The modus is performed by a certain group offering mortgaged condominium properties to their victims in exchange of P18, 000 each month for a unit.
“Dating nang inireklamo sa Register of Deeds na sinangla pero napagalaman ng biktima na nakasangla na rin sa ibang tao,” Villanueva said.

The agency said that the suspects have past cases of estafa and a standing warrant of arrest. Complaints are being prepared for the suspects while the authorities are searching
