Dennis Jose Borbon is a Filipino blogger , hacker, and fraudster who has attempted to extort money out of high-profile politicians such as Bong Go and JV Ejercito.
Blogging
Borbon was a part of an online smear campaign against candidates of the Duterte administration. He was paid 20 - 40 thousand pesos every month for the anti-Duterte posts.
Criminal career
On July 26, 2019, Borbon used Viber to impersonate as the former Camarines Sur representative Arnulfo Fuentebella to ask for 25,000 pesos from Jolo Revilla, the current vice-governor of Cavite. He attempted to extort 20,000 pesos from Bong Go but Go knew about his modus operandi.
He admitted that his group was involved in an operation to steal credit card information. The process was that a cashier would take a picture of customers' credit cards, then would send the picture to his syndicate. He would pay 1,500 pesos for each credit card if the information was correct.
One of his accomplices, John Curt Resco, attempted to secure 300,000 pesos by impersonating a representative of a Daet bishop but he was arrested by the NBI. Borbon was linked as the mastermind of the operation.
Arrest
He was arrested in Malabon City by PNP officers after he withdrew 15,000 pesos from an ATM machine. He is currently detained at the Manila City Jail. The estafa case against him is still ongoing.
