Beware: Modus Operandi

I've been working in our store for years now and i had a few encounter with these evil peeps. One time, a couple in motorcycle parked in front of our store and the guy approached Mom and said he wants to buy 1 Philips Daylight Bulb. The item cost P199. The guy handed down P1000 bill. While Mom is scurrying looking for a change, the guy suddenly said that he wants to cancel the transaction coz his dad already bought 1. So Mom gave him back the P1000 bill. Then, i dunno what happened, in a matter of seconds, he gave back P100 to Mom and said, "you gave me P100". Mom was a bit disoriented and she went back to the cash box to look for the P1000 bill but she can't find it. She asked me if i saw the money and i said, i didn't touch anything. I talked to the guy and asked him if he is sure Mom didn't give him back the P1000 coz it's impossible to just vanished like that. He said he is very sure and he even showed both of his pockets. I saw Mom holding some P100s, P50s, probably worth P1000 and said, this is all the money we have, if i gave you all this, we'll left out nothing. Then i heard the wife asked "why it's taking too long". So i stared at the wife in the motorcycle and i told Mom to hold on and don't give anything to the guy yet. Once again, i told the guy "it's really impossible! for sure my Mom gave you the P1000 bill" and all of a sudden, i was like enlightened and i remember the same incident happened few months ago. I know it was the same couple also. So i stared at the guy and remembered his face. Maybe he felt that i could sense something already. He then said "what are you looking at? i just want smaller bills for my P100 if it's ok" then i replied "oh really, then here's the two P50's" and they left rushing away. 

After that disturbing incident, i told mom everything. That i know that these couple were trying to fool us and same thing happened to me before etc etc. Mom was so thankful that i'm there and we're guided by our angels or else we will lose P1000. The only money we had at that moment. 

I hope this will serve as a reminder to everyone especially to store owners or those who work in the stores. Always have presence of mind and pray for guidance. Evils are just lurking around. Waiting for the right moment to attack. Be careful!
