MANILA, Philippines — The Soccskargen Police Regional Office (PRO 12) reminded the public to be vigilant about investment scams, pointing out that even police officials had fallen for them. Gen. Eliseo Rasco, director of PRO 12 said in a statement issued on Wednesday. Take time to check that the investment opportunities offered to you are legitimate before you hand over any money. Be suspicious of these “investment offers.” Even if someone you know or trust makes the offer, check it out first. If you suspect that you’re dealing with scammers or if you have already been victimized, file a complaint with PRO 12, the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), or the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
