Puno 01:52 PM, Aug 20, 2021 

Good day! We are 3rd year Accountancy students from Polytechnic University of the Philippines and we are currently conducting a research relating to the Ponzi scheme, an investment fraud. In line with this, we would like to know the approximate number of victims of Ponzi schemes during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, particularly in NCR. If no data is available specifically for Ponzi schemes,  an approximate number of victims of investment fraud in general will do.  Hoping for your fast response. Thank you and have a nice day!
