MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Justice (DOJ) started yesterday its preliminary investigation on the syndicated estafa complaint filed by victims of the P3-billion investment scam allegedly perpetrated by One Dream Global Marketing Inc.
Prosecutor General Claro Arellano created a panel of prosecutors to conduct the probe of the complaint lodged by 18 victims from Lipa City, Batangas against One Dream president Arnel Gacer and 10 other officers.
Arellano ordered Assistant State Prosecutors Susan Villanueva, Rohaira Lao and Mary Ann Parong to determine if there is probable cause against the respondents.
Also being probed are One Dream vice president Jobelle de Guzman and officers Ariel Gacer, Richard Ramos, Jay-Ar de Guzman, Marlon de Guzman, Judith Itoh, Jun de Guzman, Lui de Guzman, Linda de Guzman and Joel de Guzman.
The complainants alleged that One Dream duped investors using the system profit scheme.
Under the scheme, an investment of P888 was supposed to get a pay-out of P1,300 in just four days.
