“Hindi siya pumapayag na kami ang mag-book so ang nangyari po is siya po yung nag-book [ng rider]. Nanghingi siya ng details ko, contact number, contact person… address,” said the victim.

After giving the details, the suspect rider arrived, and told him that the buyer will make payment as soon as he leaves.

“Sabi po sa ‘kin ni rider na babayaran niya po yung item once na nakaalis na po siya. Pero ang nangyari, nung nakaalis na po siya, yung rider, bigla na pong parang di na po masyado nagcha-chat sa akin si suspek pero nag-usap po kami ni rider,” the victim narrated.

“Nag-text na po (ako) kay rider na wag na po sanang ibigay. Ibalik na lang sa akin. Pero sabi nung rider naman kuno is manghihingi sana sa akin ng pang-gas,” he said.

Worse, the victim actually gave P400 and after that, the suspect no longer reached out.
