them.”

“对MRWN的调查提供了良好的潜在客户，实际上，我们已经有几个感兴趣的人，我们将进行调查，并希望我们可以将某些罪行归因于他们，我们将获得他们的位置并逮捕他们。”
