The Philippines gaming regulator has issued a warning against a fake website that claims to ‘issue gaming licenses and accreditations using fake forms and content’.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) warns that www.pagcorphilippines.com is the work of scammers.
“We urge the public not to download anything or transact through the said fake website that uses the domain name www.pagcorphilippines.com because it is definitely not from PAGCOR and all its contents are spurious,” stated PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
PAGCOR has reported the site to the Department of Information and Communications Technology and is working to identify who is behind the fraudulent website.
“We shall go after them with the full force and extent of the law,” stated Tengco.
The website was launched on Saturday, February 22nd and “is clearly intended to fool people, particularly those who are seeking licenses to operate from PAGCOR”.
PAGCOR shared an image of the website, indicating misspelled words and a forged signature of Tengco.
The official noted that for any legitimate transactions with PAGCOR, its only website is www.pagcor.ph.
