This time, it is hard to trust anyone even a best friend I was so happy yesterday to see someone at home after years of not seeing her.We hugged each other. She was my best friend during college days.That evening, she begged me and my family to let her sleep at home for she was so afraid of her husband.She told us about some abuses done by her husband to her and their two young children.She sobbed in front of us without thinking that it was her trick to persuade our emotion for a certain plan that evening.
I asked her where she works and what her husband is doing too, she just said that she is hired private secretary of a certain firm, and her husband a police.And that day she left her children to her parents.She continued saying that she saw my face and name in the Facebook page of her friend and that she got my address and proceeded home.
Sadly, we were convinced, and treated her fairly as a human being.She slept on my bed.We talked of many things about our achievements.Because I was so tired that day lecturing to 5 sections, I fell asleep so suddenly. I was indeed in deep sleep. I was not able to see what she was doing while I was sleeping.
In the morning , she was no longer in my bedroom. I thought she was in the bath room .Then, I noticed that my bag containing money and ATM cards was not there on the table near my bed. Early morning but my heart beats so fast of fear. I ran outside to ask my sister . We were all shock to know, that my friend robbed us while we were sleeping.I was so thankful our lap tops were not taken for the room was locked.
I went to the bank to inform then the incident so my ATM will be blocked. I was too late, my money was withdrawn. My ATM pin is written there in its case. My saving P145,000 Philippine money was gone.The other ATM 's pin was not written there. I have 3 ATM cards the third is pay pal connect.
I blottered it this day.
I traced her whereabouts, only to know that she had suffered financially because of her vise, as drug user. I was so thankful despite that because we were not harm.
From now on,I will never trust anyone.
I am terribly sad and heart broken.

@celticeagle, It will be very impossible , according to the police. When they checked the local airport, it was learned that my robber friend already left first flight that very morning.The first flight local is 5:00 a.m..She was traced in Manila airport and was learned she had just left for Vietnam. The feeling sucks.

Oh no Erly, did you know this woman from before in your life? Or she just single you out.
I am so very very sorry to hear you were so cruelly robbed and conned for your emotion and familys emotions.
I hope you will be able to retrieve the money? Do they have any process in place for this kind of case?

@fishtiger58, It is indeed horrible, what if we were harm by her during our sleep. The police said that the time estimation of her escape was 3:30 am. and there was someone who fetched her according to 2 witnesses our neighbors who happened to wake up early and recognize the vehicle that picked a woman at my friends description.

Oh my gosh! I am very sorry to hear about this "best friend". Is there anyway to report her? Or do they have cameras at the ATM, banks? Because you did not pull the money out.

@amnabas, I am also until this time cannot believe. All of us at home are so shocked.It was my fault. I should have put my bag in safety,or the ATM's put in safety.It has been the advise before of our boss not to bring daily our ATM's for our bag might be ransacked, and our boss was right.
