Online Scamming

Back in the days, online scams were perpetrated via emails, forums or instant messenger (YM mostly). Kickstart Ventures Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Globe Telecom has recently invested $100K dollars or more than Php4M in startup online learning platform Kalibrr. Kalibrr is an online learning platform that is designed to help Filipinos qualify and land jobs in the local business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. Once users complete the online program (some of their graduates completed it in a week), Kalibrr refers them to its partner companies for a job interview. And since it is an online platform, you can attend the program at home or at an internet cafe. The Philippine National Police (PNP) is ramping up its efforts against the illegal sale of banned firecrackers, especially online, as New Year celebrations draw closer. According to the PNP, cyber-patrol teams are now actively monitoring online marketplaces and social media to catch sellers offering prohibited fireworks.
