MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police acknowledged Tuesday the possibility that the vaccine and vaccination slot for sale scheme may be a scam targeting specific people rather than a widespread modus. In a statement sent to reporters, Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, PNP chief said that the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group did not find other posts offering the sale of vaccines or vaccination slots when monitoring on all online platforms. “If we look at the first vaccine offerings and slots in our LGUs, they both have legitimate online businesses. According to Eleazar, the scheme could also be another form of online scamming, vaccines are given free to residents by local government units. "If the modus operandi is true, the PNP and NBI would be filing charges against individuals behind the Bakuna for Sale.
