Singer Aiza Seguerra is demanding that EmGoldex promoters stop using his name and image to lure Filipinos into joining the scheme.
The scam continues thriving in the Philippines despite the Securities and Exchange Commission issuing a formal investment warning against it earlier this year. Local investors promoting EmGoldex have turned to a new tactic: claiming that the popular singer is already a member and endorsing the operation.
Seguerra learned about this on social media and fired back hard. On June 8th, he posted a blunt message on Instagram directed at the scammers.
"DO NOT USE ME TO GET PEOPLE TO JOIN YOUR GROUP BECAUSE I AM NOT ENDORSING YOUR GROUP," he wrote. "DO NOT USE FALSE ADVERTISING TO ENTICE PEOPLE TO JOIN YOU. I AM WARNING YOU, DO NOT USE MY NAME."
The singer's anger is justified. EmGoldex operators have been telling potential investors that Seguerra is a proud client of the scheme. These false endorsements carry real weight in a market where celebrity backing matters to consumers deciding where to invest their money.
Whether Seguerra will pursue legal action against those misusing his identity remains unclear. What is clear is that he views the situation as serious enough to make a public stand.
His frustration makes sense when you look at what EmGoldex actually is. The scheme costs €540 to join and operates as a classic Ponzi structure, meaning early investors get paid with money from new recruits rather than legitimate business returns.
Philippine authorities have taken the threat seriously. Anyone caught promoting EmGoldex in the country faces a fine of $110,000 and up to 21 years in prison. The penalties are severe because these scams devastate ordinary Filipinos who lose their savings chasing false promises of quick returns.
When ABS-CBN News tried to get EmGoldex's side of the story, they called the company's alleged administrative office in the Seychelles. No one answered. No one was willing to talk. The silence speaks volumes about an operation with nothing legitimate to defend.
