MULTIPLE CHOICE

RR convinced WW to take a job in Taiwan, assuring her of a good salary and entitlement to a yearly vacation. WW paid to RR the processing fee for passport and visa, but no receipt was issued for the payment. WW was made to use the alien certificate of registration of another person with a Chinese name and instructed on how to use the Chinese name. The application of WW was rejected by the Taiwanese authorities. Cases were filed against RR for illegal recruitment and estafa. The case of illegal recruitment was dismissed. Is RR liable for estafa? (A) RR is liable for estafa with unfaithfulness or abuse of confidence. (B) RR is liable for estafa by means of false pretenses. (C) RR is not liable for estafa because WW participated in the illegal travel documents. (D) RR can no longer be held liable for estafa because with the dismissal of the case against him for illegal recruitment, double jeopardy has already set in.
