Alden allegedly scammed out of P100 million, Cristy Fermin asks: How did that happen?
WHO scammed Kapuso heartthrob Alden Richards out of P100 million?

This was the topic of Nanay Cristy Fermin and Romel Chika yesterday, June 22, on their program “Cristy Ferminute” which airs on True FM 105.9 in Mega Manila.

Just a few days ago, the CFM host mentioned that Alden had gone through a lot last year.

“He (Alden) didn’t admit it, but his statement that he had nothing, so we thought he might have been scammed,” Romel Chika began.

‘Nay Cristy added, “Rock bottom, he said or if there’s anything worse than rock bottom, that’s it. His latest statement is, “I, above my demons now, which means he’s over it.” We reported the news about Ken Chan, the news that he (Alden) was scammed for only P5M, but there was P100 million, how did that happen, he’s good at business, right?”

Romel Chika said, “Everyone who does business these days ends up losing money, that’s where they learn and become better businessmen.”

“Then there comes a time when we trust too much because we think it won’t come back to haunt us, right? I hope Alden Richards picked it up this time because it’s not that easy to be scammed out of a hundred million. That was his hard-earned money, he worked hard for it, he didn’t pick it up from the gutter and the sewer,” said Cristy.

Romel Chika added, “At the same time as trusting your friend, I was already cheated out of money, I was even cheated out of a friend, all of that hurt the most.”

Many CFM’ers also reacted to what happened to Alden and that he is a very kind person and that he will just leave it to God and he will recover in time.

“Usually the ones who are fooled are the kind ones because they give change to people to enter their lives,” said Romel Chika.

Meanwhile, while Cristy’s mother was telling others, she received a message that surprised her greatly.

“I was terrified, you know where the P100 million went. Thank you very much to those who texted us, thank you, thank you so much. Oh, this is what happened to Alden, (while looking at her cellphone), it’s a scam, oh my,” said Cristy’s mother
