We’re all for scoring firsts…but not this way.
“Charges of computer-related forgery—said to be the first under a Supreme Court-upheld Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012—have been filed against a Filipina named Karla Martinez A. Ignacio involved in unauthorized money transfers from a Philippine National Bank (PNB) branch in Guam,” reports BusinessWorld Online.
The report noted: “The Las Piñas City Prosecutor’s office said Ms. Ignacio, along with a certain Sunny Pullan Juan and Gretchen Quilit Andres, conspired to transfer funds from the PNB Guam branch, using the bank manager’s user ID, to PNB branches in the Philippines.”
Ignacio was said to have had a total of P1,373,053 deposited to her PNB account, which was connected to the bank’s Barangay Almanza, Las Piñas branch.
Each time she got a deposit, Ignacio went to the bank to withdraw money. In fact, the report said that she “was arrested last May 22 while trying to withdraw the rest of the money from her account.”
