Recently in the city of Parañaque, local law enforcers arrested a 44-year-old man over the use of fake identification as well as using a credit card to purchase almost P390,000 worth of gift certificates, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…
A 44-year-old man was arrested for using a fake identification card and a credit card to purchase gift certificates amounting to P387,000 from a supermarket in Parañaque City.
The suspect was identified as Fidel. He was arrested at around 7:40 p.m. at Puregold located along NAIA Avenue, Barangay Sto. Nino, Parañaque City.
The police said the suspect used a falsified ID and credit card under the name of Rodolfo Carreon Anastacio to purchase gift certificates amounting to P387,000 from Puregold Moonwalk in Parañaque and in FTI, Taguig City.
The police said the real person, Rodolfo, reported that his identity was being used by an unscrupulous person for fraud and that he does not own any credit card.
The suspect was immediately arrested and was detained at the Parañaque City Police custodial facility.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, do you consider identity theft a very serious crime? Do you know anyone in your local community who became a victim of identity theft or the illegal use of a credit card over the past six months? Do you think crime in the city is getting worse?
