The Commission has received information that an individualor group of persons representing an entity named RCASHONLINE are enticing the public to invest their money in the said entity with the promise of high monetary rewards or profits.Information gathered from reports received by the Commission shows that RCASHONLINE entices the public to invest by offering a business opportunity through the following packages: (i) Starter Package:PhP18,660.00 for 1 account; (ii) Business Package:PhP55,980.00 for 3 accounts; and (iii) Elite Package:PhP130,620.00 for 7 accounts. The Elite Package is said to include a PhP1M insurance.Likewise, reports revealed that RCASHONLINE is representing Royale Businessand that Royale products are included in the abovementioned packages. It was emphasized that the member-investor will earn through recruitment rather than selling/reselling of products.Below are screenshots of some Facebook (FB) posts of its enticement:Furtherinvestigation online shows that RCASHONLINE is employing the same schemes and is being managed by the same person or group of persons operating theONLINEBIZandtheELITE ENTREP BLUE PRINT, which have been the subjects of the Advisories issued by the Commission on 23 April 2020and27 February 2020, respectively.It appears that the main strategy of the subject entity is to earn from recruitment, which is clearly unsustainable. The scheme of RCASHONLINE relies heavily on inviting people for a promise of high monetary rewards that can only be achieved through recruitment of more people to participate in the scheme. Its enticement/advertisement focuses on attracting people to earn huge amount of money rather than introducing the benefits or advantages of the products it offers.
