An office in Cebu City, suspected to be running a scam hub, was recently shut down by authorities—and what they found inside left more questions than answers.

During an ocular inspection led by the Philippine National Police (PNP), the place was deserted. No people. Just rows of computers, several laptops, and a bunch of personal belongings that seemed to have been left behind in a rush—possibly by employees.

The PNP served a search warrant to dig deeper into the contents of the devices. Investigators are now trying to determine if the office was involved in any illegal activities.

So how did this all come to light?

It actually started with a viral video on social media. A content creator, claiming to be a hacker, uploaded footage showing that they had accessed the office’s CCTV system. The clip showed what looked like a bustling call center—and that instantly sparked suspicion and public concern.

The video quickly made rounds online and caught the attention of authorities, prompting them to act.

While no arrests have been made yet, the PNP is now analyzing the seized equipment to see if there’s any solid proof of fraudulent operations. Investigators also plan to trace the people who worked there and who may have managed the operation.

This is a developing story, and all eyes are on what the investigation will reveal. Is this just another call center—or a front for a much bigger scam operation? We’ll find out soon enough.
