" The foregoing ALTERED and FALSIFIED Articles of Incorporation of R.L. AGGREGATES AND DIVERSIFIED LENDING GROUP, INC. was clearly circulated to mislead or deceive the public into believing that said entity is authorized to solicit, accept, or take investments/placements from the public and issue investments contracts without the required authority from the Commission. The public should be made aware that the issuance of a Certificate of Incorporation and Authority with the Commission as a Lending company only grants entities juridical personality but does not constitute an authority or license for the corporation to engage in activities that require a secondary license from the SEC such as License to Issue, Sell, or Offer Securities to the Public. The public must be wary that any promise of massive rates of return with little or no risk is an indication of a Ponzi Scheme where monies from new investors are used in paying fake "profits" to earlier investors and is designed mainly to favor its top recruiters and prior risk takers and is detrimental to subsequent members in case of scarcity of new investors. It must be clear that entities engaged in such activities likely tend to disappear shortly to the prejudice of their stakeholders. Consequently, the public is advised to exercise caution in dealing with any individuals or group of persons soliciting investments for and on behalf of R.L. AGGREGATES AND DIVERSIFIED LENDING GROUP, INC. or any entities engaged in solicitation activities guised as lending companies. Those who act as salesmen, brokers, dealers or agents of R.L. AGGREGATES AND DIVERSIFIED LENDING GROUP, INC. in selling or convincing people to invest in the investment scheme being offered by these entities including solicitations and recruitment through the internet may likewise be prosecuted and held criminally liable under Section 28 of the SRC and penalized with a maximum fine of Five Million pesos (P5,000,000.00) or penalty of Twenty-one (21) years of imprisonment or both pursuant to Section 73 of the SRC. Also, those who invite or recruit others to join or invest in such venture or offer investment contracts or securities to the public may incur criminal liability, or otherwise be sanctioned or penalized accordingly as held by the Supreme Court in the case of Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Oudine Santos (G.R. No. 195542, 19 March 2014) . Furthermore, the names of all those involved will be reported to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) so that the appropriate penalties and/or taxes be correspondingly assessed. The public is hereby advised NOT TO INVEST or STOP INVESTING in any investment scheme being offered by any individual or group of persons allegedly for or on behalf of R.L.
