The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warns the public against fraudulent activities involving the creation of eSECURE accounts.
The eSECURE system is a secure credentialing service under the Commission’s eKYC module, which includes biometric verification and liveness detection. Each account is 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 and must be created and completed solely by the applicant.
The submission of false or manipulated biometric data, forged or misleading documents, and inaccurate personal information is strictly prohibited. Violators may be subject to appropriate regulatory actions, including fines under the Revised Corporation Code.
The public is strongly advised to personally open their eSECURE accounts and refrain from engaging third parties for this purpose.
Reports of similar fraudulent activities may be submitted to the Enforcement and Investor Protection Department at [email protected].
