A new modus operandi being applied by criminal elements here in Rizal is the pay ransom now, be kidnapped later scheme. Apparently these guys send text messages to their target demanding that he pay half a million pesos or run the risk of him or any of his loved ones being kidnapped. The amount was later on reduced to 200K pesos. The businessman freaked out when he realized that the people behind the messages seemed to know a lot about him and his family, where he lived and knew who his friends were. Good thing the businessman reported it to the police, who helped him in the money exchange stake out. The police shot three of the gang members. Problem now is identifying who the real mastermind is!
