#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. Google has sent out a notice to Ad Buyers that they will be expanding their list of geographies where "Online Gambling and Social Casino Gaming" will be allowed and made available to authorized buyers. This means anyone with a Google Ad Manager account will be able to promote content on online casinos, sport books, bingo and slot machines, online lottery, sports betting, and games using virtual currencies. Following the update, Authorized Buyers will be able to promote Online Gambling and Social Casino Gaming in an expanded list of geographies, and will not need to certify end advertisers with Google to promote this content.
