MANILA – The Professional Regulation Commission has warned the public against fixers who are preying on unsuspecting victims.
It has cautioned applicants and prospective takers of various licensure examinations, including registered professionals and members of their families, against unscrupulous individuals offering their services at PRC offices.
The modus operandi of these fixers is to pose or introduce themselves as PRC officials or employees and to assure the examinee or members of their families that they can guarantee the examinee to pass the board examination or facilitate the validation of licenses in exchange for money.
The PRC also said that it does not maintain an account on any social networking site, especially Facebook and Twitter.
Other than the PRC mobile services and the PRC I.D. Renewal Center at the Malls, it said that official transactions are done at all PRC offices and with authorized personnel only.
It said to verify the identity of a PRC official whose name may have been used by these fixers, the public is advised to check from the directory of PRC officials posted on this URL: http://www.prc.gov.ph.
PRC said it is continuously working closely with other government agencies for a more coordinated effort to combat their fraudulent activities. It also asks the public to help in this effort by reporting questionable transactions to the PRC by calling this telephone number (02) 310-0026 or write to this email address prcpimru@gmail.com and it assures the secrecy of all reports.
