00:00She was released from the hospital after a month of confinement but she was still a victim of fraud.
00:06That's what a wife in Manila who was scammed of P100,000 said,
00:11a doctor's acquaintance who was locked down for a discount.
00:15Let's hear from Jomara Presto.
00:20This 37-year-old woman was crying in front of the media.
00:24She was scammed of P100,000 by an acquaintance of a hospital in Manila.
00:30In the victim's story, her husband was discharged yesterday
00:35and was confined in the hospital last month after a heart attack.
00:39But because they still have a lot to pay for the professional fee of the two doctors,
00:44they tried to talk to her.
00:46Until she received a call and was told that she will be given a discount on the professional fee
00:51for the two doctors.
00:53Their transaction was online.
00:55She introduced me to Mariela M. Delacruz.
01:00She's a manager and an officer.
01:02She's a doctor, my husband's.
01:05They know each other, the doctor, what kind of doctor he is.
01:10That's why we believed that we will get a discount.
01:13They sent it to us.
01:14The victims believed it quickly because one of the doctors had their account number
01:19and they transferred the money.
01:21But when one of the hospital's nurses called the doctor,
01:25they found out that the victim was talking to a scammer.
01:29They went to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Division to trace the scammer.
01:34The victim's problem now is how to get the money to get her husband discharged.
01:39Their balance is still more than half a million pesos
01:44and it will be added while they are staying in the hospital.
01:48The hospital is not receiving a guarantee letter right now
01:52and they don't have collateral to make a promissory note.
01:56The stress that they are bringing to us,
01:59that we are still staying in the hospital,
02:01it's making it harder for us.
02:03Maybe she will have a heart attack again.
02:06According to an employee of the hospital who talked to GMI Integrated News,
02:11they are receiving a guarantee letter.
02:13But when it comes to the scam, they went out there, according to the employee.
02:17We are still trying to get a guarantee letter from the hospital.
