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.

Armida Corbito Serrano - Non payment of debt

The problem with some Filipinos especially overseas - they are easily scammed by the people that they can trust. Even teachers, priests, nuns, are not trustworthy anymore. Worse, they split, like the case of the swindler below - Armida Corbito Serrano.

Don;t let the warm smile fool you, she is a professional and she has victimized a lot of people. Mostly from abroad. She is in Dubai right now, but upon this writing, she might be anywhere, or back home in the Philippines at Damong Maliit in Novaliches, Q.C. (She was a teacher too in Ina ng Buhay catholic School, the nerve!)

Take a good look at her Facebook photo. She immediately unfriended those people who borrowed her money.

Be very careful now when someone borrows your hard earned money. Life is hard right now and don't let anyone get it from you very easily. Take care.

Swindlers at Ever Gotesco Commonwealth

Be very careful on your belongings, as this poor victim who posted this at sulit.com.ph was traumatized with the incident. I will translate for you what happened (if you want it in Filipino, click here)

"We were eating at a fast food restaurant in Ever Gotesco called 'Hapagkainan', while we were eating, we noticed some guys who were buying at the store in a loud manner. We checked it out, then we went back eating.Then my mother noticed that her bag was gone. Just seconds only! I went outside immediately and called my mobile phone which was inside my moms bag, but it was already turned off. My mother was really traumatized with incident. There was her notebook with some client names and phone numbers, P 3,000 cash, her mobile phone and mine. The security knew all about it (they are called the Salisi Gang), but they are not doing anything."

So everyone, be careful where you eat especially on open areas, these people are lazy sons of bitches, so be very careful with your belongings.
