00:00A wife in Manila has been hospitalized for being a victim of a scam.
00:05A scammer was fined Php 100,000 for introducing a person to the hospital.
00:11Now for the news, Jomar Apresto.
00:17This 37-year-old woman is crying in front of the media.
00:22She was fined Php 100,000 for introducing a person to a hospital in Manila.
00:28In the story of the victim, her husband was already discharged yesterday.
00:32He was confined to the hospital last month after he suffered a heart attack.
00:37But because they still have a lot to pay for the professional fee of the scammer doctor,
00:42they tried to talk to him.
00:44Until he received a call and said that he will give a discount on the professional fee for the two doctors.
00:51Their transaction was online.
00:53He introduced me to Mariela M. Delacruz.
00:58She's a manager and officer.
01:00She's a doctor.
01:02My husband knows the doctor very well.
01:08That's why we believed that we can get a discount.
01:11She sent it to us.
01:12The victims believed it quickly because one of the doctors has their account number
01:17and they transferred the money.
01:19But when one of the nurses of the hospital called the doctor,
01:22they found out that the victim was talking to a scammer.
01:26They went to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Division to trace the scammer.
01:31The victim's problem now is how to get funds to get his wife out of the hospital.
01:37Their balance is Php 500,000.
01:41It will be added while they are staying in the hospital.
01:46They are not receiving a guarantee letter from the hospital
01:50and they don't have collateral to make a promissory note.
01:54The stress that they are bringing to us, that we are still staying in the hospital,
01:59is making it harder for us.
02:01He might have a heart attack again.
02:04According to an employee of the hospital who talked to GMI Integrated News,
02:09they are receiving a guarantee letter.
02:11But when it comes to the scam, they went out according to the employee.
02:15We are still trying to get a guarantee letter from the hospital.
02:19This is the first news.
