MANILA, Philippines, 26 Aug 2010 – The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has filed before the Department of Justice a complaint against an individual posing as a recruiter of caregivers and nurses.
In its complaint-affidavit, AMLC filed 50 counts of money laundering charges against Wilfredo Almira Isaac, Jr., who has also been using different aliases such as Paul Almanza Sauer, Allain Boy Paras Mallabo, John Almira Jasmin, Cyrus Ramos Villanueva and Dennis Ramos Dominguez.
Isaac allegedly uses the Internet to manipulate unsuspecting victims.
He would pretend as a foreign employer posing as an official from different hospitals abroad. His advertisements are then posted on job search websites such as jobsdb and jobstreet.
He would then send e-mails to prospective applicants, requiring them to attend a “British English Training Course.”
He would entice them by saying they are not required to pay placement fees, processing fees, etc. The applicant’s salary will also not be deducted.
The employer will also allegedly shoulder the airfare, work permits and visa processing fees.
All that the applicant would pay are the medical and training fees, ranging from P3,000 to P45,000, to be paid to Carondelt Training and Review Center and Flyff Training and Review Center or to certain GCash accounts designated by the respondent.
Isaac would then tell the applicant that nobody has ever failed the training.
The applicants, who were never actually employed, filed estafa and large-scale illegal recruitment. The earliest case goes back to as early as 2007.
A warrant of arrest was consequently issued by the Manila Regional Trial Court.
Isaac was able to evade arrest, until the victims lost interest in pursuing the case.
It was subsequently dismissed.
AMLC however noted the money laundering charges should proceed because the main case was not assessed on its merits.
AMLC said the 50 counts of money laundering correspond to the number of cash out or withdrawal transactions he made with the money he obtained illegally.
