BlackRock

January 23, 2023 ENFORCEMENT AND INVESTOR PROTECTION DEPARTMENT SEC ADVISORY This Advisory is prompted by reports received by the Commission regarding the unauthorized investment taking activities of "BLACKROCK." This was launched around August, Profile ng Kumpanya Ang BlackRock ay isa sa pinakamalaking grupo ng pamamahala ng asset sa mundo, na nakatuon sa pagtulong sa mas maraming mamumuhunan na makamit ang kayamanan at kaligayahan. Bilang isang tunay na pandaigdigang negosyo, pinagsasama ng BlackRock ang mga pandaigdigang bentahe sa mga lokal na kakayahan sa serbisyo sa pamumuhunan upang himukin ang matatag na pag-unlad ng negosyo sa mga pangunahing pandaigdigang merkado. Mayroon kaming humigit-kumulang 16,500 empleyado sa mga opisina sa 38 bansa at rehiyon, na naglilingkod sa mga customer sa mahigit 100 bansa at rehiyon. Hindi lamang tayo pinagkatiwalaan ng gobyerno at mga negosyo, kundi nagsisilbi rin sa mga institusyonal na mamumuhunan tulad ng mga pension fund, sovereign wealth fund, insurance, mga bangko, at mga non-profit na organisasyon, gayundin ang mga indibidwal na mamumuhunan. Noong Setyembre 30, 2021, ang kabuuang mga asset ng BlackRock sa ilalim ng pamamahala sa buong mundo ay humigit-kumulang $9.5 trilyon, na sumasaklaw sa mga equities, fixed income investments, cash management, energy investments, alternatibong investments at advisory strategy. ang sarap sa feeling na kahit ilang beses mo e search si blackrock sa SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) ay talagang nanduon sya sa at makikita mo rin ang mga malalaking companya dito sa pilipinas na nag iinvest ka black rock. sa mga gustong kumita at ituturo ko sayo tara pm ka choose the legit financial asset manager blackrock. At the moment they have started to steal the money of some of the investors, they claim it will be fixed within 72 hours. The case at hand was triggered by reports regarding an entity named BLACKROCK and also the surge of reports received by the Commission regarding entities that pose as legitimate investment websites and mobile application. Based on the information gathered from the said reports and data from open sources, the fake BLACKROCK , posing as or impersonating the New York City-based preeminent asset manager/investment company, BlackRock , is engaged in investment taking activities by introducing a platform that makes it appear that the investors will apparently earn through "crude oil energy," as follows: The said entity that has been using the name of BLACKROCK, INC. , offers 5 types of investment plans. From the said investment plans, it can be seen that investment plan A has a big daily income rate of 5.4% but only has one time purchase. In the investment plans from option B to E , the daily income or daily interest gradually rises as the time spent on hold increases. For example in complan B , the capital invested by the prospective investor shall be on hold for 7 days and it will earn a daily income of 1.5% of the capital which ranges from PHP100.00 to PHP5,000.00. In Complan E , the promised daily earning is increased to 2.73% but the capital investment shall be on hold for 180 days.

The investor's money shall then be at their mercy for the duration of time and in the said period of time, when the entity cannot sustain to give the profits of the investors, they will close down and leave the investors high and dry, all their hard-earned money taken away from them. Further, BLACKROCK also offers incentives or bonuses from signing in to their website. Every time a user checks in to their website or mobile application, the users are rewarded. This incentive or bonus is only an option but the investor will still earn through the commissions from their investment. Lastly, the said entity is using the name of BLACKROCK which is the same as the multinational investment company BLACKROCK, INC. Scammers have lately been using the names of reputable financial institutions to entice their victims in investing in their platform. The real BLACKROCK, INC. , has already explained that the entity offering investments is indeed very suspicious and believe it to be an active scam, as can be seen by the inquiry of one complainant. To wit: In this regard, the public is made aware that an "investment contract," which is a kind of security, exists when there is an investment or placement of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others which is prominent in the scheme of BLACKROCK . As such, the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) requires that said offer and sale of securities must be duly registered with the Commission and that the concerned entity and/or its agents should have the appropriate registration and/or license to sell such securities to the public. Based on the records of the Commission, BLACKROCK is NOT REGISTERED with the Commission AND OPERATES WITHOUT THE NECESSARY LICENSE AND/OR AUTHORITY to solicit, accept or take investments/placements from the public nor to issue investment contracts and other forms of securities defined under Section 3 of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) . Further, the scheme employed by BLACKROCK , has the characteristics of a "Ponzi Scheme" where monies from new investors are used in paying "fake profits" to prior 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. The offering and selling of securities in the form of investment contracts using the "Ponzi Scheme" which is fraudulent and unsustainable, is NOT a registrable security. The Commission will not issue a License to Sell Securities to the Public to persons or entities that are engaged in this business or scheme. In view thereof, the public is hereby advised NOT TO INVEST or to STOP INVESTING in the investment scheme being offered by BLACKROCK , and its representatives . Accordingly, the Commission warns all unscrupulous individuals and/or entities that strict penalties are imposed for violations of the Securities Regulation Code, the Revised Corporation Code, and such other rules and regulations enforced by the Commission . Those who act as salesmen, brokers, dealers, agents, representatives, solicitors, operators, promoters, recruiters, uplines, influencers, endorsers, abettors and enablers of such unauthorized entities like the operators the fake BLACKROCK in selling or convincing people to invest in their investment scheme offered including solicitations and recruitment through the internet may likewise be criminally prosecuted and penalized with a maximum fine of Five Million pesos (P5,000,000.00) or a penalty of Twenty-one (21) years of imprisonment or both pursuant to Sections 28 and 73 of the SRC . 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. Should you have any information regarding the operation of BLACKROCK , and its representatives, please send your report through email at [emailprotected] . For the information and guidance of the public. Makati City, January 23, 2023.
