GR NO. 198932. October 09, 2019.

In the case of Danilo S. Ibanez, Petitioner, v. People of the Philippines,
Respondent,
XXX The essence of this kind of estafa is the appropriation or

conversion of money or property received to the prejudice of the
entity to whom the return thereof should be made. The words
"convert" and "misappropriate" connote the act of using or disposing
of another's property as if it were one's own, or of devoting it to a
purpose or use different from that agreed upon. To misappropriate
for one's own use includes not only conversion to one's personal
advantage, but also every attempt to dispose of the property of
another without right. In proving the element of conversion or
misappropriation, a legal presumption of misappropriation arises
when the accused fails to deliver the proceeds of the sale or to return
the items to be sold and fails to give an account of their
whereabouts.…….XXX

In the case of Jesus O. Typoco, Jr., Accused, v. People of the Philippines,

Plaintiff,
XXX The law explicitly provides that in the prosecution of Estafa

under the said provision, it is indispensable that the element of
deceit, consisting in the false statement or fraudulent representation
of the accused, be made prior to, or at least simultaneously with the
commission of the fraud, it being essential that such false statement
or representation constitutes the very cause or the only motive which
induced the offended party to part with his good.…….XXX

Xxx The usual identifying information regarding a person includes his

identifying information without right, implicitly to cause

abuse of confidence through the misappropriation or conversion money, goods/property
of another to whom a return should be made and by deceiving others by means of using

related Identity Theft) of RA No. 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012) and
Article 315 (Swindling/Estafa) of the Revised Penal Code as amended by RA No.

S6 : Ako po si Rose Sikat Pula, 30 taong gulang, babae, dalaga, Filipino, at nakatira
sa Tamag, Vigan City, Ilocos Sur. Ako po ay isang business woman, mayroon po
akong pwesto sa palengke ng Vigan City, Ilocos Sur at nagtitinda po ako ng mga
beauty products.
T7 : Ano naman ang iyong dahilan at ikaw ay narito sa aming tangapan at

nagbibigay ng iyong malaya at kusang loob na salaysay, ma’am?
S7 : Ako po ay pumunta dito upang tumistigo tungkol sa problemang kinakahanap ni
Mary Jane S. Idica dahil ako rin po ay isang biktima ng taong gumawa sa kaniya
nito.
T8 : Maaring mo po bang sabihin at ikwento sa akin ang buong pangyayari?

S8 : Noong araw po ng February 10, nagtitingin po ako ng mga cellphone sa
Facebook Market place na ireregalo ko po sana sa aking nobyo sa kaniyang
kaarawan. Nang mayroon akong natipuhan na iPhone na siyang gustong gusto
ng aking nobyo. Nag message ako nag post na ang pangalan ay Mary Jane Idica
gamit ang aking Facebook account. Nag inquire ako tungkol sa iPhone 12 Pro
Max (256 GB). Sinagot naman niya ako ng mga specs nito at kung ano ang
kagandahan sa cellphone na iyon kumpara sa iba at ang sabi niya ay naka
promo daw sila hanggang katapusan lamang ng Pebrero kaya ako nakumbinsi
na bumili nalang sa kaniya dahil iniisip ko na saying din yung matitipid ko kung
sakali. Pumayag ako sa deal namin na magbabayad ako ng kalahati ng presyo
nung cellphone amounting to 33,500 pesos at ihuhulog ko ito sa kaniyang GCash
account tiyaka niya ipapadala yung cellphone sa JnT courier at ang aking
balanse ay babayaran ko na lamang pagka deliver sa akin nung delivery rider.
Nag-send pa siya sa akin ng picture ng kaniyang ID na patunay na hindi raw siya
manloloko at para na rin daw sa ikakapanatag ng loob ko. Dahil doon, mas
naging kampante ako sa transaction ko sa kaniya.
Pagkatapos kong mananghalian, pumunta ako sa 7-11 malapit sa palengke at

doon ko na rin inihulog ko yung bayad ko sa kaniyang GCash account mga
bandang 12:30 ng tanghali. Pagkatapos ay sined ko na sa kaniya yung resibo at
ang sabi niya, aayusin niya lang daw yung cellphone at tiyaka niya ako babalitan.
Mag okay ako dun kasi kampante nga ako eh. Pero mga bandang 3:00 na ng
hapon ay wala pa rin siyang message. Panay na ako message sa kaniya at
humuhingi ako ng update sa cellphone pero hindi niya sini-seen. Sinubukan ko
ring tinawagan yung number niya sa GCash, nari-ring naman pero hindi niya
sinasagot.
Nawala na sa isip ko yung cellphone. Mga bandang 5:30 ng hapon nung

