New Scam Modus Warning- paint in bag

[SoleusBB]

May bagong gimmick na naman ang mga ungas...

Somebody will place a small plastic bag full of paint or ink that is barely noticeable on the road, and when you run over it, the contents will splash/burst all over the side of your car, tires etc.

Their accomplices will be following on a motorcycle, waiting for you stop and get out when you notice the vandalism, or pag nainip, will try to flag you down pointing out the stains.

Cheaper than the old bump your car and rob you when you inspect the damage routine, and more effective than leaving spikes/nails on the road which doesn't work fast enough on tubeless tires..

Baka nga lumang style na ito eh, pero active na naman sila

many years ago, it was a group of guys, all pointing to your tire and shouting, "yung gulong... sumasayad sa daan!"
heh heh.

Close to home. Sa may Ortigas

Wala rin ako sa Pinas ngayon, but na advise ko na rin lahat ng lady drivers sa bahay.
Better to be informed/alert lang naman, but not unduly alarmed.

Nakakainis mga gumagawa nito.

Imbes na magtrabaho ng maayos and gumastos lang ng tama sa kinikita nila, gagamitin ang talino sa kag*guhan.

Hay naku. Maynila nga naman. If ever those things happen, you should always have the presence of mind to always be suspicious. Don’t stop, don’t talk to strangers, keep all doors locked all the time. If you need to stop, sa may police station or gas station.

Yes, you are right. But in reality, there are times when you are not on guard & alert- it's not possible without becoming paranoid and neurotic

I just raised the red flag today para on guard tayo. Hindi ako nag so-social media & am one of those "weird" people who really don't have an FB account.

One bad thing about this is, either way, na vandalize/stain pa rin kotse mo, even if you manage to avoid getting robbed or your car stolen

OT.

I am naturally wary of speaking to strangers, especially those who are overly friendly without any reason to be.
Once, in the SLEX, I stopped over in TOTAL in the evening, tired & sleepy. As I got off, this guy approached me saying my Terrano model can be determined by a label at the seatbelts. I just said “good” & left to go to the washroom. Only then did I realize that if I had been amiable & opened my car to check it with this friendly guy, It is possible that that was a scam.

it's a terrano... hijacking an ancient beetle or any toyota would have been more profitable..

Happened a long time ago. I dunno what the motives are. I just found it unusual.

perhaps the guy was just...
you know... some folks just want to share what they know...

perhaps i would have walked and kept my mouth shut.
"my mother told me never to strike up a conversation with a friendly stranger." but if you have to, "be the un-friendly stranger".
better to talk to an un-friendly stranger, daw. at least yon, kampante kang walang tangkain sa iyo.

I’ve got “street smarts” Doc. Once in a rural town in Mindanao, my son & I went to the palenke/flea market. We passed by a couple of “locals” who were looking at us. When we passed them, I glanced back & saw him nod at some other locals on the other side of the street & looked back at us. We hurriedly turned back at that moment & went back to our fortified house. Di bale nang ma brand na paranoid, but that is Mindanao.
