The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) yesterday issued a notice to the public cautioning them from accepting investment offers from Yellowdot Transport Terminal Inc., citing the company's lack of license to do so from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Yellowdot is a
transportation company specializing in modern PUV operations in parts of
Metro Manila and Northern and Central Luzon, including the SM
Fairview-SM Masinag and Cogeo-SM Aura routes.
In its notice, the LTFRB stated that Yellowdot representatives confirmed in a board meeting that their company accepted investment from the public on the purchase of the "Millenial Jeepney", a type of modern PUV.
Upon review of their investment offering, it was revealed that Yellowdot promised "unusually high" return of investments from the income of operating said units.
However, the SEC disclosed that Yellowdot's Articles of Incorporation explicitly prohibits the company from soliciting investments from the public.
The LTFRB has thus ordered Yellowdot to cease and desist from accepting any more investments from the public "until they comply with existing laws and regulations."
Yellowdot has not released a statement regarding the issue yet, but assures its commitment to "provide what they have promised" to stakeholders and help commuters.
