Lee 17,711 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yet another expat duped. The only part that confuses me is how it took him that long to realize he was being cheated, there surely has to be A lot more to the story. Caregiver dupes disabled American of PhP915K A disabled American has accused his Filipina caregiver of allegedly duping him of PhP915,000 and filed estafa charges against her, media reports said. Since being hired, Leah Caparida, 33, borrowed money from him for 21 times. He said he gave her cash in 20 out of the 21 instances she asked for a loan, Marvin Hensel, 57, was quoted as saying by Inquirer. In an affidavit submitted to the Manila Police District general assignment section, Hensel reportedly said he was filing 20 counts of estafa against her. He was quoted as saying that Caparida started borrowing money in May 2015. She often claimed that she needed the cash for hospitalization, the report said. Since then, almost every week, Hensel would lend Caparida money, sometimes in dollars, sometimes in peso. On Monday afternoon, Caparida attempted to borrow PhP27,000 to pay her bills in a Bulacan hospital. “I refused (to give her the money) after I confirmed with the hospital…that there is no such patient in her name ,” Hensel was quoted as saying by Inquirer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Steve and Myrlita 341 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 The gentleman will have on top of all the stupidity of the system here, 2 major speed bumps. 1.) The poorly written libel law saying accusing her of estafa could get him sued even if it's true. 2.) The system will NEVER allow a Filipino(a) to ever lose face to a foreigner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dragonladies.org 1,628 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Just exactly how could she be much of a caretaker if she was so sickly? What you want to bet he is contacted by a 'relative' of the lady who claims she was so ashamed over the bogus charges, she killed herself? He should drop the charges, and also send 50000 php so they can bury her. FWIW, I've made over 270 small loans via Kiva.org to ladies in SE Asia. SOME ladies do know what an actual loan is Only a few have defaulted, or been late, and the default/late percentage at Kiva for SE Asian females, is much lower than other groups. I was stunned, also.
