The Philippine regulator has reported that fraudsters have been using the PAGCOR’s name and inviting business owners to join a fake tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Philippines.-\u00a0The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR)\u00a0<\/strong>has issued a warning about a group that has been using the regulator’s name for a fake tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to PAGCOR, fraudsters have been inviting business owners to enter a bid<\/strong>\u00a0to supply pastries and bottled water to PAGCOR, including its Casino Filipino branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulator said in a statement: “These\u00a0fraudsters used fake documents and forged the signatures of some PAGCOR officials<\/strong>\u00a0to ask for hefty fees, which will allegedly help the suppliers secure a contract with PAGCOR.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAGCOR\u00a0<\/strong>warned local business owners not to fall prey to these fraudulent activities and\u00a0suggested verifying the legitimacy of any PAGCOR-related <\/strong>communications with the regulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAGCOR<\/a>\u00a0recently remitted US$28.3m to the Philippines National Treasury to help the government fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAGOR\u2018s revenue for 2020 was\u00a0US$624m, down 60.4 per cent<\/strong>\u00a0year-on-year and the lowest for at least seven years. The\u00a0Covid-19 pandemic deeply affected casino revenues<\/strong>\u00a0due to\u00a0several lockdowns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAGCOR Chairman and CEO\u00a0Andrea Domingo<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cAfter more than a year into the pandemic,\u00a0PAGCOR is still doing its best<\/strong>\u00a0to fulfil our mandate and commitment to nation-building.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe may be in a very challenging time, but we are all in this together. Because of PAGCOR\u2019s prudent use of funds and continuous effort to generate revenues<\/strong>, can to help fund necessary government programs amidst the crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
