Iparehistro na ang inyong SIM card!

 

May 25 na MTR station kung saan maaring magpatulong magrehistro ng SIM card

Nagpaalala ang gobyerno na ipalista na ang tunay na pangalan ng bawat gumagamit ng mga SIM card dahil hindi na magagamit ang mga ito pagkatapos ng Huwebes, Feb. 23.

Maari ding mailipat na sa iba ang numero, at kung ano mang halaga ang natitira sa load ay hindi na mababawi.

Magdudulot din ito ng malaking abala kung ang numero sa SIM card ang nakalista na contact number mo sa bangko, sangay ng gobyerno na maaring tumawag sa iyo katulad ng Immigration Department o Hospital Authority. Kakailanganin mo silang lahat tawagan o sabihan ng bago mong numero sakaling mawala sa iyo ang dati dahil hindi mo naparehistro.

Ang sapilitang pagpapalista ng pangalan ng gumagamit sa bawat SIM card ay alinsunod sa patakaran na pinapapatupad na ngayon sa iba-ibang bansa, kabilang ang Pilipinas.

Layon nito ang mapatigil sa paggamit ng hindi rehistradong numero ang mga manloloko at masasamang loob.

Money laundering cases are surging, say police

 

Police show materials they use to warn public against fraud and money laundering

With barely two months into the new year, the number of people arrested on suspicion of money laundering is already more than half of the total last year, said the police.

Officers who held a press briefing Friday said more than 1,1150 people were arrested for this offence in 2022. Since the start of the year, more than 630 people have already been detained on suspicion of laundering a whopping $7.8 billion.

The big jump in the number of arrests is being attributed to the rise in fraud cases during the pandemic. People behind the scams needed to hide the illicit money they obtained.

Chief Inspector Tse Tsz-fung said online sales fraud is one of the major areas of concern.

“This is one of the very typical type, where we have a deception case. You have the money, the crime proceed(s), the deceived money going into a bank account of an unknown person,” he said.

The end result is that the police catch the person who is the account holder, but has no idea about the deception that was committed, said Tse.

“All he knows is ‘I sold my account’, or ‘I lent it to my friend’, which is quite an unacceptable and unreasonable excuse we are seeing.”

He said the police have been at pains to tell the public no one should sell or lend their bank accounts to anyone because chances are, they will be used for money laundering. And if that happens, they will be equally liable as the people who laundered money through their accounts.

At the same time, they are trying to speed up the prosecution of those who get involved, wittingly or unwittingly, in the laundering trade.

“The Labour Department reminds job seekers to stay alert and vigilant when seeking jobs. It is crucial for all job seekers to understand thoroughly the background of the prospective employer as well as the job nature before accepting any job offer, and beware of online frauds and jobs that offer unreasonably high salaries, so as to avoid financial loss or jeopardizing your personal safety,” it added.

No more free tests, isolation centres from March

 

Staff and visitors at care homes will only need to take a RAT test, instead of a PCR test

The government announced today, Friday, that it will stop giving free PCR tests from next month because of the drop in demand for the service, and easing of pandemic restrictions.

At the same time, all isolation facilities will close so Covid-positive residents who wish to book a place in one should do so before Feb 21, as they will only be allowed to stay there for a week at most.
