Another victim of alleged modus of some people who pretends to be an officer from Land Transportation Office narrated how the suspect tried to extort money from them.
On her Facebook post, Netizen Feliz Marie warned her friends on Facebook to beware of some people who pretending to be a traffic officer from LTO and asking for money.
She wrote that the suspect is already following them along Makati – Magallanes and they are not paying attention to the guy because he’s not wearing proper uniform and wearing jacket.
“We were along Makati – Magallanes when this “LTO guy” motioned us to stop. When we opened the window he was already shouting at us. Galit na galit, kanina pa daw nya kami pinapahinto pero “tinatakbuhan” namin sya. Yes, nakita namin sya before BUT we did not realize na pinapara nya kami. We were not paying attention to him since he does not look like an officer at hindi kita ang uniporme. He was wearing a jacket! Hindi talaga namin napansin”. Ms. Feliz wrote
After they noticed the angry suspect, the group of Ms. Galpao stopped and asked the suspect if there’s a problem.
“He told us: “Nakita ng supervisor ko na sira ilaw nyo sa likod, pinahabol kayo sakin, kanina pa ko sumisenyas tas tinakbuhan nyo ko!”. Galit na siya at matapang.”
But when they asked for mission order and ID, the suspect who cannot show anything that would prove that he’s from LTO started to rant to his victims and even challenged them to call the President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte.
“Tawagan nyo pa presidente!” and “Taga LTO ako, alam ko mga ganito” etc. Pinipilit nya kami na tinakbuhan namin sya. Nag-sorry kami sa kanya dahil hindi namin talaga sya napansin”.
She also recorded a video of the suspect who insisted that his victims trying to flee from him.
The victims decided to surrender their driver’s license to the suspect to avoid more trouble, but they are thinking why the LTO guy didn’t gave any ticket to them.
Fortunately, a real officer in uniform came to the rescue and asked the suspect about the problem and he clarified that the suspect is not their member and only trying to extort money from other people.
They also got their license back from the suspect after a Skyway Patrol Officer intervened before he flee.
The victims also clarified that they didn’t give any money to the suspect.
Ms. Galpao said that the suspect can defend himself, but they are questioning why the LTO guy chosen to flee than to explain his side.
The post of Ms. Galpao already reached thousands of shares and reactions on Facebook.
