Misis ng lalaking pa-discharge na sana sa hospital, na-scam ng P100,000 ng tauhan ng hospital kuno

- A wife was scammed while trying to look for a way to pay off their hospital bill from his husband's hospitalization

- Her husband was confined in the hospital last month due to a heart attack and was already about to be discharged when the crime happened

- According to the wife, since they still have a huge amount to pay on the professional fee for 9 doctors, they tried negotiating so they could pay it all off

- Suddenly, she received a phone call from someone who offered a discount on the said professional fee for 2 doctors

In an interview with GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' the caller introduced herself as a "manager officer" of one of her husband's doctors.

She also said the caller knew the doctor very well and the expertise of the doctor, that's why she was persuaded.

It also became believable because the bank account number to which they sent the money was named after one of her husband's doctors.

However, when a nurse decided to call the doctor, that's when they realized that it was indeed a scam.

They already reported the incident to the PNP - Anti-Cybercrime Division.

They're now worried about where to get funds to pay off their hospital bill because their remaining balance still stands at almost half a million pesos.

They fear that the bill will only go higher as long as her husband is still in the hospital. According to the report, the hospital is currently not accepting guarantee letters.

The family also doesn't have something to give as collateral to be granted with a promissory note.

However, GMA Integrated News was able to talk to an employee of the hospital and they were told they're accepting guarantee letters, but they have no say when it comes to scam issues.

Watch the report in the video below:
