A Filipino Overseas Worker in Saudi Arabia warned his fellow Filipinos of a new modus operandi by Saudi nationals where money is dropped to the ground in the view of their victims.

Suante Agguirre shared the incident in his Facebook page.


The OFW said that he just got out of his car after he parked it and saw a stash of money on the ground.

Aguirre said he did not pick up the money and he continued to walk but he looked back to where the money was until he wasapproached by two men, one black and one Yemeni who asked him if he saw a stash of money and he pointed at the location.

Asked why he did not get the money, Agguirre said that he replied that it was not his. Thereafter one of the men asked for his wallet and after he refused, they threatened to call the police.



Aguirre then agreed and even offered to call the police himself.

Afterwards, the men just left and took the money from where it was  in.

The OFW said that he is sharing the story, just in case the same incident occurs to Filipinos abroad.
