ADVERTISEMENTAccording to the online trader, a woman supposedly from Cavite sent them a photo of a BDO deposit slip showing her supposed payment. However, a check with BDO revealed that no such transaction ever occurred and that the deposit slip was fake. “The person who made the fake deposit slip was a reseller of her clothing products, whom she met at an online sellers group.”“So, she instead asked the buyer to direct the payment to my account. But when I checked it, no amount reflected on my online account then I had the deposit slip verified, which eventually turned out fake,” she added.