matapos akong magsara ng store ay tinignan ko cellphone ko kung may update
na siya pero wala pa rin. Ang ikinagulat ko ay na-blocked na pala ako. Sinubukan
ko ulit tawagan yung number niya pero hindi na siya nagri-ring tapos namamatay
na agad yung call na para bang naka-block na rin yung number ko sa kaniya.
Pinost ko sa Facebook yung ID niya. Sinabi ko dun na manloloko siya, na

pagkatapos ma-send yung bayad sa kaniya eh biglang hindi na siya
magpaparamdam para ma-aware ko na rin po yung iba. Para wala na siyang
maloko ulit. Malaking bagay sa akin yung pera na yon kasi inipon ko yun eh.
Tinipid tipid ko pa man din sarili ko. Sinabi ko pa man din na sayang yung
matitipid ko sa promo nila. Iniyak ko nalang po talaga kasi hindi ko naman siya
kilala at wala rin namang nag approach sa akin after ko mai-post.
Mga bandang 1:10 nitong araw, may tumawag sa akin na number at ang sabi
niya ay siya raw yung tunay na Mary Jane Idica na pinost kong scammer sa
Facebook. Nagalit ako nung una, nakabigkas ako ng mga hindi magagaling salita
sa kaniya. Tapos inanyayahan niya ako sa Anti-Cybercrime Group sa ISPPO,
Bantay, Ilocos Sur para dun daw kami mag-usap at maipaliwanag niya yung
nangyari. Nang makarating ako sa Police Station, dun ko na rin ikwinento lahat
sa kaniya.
T9 : May mga karagdagang katanungan lang ako tungkol sa iyong salaysay,

ma’am. Maaari po ba?
S9 : Sige po.
T10 : Mapapatunayan mo po ba, base sa iyong salaysay, na si Mary Jane Idica

na iyong naka-usap sa Messenger at ang naka-usap mo sa Police Station
ay hindi iisa at magka-ibang tao talaga sila, ma’am?
S10 : Opo. Napatunayan ko po yon nang ipakita ni Mary Jane Idica, yung naka-usap
ko sa Police Station, yung ID niya na siyang ID rin na isinend sa akin nung Mary
Jane na naka-usap ko sa Messenger at siya ring isinend ni Mary Jane kay
Margaret Ada.
T11 : Nabanggit mo kanina ma’am na nawala sa isip mo iyong cellphone. Ano

ang ibig mong sabihin dito?
S11 : Nawala sa isip ko kasi sa mga ganong oras, 4:00-5:00 ng hapon, nag aayos na
ako sa store para magsara. Naga-audit at nag i-inventory ako sa mga oras na
yon kaya pansamantalang nawala sa isip ko yung tungkol sa cellphone, sir.
T12 : Maaari mo bang ilahad kung ano iyong ID na pinadala sayo sa Messenger
ni Mary Jane Idica, ma’am?
S12 : Driver’s license po, sir.
T13 : Bakit hindi ka nag-report sa mga awtoridad ng PNP noong nangyari ang
insidente sayo, ma’am?
S13 : Hindi ko nalang po ini-report kasi ayaw ko na rin po ng paulit-ulit na bumabalik
sa police station at sa kung ano-ano pa pong mga bagay lalo na po inaalagaan
ko rin ang lola ko pagka-uwi ko ng bahay. Nag focus nalang po ako sa store ko
para makabawi po ulit. Isa pa po, dalawa lang po kami sa store ng pinsan ko,
ayaw ko pong iwan kung maaari ang pwesto.
T14 : Bakit po ma’am? May sakit po ba ang lola niyo? Ilang taon na po siya?
S14 : 86 years old na siya, sir. Naatake kasi siya noong nakaraang taon. Kaya hindi
na siya gaanong nakaka-kilos. Kailangan lagging may naka-supervise sa kaniya
para hindi siya mapano.
T15 : Nabanggit mo po na kung maaari ay ayaw mong iwan ang iyong pwesto.
Ngunit bakit noong tinawagan ka po ni Mary Jane Idica ay dali-dali kang
pumunta dito sa aminig tanggapan, ma’am?
S15 : Aaminin ko sir, nag baka sakali akong maibalik yung pera ko. Pero ang nasa
isip ko na lamang po habang nagda-drive ko ng motor ko kanina ay para
masagot na rin po ang mga katanungan ko kung bakit po nagawa ni Mary Jane
iyon at kung ano yung tunay na nangyari talaga, sir. Para na rin po matahimik
ang utak ko sa kakaisip, iniwan ko po nalang po muna yung pwesto sa pinsan
ko.
T16 : Lagi po ba kayong binabagabag ng nangyari sa inyo, ma’am?

