PHONE CALL. A rich businesswoman who is also a media personality told The Ear that she got a landline call from a girl who claimed she was Marie Lopez. The caller told her that her husband’s name has been selected from a customer list and he won a prize. This Marie Lopez told her to go to Ma. Fe Reyes at the Arresta booth in Parkmall to claim the prize. She said, “She gave me a PIN. I never went. She doesn’t even know where that mall is.”
