Anyone with family members working abroad can relate to the fact that every penny sent by them is hard earned. Imagine working far away just to provide for their loved ones and what they need to sacrifice to do this.
But what would you do if somebody tries to steal even just a fraction of that hard earned money?
On July 4, a concerned netizen from Dasmarinas, Cavite shared her experience with a Cebuana Lhuillier teller, and how she was tricked about the amount of cash she was supposed to collect. According to Maria Colocado, the alleged teller issued her a receipt with a hand-written amount of Php 7,000. But when Colocado inquired from Cebuana Lhuillier’s customer service, she discovered that she was supposed to get Php 7,645 — and learned that they are not allowed to issue hand-written receipts. She went back to the branch and complained.
Fortunately for Colocado, she was able to get back the deficit.
