00:00Tis the season of warm, dry and hot right now.
00:03And to all those thinking of out-of-town trips and plans for vacation, listen up.
00:07Vacation scams are on the climb and you all better be aware.
00:11This precautionary message as per Police Lieutenant Wallen May Arancilio,
00:15who reminds us all of this phenomenon when the Lenten season draws near
00:19and the trek outside the megacity for rest and recreation ramps up.
00:24Scammers put out detailed photos and specs of homes, condominiums,
00:27townhouses or apartments for rent online,
00:30and lure unknowing victims to close the deal by making down payments to e-wallet accounts.
00:36After a payment has been transacted, the fake owner or agent takes the money and vanishes.
00:42The PNP's anti-cybercrime group in its latest report cites at least 29 complaints
00:47received by their office over such scams thus far.
00:57Pagkita ng mga e-wallet or through bank transfer po,
01:01pag tapos makuha nila yung bayad, hindi na sila makontak at biggan na lang silang mawawala.
