The DTI over the weekend said it found at least 37 Philippines-based sellers in Facebook’s marketplace noncompliant with the law, with violations ranging from failing to indicate prices for their products to having fake business permits.
The government agency said these sellers were tagged as such in only just a week’s worth of operations under their DTI Legit Check initiative, where they check the legitimacy of online sellers, hinting that these are but a fraction of the problem in online platforms.“We have discovered many that have fake business registration.
Valdez said they have already referred some of these cases to the National Bureau of Investigation, with plans of working together with the Philippine National Police directly as well to speed up the process of catching online sellers with fake permits.
