Based on information received by the Commission, a number of individuals or group of persons claiming to represent UNIVERSAL BOT CORPORATION / UNIVERSAL CHATBOT ONLINE SHOP with DTI Certificate of Business Name Registration issued in favor of ELAINE KHO, are enticing the public to invest their money in said entity. As posted online, UNIVERSAL BOT CORPORATION / UNIVERSAL CHATBOT ONLINE SHOP is offering investments to the public with a minimal amount of PHP130 – PHP150 per account. Investors may earn unlimited earnings depending on the user’s amount of time spent responding with the chatbot. Interested individuals may contact any agent and avail of an account. The agent will then send a link to begin responding with the chatbot. Packages include (1) Translator, (2) Multiplication, (3) Addition, and (4) Subtraction, and for every correct answer, users will earn Php20, Php10, Php10 and Php10, consecutively. Investors may earn unlimited earnings as there is no maximum response for the chatbot per day and there is no time interval per question from the chatbot.
