May mga convo kami sa cell na sinabi nila may lalabas na akong special plate.
Pero before that nagtext si ahente na lumabas na plaka ko and nagulat ako kasi ordinary plate. Nun sinabi ko na nka special plate request ako ang sagot lang "ill get back to you on that".. tapos yun na. Kesyo naaprubahan na daw un special plate ko. Na antay lang daw delivery.. tapos bigla sabihin di na daw mailalabas un special plate and refund na lang daw un binayad ko. sa maikli salita pinaasa ako.. may habol bako sa mga to? Salamat mga dude sa mkakapag advice.

i agree with bro altis6453. it may not fall strictly under article 315 of the revised penal code on estafa, but, indubitably, article 318 on "other deceits" will apply. according to the sc, article 318 is a catch-all provision that practically covers all forms of deceit or misrepresentation foisted by estafadors to the damage and prejudice of unsuspecting members of society.

Article 318. Other deceits. - The penalty of arresto mayor and a fine of not less than the amount of the damage caused and not more than twice such amount shall be imposed upon any person who shall defraud or damage another by any other deceit not mentioned in the preceding articles of this chapter.
Any person who, for profit or gain, shall interpret dreams, make forecasts, tell fortunes, or take advantage of the credulity of the public in any other similar manner, shall suffer the penalty of arresto mayor or a fine not exceeding 200 pesos.
