Filipino arrested over travellers cheque scam



Hcm City People's Procurarcy said on April 16 that it had arrested and charge aFilipino for fraud for cashing tampered travelles cheques and is investigating other Filipino touristrelated to this case. Reportedly,the suspect Danny Abelino brought into Vietnam travellers cheques of $100 and $500 each and expertedly encashed them at local money changers.
