Joan Miquibes-Incabo, 27, of Block 17, Phase 1, Peter Street, Barangay Kaligayahan, Fairview, was caught after Lorna De Guzman-Gomez alerted security guards on seeing Incabo using an ATM machine in a mall in Cubao, said Senior Police Office 4 Rey Gatbonton.

FEATURED STORIES

Incabo’s modus is to talk to someone withdrawing money from an ATM, telling the would-be victim she is having difficulties with her transaction, confuses the victim and manages to get his/her PIN, then replaces her victims real ATM card with a fake one.

After getting away with the stolen card, she empties the bank account right away.
