00:00Alejandro Ferrona, the owner of Paupahan in Caloocan City,
00:04quickly admitted his latest victim, Ruel Diaz,
00:08worth Php 100,000.
00:11He is the owner of a unit within 2 years
00:14and this is a money-back guarantee after the contract.
00:18You paid Php 100,000.
00:20But what happened after that?
00:22It's obvious to me because I know that if I get the money,
00:28I can move out anytime soon.
00:30But Alejandro has a special request from Ruel.
00:34I will move out the next day,
00:36that's why he suddenly told me,
00:38or he requested a week's rent.
00:41Then after that, he requested another Php 50,000
00:45for me to move out immediately.
00:47How much is this for him?
00:49He has a table.
00:51Since that time, when Ruel moved in,
00:54he started doubting Alejandro.
00:56I searched for his full name,
00:58I just scrolled,
01:00I saw all the rumors,
01:03beware of scammer,
01:05and all of his faces were posted.
01:07Disappointment, because that's not my money,
01:10that's from my father.
01:12So that Php 100,000 came from my father's SSS.
01:18So that's the only thing he got from his SSS
01:23because he worked for us for a long time.
01:26Then he just disappeared.
01:29Those are the products that they posted on social media.
01:32Ruel also met the other victims of Alejandro.
01:36When I found out that I'm not alone,
01:39I saw a lot of people posting to him.
01:42Then I made an account one by one.
01:44I was able to contact them.
01:46In this video from another victim,
01:49we can see that he is counting the money he paid to Alejandro.
01:52Together with the other victims of Alejandro,
01:55R-R-Recibo went to the so-called property
01:58that is being rented by the suspect.
02:01That's the second floor.
02:02That's what he told us.
02:04There's someone living here.
02:06And they are still here.
02:08When R-R-Recibo visited the barangay
02:11that belongs to the victim,
02:12we found out that the complaints against Alejandro were already piled up.
02:23Since 2021,
02:25there are already complaints against Sir Alejandro Verona
02:30about his one-bedroom apartment.
02:34Because of the evidence,
02:36Ruel approached the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group
02:39to ask for help.
02:41And the authorities found Alejandro's name.
02:44Our suspect was already arrested on the same offense,
02:48swindling staff under Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code.
02:52Maybe in 2021 or 2020,
02:54that house is already being sold to a lot of victims.
02:58Until 2025.
03:00He's been doing that for four years.
03:03Thank you so much for watching.
