Just another scam we get used to but a heads up Locally

People in the west have money, hard to find a plain stupid in Philippines with money, plenty in the west. The big problem to me about scammers, when they use old people, many in their 80-90 + years, who have lost some or part of their senses. Very popular scam in Europe just now, are when older people go shopping, they pay with credit card, criminals stay behind and check pinkode. After the older person finish shopping, a group of persons take contact to them, ask about direction to hospital or similar and steal credit card. Many times, victims first find out much later, that they are missing their credit card. The criminals come often from east european countries, like romania or bulgaria, traval around different countries, open borders inside Europe

 

Scammer's failed attempt

 

This is a variation on one of the oldest scams around---it was even featured in one of the early scenes in the movie "The Sting". Truly and "oldie, but a goodie"!