S16 : Halos araw-araw po, sir. Ipon ko po kasi yun eh. Ang hirap pa man din po ng
kita ngayon sa store.
T17 : Nabanggit mo rin kanina ma’am na pumunta ka sa 7-11 malapit sa

palengke ng Vigan City at doon mo na rin inihulog ‘yong paunang bayad sa
cellphone. Wala ka po bang GCash account ma’am at doon mo nalang
inihulog?
S17 : Doon ko na po inihulog sir kasi ayaw ko po ng hassle. Mayroon po akong
GCash account pero hindi po ako naglalagay ng pera doon kasi automatic po na
nagbabawas yung GCash ko dahil sa mga subscriptions ko po sa ibat-ibang
applications ko sa cellphone ko, sir.
T18 : Pansamantala ay wala na po akong itatanong sa iyo, ma’am. Mayroon ka

po bang ibang ibig na idagdag o bawasan sa salaysay mong ito?
S18 : Wala na po.
T19 : Ikaw po ba ay tinakot, pinangakuan, o binigyan ng pabuya sa pagbibigay

mo ng salysay na ito, ma’am?
S19 : Hindi po ako tinakot ng kung sino man at wala pong nangako sakin at wala din
pong nagbigay ng kung anu mang bagay sakin upang magbigay ng salaysay na
ito. Ako po mismo ang nag-boluntaryo na magbigay po ng salaysay.
T20 : Handa mo bang lagdaan ang salaysay mong ito na binubuo ng apat na

COMPLAINT AFFIDAVIT
I, MARY JANE IDICA Y SATIVA, Filipino, female, single, 25 years old, an

instructor, and a resident of Brgy. Cabittaogan, Sta. Catalina, Ilocos Sur
1. That, at about 9:30 in the morning of February 06, 2023, I reached Margaret
Ada y Juke thru Messenger and inquired about the specs and price of iPhone
12 (256 GB) that she posted in Facebook Market.
2. At about 9:35AM, Margaret J. Ada replied to my inquiry and tried to convince

me to buy the cellphone because of its good price. That, I will just need to
send her my half payment for the transaction to proceed. Then she asks me
to send two valid identification cards with a “selfie” while holding the said IDs
as a proof that the transaction was legit. We made a deal that I will send the
said downpayment thru GCash and after which, she will send the item thru
JnT Courier. I immediately went to 7/11 Convenient Store to cash in. After
sending the receipt, she told me that she will just pack the item.
3. At about 10:30AM, Margaret J. Ada sent me a tracking number stating that

the item was already shipped. But days have passed, still, no item is being
delivered. Because of worry, I checked our conversation and found out that I
was already blocked in all my social media accounts.

activities. Operatives help me search and find Ms. Ada. But to my surprise, it
was confirmed that my identity and pictures that I sent to Ms. Ada was
already circulating on Facebook and they are calling me “scammer.”

operation and engaged with Ms. Ada using the identity of Ms. Balita. Ms. Ada
agreed that the mode of delivery will be booked personally by Ms. Balita thru
Lalamove Express Delivery.
7. Joint operatives of Anti-Cybercrime Group-ISPPO together with the Bantay

Municipal Police Station proceeded to the Main Entrance of Arveemar
Subdivision, Bantay, Ilocos Sur as the said pick-up point address stated by
Ms. Ada and one of the members of the team will disguised as Lalamove

DIGITAL FORENSIC EXAMINATION REPORT
Introduction
A request for service was issued to conduct a digital forensic examination of the
confiscated cellphone belonging to Margaret Juke Ada, evidence item marked CAA-1-
02-14-2023. The request for examination was issued by PLT. Bruce D. Magkamali,
Chief of Investigation of the Anti-Cybercrime Group – Ilocos Sur Provincial Police Office
to verify and confirm if the confiscated cellphone was used by Margaret Juke Ada for
the commission of fraudulent activity, and to recover pertinent information that will link
the her.
The report was written by PMSg. Rommel P. Rabara, a digital forensic examiner.
The examination uncovered information that is associated with Margaret Juke Ada.
Summary
The evidence item marked CAA-1-02-14-2023 was examined on 02/14/2023.

With the consultation from the case inspector and legal counsel, the examination
proceeded and only inspected the types of evidence/information to be
searched/recovered.
The registry files of the system and the data of the user were inspected on the
same day using the RegRipper (v 2.8) Tool for extracting/parsing information from the
registry. This tool is used because of its standard and acceptance in digital forensic
community.
The important data present such as the registry files and information of the user,
active accounts on Facebook and Messenger including their links were found by going
through the logical file system particularly the SAM (Security Accounts Manager)
Registry File. Through the analyzation, it was found out that there are two (2) accounts
that are active both in Facebook and Messenger App namely, Margaret Juke Ada and
Mary Jane Idica. Further, the account of Mary Jane Idica was just recently registered on
the device. The users also have the same passwords and never has a failed attempt in
logging in.
Conclusion
From the evidence, this Office concludes that it is probable that Margaret Juke
Ada uses the same account that was logged in on the two (2) afore mentioned
applications since passwords of both accounts are the same. In addition, Margaret Juke
Ada seemed to have been using it for quite a while since the account of Mary Jane Idica
was just recent added to the device.
