Patulong po sana ako at need ko po advice niyo mga attorneys
Kami po ay subscriber ng internet connection ng globe. Isang araw may taong ng-offer samin at sabi nya, sya ay isang authorize sales agent ng globe yung ngpaprocess ng mga application ng internet connection. Tumawag siya samin at inexplain kung ano ang mga proseso at mga produkto nila. Ilang araw din kaming ngtetext nitong agent nato, at tumatawag pa kung nakapagdecide na ba kami na mag-apply ng change of plan ng internet connection sa globe. Isang araw ng magpasya kami na sa kanya mag-apply ng internet connection, pumunta sya sa aming bahay, dahil galing pa sya trabaho niya at medyo malayo layo rin ang kanilang office. Pagdating niya sa bahay, inexplain niya ulit ang produkto at inilabas ang mga application forms. nakadamit naman sya ng pangglobe at may id naman. Inabot namin bayad sa kanya at ng-isyu siya ng provisionary receipt at kinuha mga docs(personal info) for application ng internet. Ilang araw nakalipas, halos di na kami nirereplyan at sabi niya maghintay lang raw ng 3 araw. 2 araw na lumipas wala parin. Pagpunta namin sa globe office nila, napag-alaman namin na di sya konektado doon. So parang, na scam kami nitong taong to.
Pwede ba kami makapagfile ng estafa na
case laban sa kanya na di namin alam kung saan sya exactly nakatira sa kanilang lungsod?
Salamat po sa inyung tulong
Sana may sumagot sa tanong ko. Salamat po.
Yes you can but the problem is the concerned Prosecutor's Office cannot serve the subpoena to him since you don't have his address. And if the subpoena is not served the
case will not run its course since the Office did not acquire jurisdiction over his person. The
case will only be archived and all your efforts, time, and money will be put to waste.
Best thing to do is do a little research first on this guy. Try searching him on Facebook or other social medias. Or call BIR and ask for the TIN and address of the person. Usually BIR has records of taxpayers' respective address. Start there.
Btw, have you reported the incident to your barangay or to the nearest police station? If not, report it immediately and secure a copy of the report. This report is called a barangay or police blotter. You can use it as evidence in your
case.
Also, collate all documents such as the provisional receipt issued, your sms exchanges, the application form (if you have a copy), and other relevant documents that will bolster your
case. If I may ask, does the provisional receipt contain any information about the company which issued it? Was it an official provisional receipt, one which is registered with the BIR or just a bogus provisional receipt? You can also start your research on the person by scrutinizing the PR he issued. Company name, TIN of the Company, Telephone number, address. These info should be on the receipt.
If you can find a company name on the receipt, you can go to SEC iView to get other details on the company like its latest General Information Sheet, where you can find information on the Board of Directors of the company, their TINS and their respective address. The GIS also contains the list of stockholders of the company. Call SEC to inquire about SEC iView or visit their website.
Hope this helps and be safe! Be cautious next time! Call and verify first with the company the person says he is affiliated with before parting with your trust and money. But hey, try looking at the bright side of this unfortunate event. At least, what the guy took is only money and not life! May God be with you!
