Thousands of  Facebook users in the Philippines were surprised to find out that they have several dummy Facebook accounts on Sunday, June 7.


The Department of Justice - Office of Cybercrime (DOJ-OOC) said that it has received reports regarding the creation of dummy Facebook accounts of persons who have purportedly aired their grievances against the legislation of the Anti-Terrorism Bill, which aims to amend Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9372 or the Human Security Act of 2007.


In a statement, the DOJ encouraged everyone affected and those who have knowledge of relevant circumstance relating to the aforesaid modus to report the incident to the DOJ-OOC. Here's how:

Facebook profile username: (e.g., Juan Dela Cruz)
Facebook profile account link: (e.g., www.facebook.com/juan.delacruz)
Dummy account username: (e.g., Juan Delacruz)
Dummy account link: (e.g., www.facebook.com/juan.dela.cruz.111)


Please be reminded that the intentional acquisition, use, misuse, transfer, possession, alteration or deletion of identifying information belonging to another, whether natural or juridical, without right, and with or without damage, is a crime denominated as Computer-related Identity-Theft, which is defined and penalized under Section 4 (b)(3) of R.A. No. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.


Any person found guilty of the said offense shall be IMPRISONED for 6 years and 1 day to 12 years or shall be FINED at least Php200,000.00 up to a maximum amount commensurate to the damage incurred, or BOTH.
