NOCPPO warns public vs ‘cellphone load scam’

BACOLOD City – The Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (NOCPPO) warned the public against unscrupulous people introducing themselves as the province’s police director and demanding cellphone load.

NOCPPO director Colonel Romeo Baleros issued the statement following an incident on Tuesday. Two persons were duped into giving P5,000 worth of cellular phone card load.

One of the victims was a contractor and the other one was a government employee.

“Do not be fooled. It is a strategy of swindlers to get cellphone load using the names of people in authority,” said Baleros.

The NOCPPO director also appealed to the public to immediately report any fraud or scam carried out through phone calls, texts or internet using his name./PN
