01:04 It's been used for many people. Last week, when I got a deposit of 7,000 pesos from our house, it pretended to be me.
01:17 I told our house not to block it, there's a possibility that we may catch the person who is copying my profile.
01:29 The scammer is not content and still uses Francis Valencia's identity. The suspect tried to convince the housekeeper to send Valencia's smartphone and her wife's,
01:39 even the alahas and the money of the family. Here, Valencia asked for help from the police to entrap the suspect.
01:45 The police discarded the suspect's ride that he will get what he wants. A few minutes later, a delivery rider arrived at the victim's house in Quinta Rizal.
01:54 The police immediately approached the victim. The delivery rider was arrested by the suspects.
02:06 We were convinced that the delivery rider can help us to find out who opened the door.
02:15 After that, we coordinated with the concerned police station in Bayan Tanay in Rizal.
02:23 The location of the suspect was located in Tanay, Rizal. The police waited for him here. The suspect approached the delivery rider to get the package and was immediately arrested.
02:43 The police asked the suspect to complete the identification of the suspect because they have a follow-up operation on possible suspects. The suspect denied to the police that he is the one who created the online blood modus in the victim.
02:54 The suspect is facing cases of swindling, scam and online fraud. The police said that there are many people who receive complaints and complaints in these cases.
03:03 That's why it's important to be smart in using social media.
03:06 We are asking our fellow countrymen to be more vigilant and avoid these kinds of incidents.
03:14 We should be sure that social media is not only a means of communication but also a means of financial transactions.
03:25 We should check the legitimacy of the people who are messaging us if they are real and legitimate people.
03:35 We should be more vigilant in using online platforms especially now that the scammers and the people who are using the internet are getting involved.
03:45 This is the first news in Rizal's area. Bye bye for GMA Integrated News.
