The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today warned the public against a website that purports to issue gaming licenses and accreditations using fake forms and content, saying that the website 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,” according to PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
The PAGCOR chief said the signature on the accreditation forms on the website is not even his and is clearly a forgery.
“We have reported this incident to the Department of Information and Communications Technology,” Mr. Tengco said. “We are also working to identify the persons behind this fraud and we shall go after them with the full force and extent of the law.”
Mr. Tengco noted that the website was put up over the weekend, or last Saturday, February 22, when PAGCOR has no work.
“It is clearly intended to fool people, particularly those who are seeking licenses to operate from PAGCOR,” Mr. Tengco said.
“If you want to transact with PAGCOR, our legitimate and only website is www.pagcor.ph,” the PAGCOR chief added.
