SCAMMING PROCEDURE
Last Friday, me and friend went to see a movie at SM North. After the movie we decided to go around since it was still early to go home. While we were busily looking at a window of a computer retail shop, out of nowhere a Danvil agent (trained to deceive, make-up fully loaded either girl or gay lookin like hookers, on a business attire but talk like a TINDERAs and KARGADORs) suddenly approach us:
AGENT1: ma'am may credit card po kayo? Kahit supplementary lang?
ME: No! I don’t have! Thank you!
My friend being clueless of this schemes and before I could signal her to say NO! said:
MY FRIEND: I have a credit card
So the Davil agent lead us to their booth
AGENT1: ma'am 45 minute lang po ito, wala po kayung babayaran ni singkong duling, ang gagawin nyu lang ay mag join sa raffle at malay nyu kayu nag manalo gaya ng mga nasa add namin. And dahilan po bat namin to ginagawa ay para mapakilala naming ang aming KUMPANYA sa pamamagitan ng word of mouth. Kaya po hindi kami kumuha ng artista para ipromote kami kasi mas mabuti na kayo mismo ang magpapatunay sa aming programa. At sa pagsali po ninyo ay bibigyan po kau naming ng gift! ( and she brings out a TUMBLER!) Basta ma'am pag nanalo kau burahin nyu na make-up ko wag nyo lang kalimutan ang BALATO!
ME: Ahhhhh…
MY FRIEND: Ok
AGENT1: Taga san po kau ma'am?
ME: Caloocan ( rolling my eyes)
AGENT1: Talaga ma'am? ako din ma'am! Nagbebenta po ako ng newspaper dun sa malapit sa church! Suma sideline lang po ako dito!
On my mind: AS IF I CARE WHERE YOU FROM!
We then proceeded to their office. While on goin there I was silently scolding my friend on what he had just put us into.
At the office:
AGENT1: ma'am, wait lang po kau titignan ko lang po kung sinu magprepresent sa inyo.
AGENT1: ma'am si SAM po magpreresent sa inyo fill up nyo lang po ito (to my friend). ma'am bale one and one po yung presentation pero pwede naman po na sabay kau o kau sumunod na lang po si ma'am pag may bakante na upuan.
So my friend went in to the presentation area and left her bag with me at the reception area. After a couple minutes she cameback and ask for her credit card and atm, I ask him why she needed it and told me that the presentor inside was looking for it. I was shocked that a free raffle entry would ask for this things, I was unwilling to give her bag but she got it anyway. A couple of minutes past again and I was getting woried bout what was goin on inside, so I asked an employee if I could join my friend inside since a number of people have already went out from the presentation room, she said she’s gonna check and comeback, which she didn’t. Again I asked another employee for the same reason and again she didn’t came out but instead a guy came out:
AGENT: "ma'am dip o pwede na pumasok kayo kasi maiisturbo yung presentation"
ME: Huh! Bakit? Why don’t you just call her then?
AGENT: Di po pwede kasi may pinirmahan sya na 45 minutes na presentation!
ME: Huh! KELAN? No! just call her! NOW!
The guy Agent went inside and again he didn’t came out. I tried to go in but the door was locked. I was so irritated that I wanted to scandalized the place but I got a hold of myself. I tried calling my friends phone for several times but she wasn’t answering, another employee approach me told me that I was creating statics on the speakers inside. But I didn’t care I still dialed and tried to call my friend inside. And finally she answered. As we were talking on the phone I went outside, stand at the see through glass wall looking right at the presentation room. I saw her at the end of the room her back turned against where my direction was and her presentor looking at me and smiling. The presentor didn’t even bother to inform my friend that I was at the glass panel. I instructed her not to give any credit details and not to let them get a hold of her card and she said ok and that she cant talk much and so she hang up. After a couple minute more she then came out of the presentation room. I asked her what they wanted him to do. She told me that they wanted her to use her credit card for a promo plan originally 70thousand pesos now only 9thousand pesos. And that the presentor was even ready to call the bank to confirm the transaction but she declined! They were so pushy about it that she said no many times but they continually offered her and asked her to buy a plan. They were selling 3 different plans. She said that her accounts was a joint account of her and her husband and that he cannot use it without her husband consent especially for big transactions. The presentor trying to con her stated that it is was also her money and there was no need to consult her husband. That where she said that what they are trying to do is wrong and that it is pure trickery. She then led herself out of the SCAMMERS office.
