Filipina arrested for fake orphan NGO scam.
Filipina accused of scam
6 March 2017
A woman from the Philippines has been arrested after allegedly scamming money from villagers in Battambang province for a non-existent NGO for orphans. Tubon Erlinda, 57, was detained in Sangke district on Friday.
District police officer Uth Sothy said several dozen locals told police they were suspicious about a female foreigner who had been raising money from them.
“We went and arrested her while she was raising money at villagers’ homes,” Mr. Sothy said.
He added that while she was being arrested she claimed to be raising funds for orphaned children at an NGO based in Phnom Penh.
“When police asked to identify the NGO she had nothing to show us,” Mr. Sothy said. “So we decided to arrest her and send her to the provincial police station for more questioning.”
He said her passport expired two months ago.
