Warning against Philippine Anti-Drug Support Group!

Tweet

I got a call this afternoon from a certain Dr. Bautista saying that the Director of the Phil. Anti-Drug Support Group would like to speak with me. The phone was then turned over to someone who introduced himself as Police superintendent Romeo Bello. Phone number that registered in the caller ID was 4371580. Frankly, I do not like talking to strangers especially if they sound like they are going to sell me something. Not wanting to be rude, I listened on. Then he started rambling about sending me a letter with a calling card that is supposed to protect me from being issued a traffic violation ticket. In exchange he wants me to pay for sponsorship tickets which cost P3,000 each to fund scholarships to children of policemen who were killed while on duty. Likewise, proceeds of ticket sales will be used to help flood victims in Macabebe, Pampanga. That does it, now my scam alarm is set off. I now began questioning him as to why they make solicitations over the phone and even suggested that they seek aid from politicians. I thank God that He guided me as to how I can get out of this conversation. After putting down the phone, I searched for the name and the organization and found out that the PDEA has already issued warnings against this group and encourages the public to coordinate with them for proper identification of their personnel through PDEA hotlines -- 920-0735 and 920-0736.
