The U.S. Probation Office informed the court that Pangelinan was untruthful and did not follow the instructions of his probation officer.
Federal Probation Officer Gregory F. Arriola said he visited Pangelinan at his residence on Oct. 31, 2011 to inform the former CRM official about his counseling session.
Pangelinan was located standing in front of a building across from Town House Shopping Center talking on a cell phone.
After the conversation, Pangelinan entered an Internet shop and sat behind a desktop computer.
Pangelinan told Arriola that he was attempting to contact his son in Oregon through the internet.
A crumpled piece of paper with numbers written on it was seen near Pangelinan, who tried to conceal it by dropping it to the floor, Arriola said.
Arriola reminded Pangelinan that he was specifically instructed to cease using the internet since he had been communicating with online scammers.
Pangelinan maintained that he was attempting to contact his son, and it was his first time to access the internet.
But the shop owner told the federal probation officer that Pangelinan had been a frequent customer for the past two months.
Pangelinan later admitted to Arriola that the numbers on the crumpled piece of paper represented Western Union routing number for the money he sent to his “girlfriend” in Australia, “Carole J. Millar.”
Pangelinan said he was sending money to Millar to help her purchase a ticket to Saipan, and that he was using his retirement pay.
Pangelinan said the ticket cost $2,000.
Arriola said he again attempted to explain to Pangelinan that he was being manipulated by online scammers, but the former CRM official said Millar should arrive on Saipan within the week.
Arriola told Pangelinan to return home and to cease accessing the internet.
The U.S. probation officer earlier informed the court that Pangelinan had been scamming family members and contacting individuals online.
In April 2007, Pangelinan was sentenced to three years and one month imprisonment after being convicted in a jury trial for five counts of wire fraud that victimized individuals through internet fraud schemes.
Pangelinan was ordered to pay $129,250 in restitution to five victims. He was placed on three years of supervised release upon release from federal prison.
