MANILA, Philippines — The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has arrested an individual posing as a former employee of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), who victimized a 72-year-old grandmother of P700,000 after promising to help register her land property in Rizal province.
In an interview on Friday, NBI Spokesperson Palmer Mallari said the subject told the victim he had a network of friends who could help arrange the registration of her land property.
But the investigation revealed that the subject was not in any way connected with the DENR or any other relevant agency, such as the Land Registration Authority.
