Alleged PLDT employee offers Internet connection in one day, runs away with down payment from customers

Scammers seem to be coming up with new ways to defraud people of their hard-earned cash.

Another case of swindling, this time using PLDT to lure victims, is being shared online for netizens to be aware. Online user A. Zenitram posted on Facebook her experience with a certain Raymond S. Mendoza who introduced himself as an employee at PLDT Rotonda Pasig. The scheme is to offer his victim quick internet installation. The unmindful victim will be asked to pay a downpayment worth of Php2,300 or higher, and the internet, supposedly, will be installed the next day.

“Manloloko po itong tao na to pa galagala sa pasig lyfhomes o kung saan man. Nag aalok ng installation ng internet. Nagwowork daw sya sa PLDT ROTONDA PASIG ang name daw nya “RAYMOND S. MENDOZA” hihingan ka ng down worth of 2,300pesos or mas higit pa. After iinstall daw kinabukasan yung internet pero modus lang po nila ito. Hindi na po sila babalik. Tandaan nyo po ang muka ng taong yan. Manloloko po yan. Maging aware po kayo.”

Zenitram was able to take a photo of the scammer. Take a look and beware. You might encounter him somewhere.

The Dailypedia is open for any clarifications from PLDT.
