A startling video depicting numerous laptops and mobile phones being thrown from the window of a high-rise building in Parañaque City has gone viral, exposing what authorities suspect was an attempt to destroy evidence at a clandestine scam operation.

The incident unfolded as agents from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) served an arrest warrant, leading to the discovery of a suspected “scam hub.”

The dramatic scene occurred on Monday, June 2, 2025, when operatives from the NBI-Criminal Intelligence Division (NBI-CRID) arrived at a residential unit in Parañaque to serve a warrant on a Chinese national facing murder charges.

Upon attempting to gain entry, NBI agents reported hearing a commotion and the sound of objects crashing onto the ground below.

“Nung hindi kami makapasok sa area, umikot kami doon sa mga possible entry points. Nakita namin mga nagtatapon ng mga laptop. Just imagine, laptop saka mga cellphone, tinatapon nila sa lapag para masira,” stated Noel Bocaling, Assistant Director for Intelligence Service at the NBI.

This observation prompted agents to investigate the building's ground floor, where they found a scattered array of smashed laptops, mobile phones, chargers, and various cables, clearly indicating a deliberate destruction of electronic devices.

Following this discovery, NBI operatives promptly entered the suspected unit. Inside, they found four Chinese nationals, leading to the immediate suspicion that the unit was operating as a small-scale scam hub.

The NBI believes the suspects resorted to destroying the gadgets in a desperate attempt to eliminate digital evidence related to their fraudulent activities.

Bocaling elaborated on the nature of the suspected scam. “Na-caught off guard sila. Nanloloko sila using the internet. And then nakaka-extract sila ng pera. Kasi ngayon, madali na ngayon through line na ngayon ang pagbayad ng pera eh,” he explained, suggesting that the group was engaged in online deception, leveraging internet-based payment systems to extort money from victims.

Subsequent forensic examination of the recovered, albeit damaged, gadgets confirmed the NBI's suspicions: the devices were indeed being used for various types of online scams.

The NBI also suspects that the four Chinese nationals apprehended are associates or employees of the primary Chinese national for whom the murder warrant was initially issued and who remains at large.

The four individuals found inside the unit have since been charged with violations of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10175) and the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA).

The incident highlights the persistent challenge posed by online fraud operations and the lengths to which perpetrators will go to evade capture and destroy incriminating evidence.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the full scope of the scamming activities and the whereabouts of the primary suspect.

News, photos, or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, this could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.
