A new modus operandi went viral on the internet when a certain Paolo Ortega posted a Facebook status alerting everyone about a new robbery strategy. According to him, he got the information from the Philippine National Police–Region 1.
His post goes:
“Warning: Please take note. 3 or 4 guys may visit your home claiming they are from a water company to install shower caps to save water. Or they will claim they are from the Electricity company to change energy-saving electric bulbs for free as part of government lay down program. They have been spotted in so many areas. Please. DO NOT let them in. They are ROBBERS, robbing people at gun-point. Please alert all your contacts, as you may save lives. Make sure doors are locked at all times and PLEASE do not open doors to strangers. Please forward immediately to save lives & property!”
The modus is yet to be confirmed in other provinces. However, it is still advisable for everyone to stay alert and be aware of who tey’re letting into their home.
