Assault! Multi-sector joint raid in the Philippines! Detain the Chinese, 255 of them!

The division was identified as the Golden Koi Lending Company Incorporated, and authorities searched the division's offices in Makati at the One Salcedo Center in Salcedo Village, the report said.

It is reported that law enforcement officers seized and inspected the division's computers and interrogated 255 employees of the division, accusing them of involvement in cyber harassment fraud.

It is said that some customers have been harassed online because they have not paid their monthly membership fees by using online lending apps such as Wow Pera, Zippeso, Valley Loan and Lemon Loan.

Complainants allege that he received harassing messages on his email and social media, as did his relatives, friends and acquaintances.

The Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Unit revealed that the division, formerly known as reasure Bowl Fintech Lending Corp., had unexpectedly disappeared earlier this year after a large number of complaints about the division.

It is reported that the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a moratorium on lending companies since 2021, but some lending companies will still be able to obtain preliminary registration in 2022.

According to the report, the 255 people questioned included 251 Filipinos, 2 Malays, 1 mainland Chinese and 1 Taiwanese. They were temporarily detained for questioning for alleged violations of the Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act, the RA 11765 Act or the Financial Products and Services Consumer Protection Act, and the RA 11394 Act or the SIM Registration Act.
