Budol-budol gang

I do not know what the word 'budol' means, but maybe it is related to the word 'buhol' or tangled in literal English. This also means confusion, which is the main purpose of the gang in order to get money.

One of their main modus operandi is through telephone. They will call the maids or servants telling that their master is in critical condition in a hospital. And then the gang member will inform the maid to bring some money or their credit cards and meet them at a certain place. The servant falls for this trickery as the gang members speak in authority, but descent, and cunning.

With the advent of the internet, now everything is high tech. Everyone can send money online, which further escalates the crime. If you ask where is the money on the early days, its in the bank. Now, it is in cyberspace.

One recent incident happened is that some criminal groups try to rent a car that is similar to the actual one driven by the master. Plate numbers, stickers, everything is copied! The hapless servant opens the garage door and after parking, criminals come out and steal all the belongings inside the home. Worse, they use the same car to come out. How can you report that to the police?

Be careful, be veryyyy careful especially these days.
