Defining the News

The Bureau of Immigration on Monday urged the public to report fraudulent websites claiming to operate as electronic travel or eTravel sites.

“The eTravel service is free of charge. Any website using the eTravel name and logo is fake and is a scam,” the BI said in an advisory. It is an interagency project with the Department of Tourism, the Department of Information and Communications Technology, the Bureau of Quarantine, the Bureau of Customs, the Department of Health, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Justice, and the National Privacy Commission.The BI, meanwhile, arrested two Korean fugitives in Pampanga for their alleged involvement in fraud and other crimes in South Korea and the United States.

“They will soon be deported to Korea and the US as summary deportation orders were already against them by the BI board of commissioners,” BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said in a statement.
