She said she knew something was wrong when she noticed a stranger behind her in the children's aisle of Burlington Coat Factory in Rego Park.

"I saw a light went off behind me, and he's holding his phone on camera mode," she said.

Gamboa and her sister confronted the man.

"He said, 'What happened? I didn't do anything,'" said her sister, Edalyn Estrada.

"I had goosebumps," she added. "If you look at the video he was actually covering the camera using the baby clothes just slip the phone under her skirt."

Gamboa is visiting her sister for the summer before going back to her native Philippines, where she's a beauty pageant contestant.
