Several netizens claimed that Neri Naig directly offered them to invest in a now-defunct company.

It can be recalled that Neri was currently detained after she received complaints from the investors of the beauty company Dermacare for violating RA 8799 or the Securities Regulation Code.

A netizen shared on his Threads that Neri sent him a message asking him to invest P850,000 in exchange for P7,000 monthly interest for 10 years.

The netizen admitted that he was almost convinced to invest because of the fast return of investment.

“I didn’t have 850k to invest at that time pero I was seriously considering yung 250k investiment. They promised 7k monthly returns for 10 years, roi in 3 yrs and more than 3x your capital after 10 yrs,” the netizen said.

“Medyo too good to be true talaga. naforesee ko din ba na mababankrupt sila?” she added.

In the said email, Neri said that if Dermacare ever files for bankruptcy, their legal team was tasked to ease the worry of the investors.

Meanwhile, an official from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) already questioned the business model of Dermacare.

“Siyempre kung may produkto ba? Yung produkto ba na yun ay may presyo ba…meron bang necessity para bumili ka nun? Rasonable ba yung value niya? Kasi baka kapirasong sabon, Kojic soap, mga isang libo o PHP1,500 yung isa, reasonable ba yan?” SEC enforcement director Filbert Flores said.
