  • Charity Scam

    WHO - Online Scammer, and online FB users
    WHAT - Fake plea for donations
    WHEN - sometime 2019 up to present
    WHERE - Online FB groups
    WHY - People are suckers for a sob story
    HOW - Scammer joins an FB group (usually a local community) and poses as a local resident. Soon after, the scammer will make a post asking for financial aid for some sad reason. It's usually a medical story (accident, renal failure, heart defect, etc.) complete with pictures stolen from other FB posts. In some cases, they will steal entire posts and just change the GCash or Maya number in order to funnel cash donations into their own pockets.

    This scam really took off during the pandemic. People were cooped up in their homes and had all the time in the world to be glued to their screens. As such, so many fell prey to this.

    Aftermath: People in our area have eventually wizened up and now take the time to verify such calls for financial aid. Some even go as far as asking for the address to verify if the person is indeed at the address they claim to be at.

    Moral lesson: Always be skeptical. Especially with online calls for financial aid, you never know if the person on the other end is legit until you take the time to verify it. Some are actually legit - except for the account where to send the donations. So always be vigilant, and make sure your donation is received by the real person in need.

    simula ng sim card registration, mukhang lumakas pa lalo mga scammers na ito.
    funny thing when you report to NTC, they will collect identifiables (full name, email, address, phone number ) ironically all these can be used for hacking. oh well.
  • WHO - NAIA Personnel (some)
    WHAT - Thievery
    WHEN - Ongoing 24/7
    WHERE - NAIA Terminal 1 / X-ray Counter Check areas

  • Ingat sa Rider ng Food Panda Scam

    If you order food from FoodPanda and pay using credit card, don't believe the rider when he calls and inform you that there is a problem with the payment sa side ng vendor. Sasabihin ni rider na i-cancel mo ang order or ipapa-cancel ni rider sa vendor at aabonohan na lang nya at bayaran mo na lang siya ng cash. Ang mangyayari ay makukuha mo ang food pero madodoble ang payment mo kasi hindi mo makukuha ang refund from FoodPanda. Ang reason ng vendor/Food Panda for disallowing the refund is dahil nagawa/naluto na ang order.

    It happened to my daughter kaninang lunch time. I don't know kung paano nakukuha ng rider ang food from vendor kung cancelled na ang order. Siguro binobola nya ang vendor at hinihingi ang cancelled order. Ano ba dapat gawin para mahabol itong scammer? Kasi baka may ma scam pa siya na ibang tao kung hahayaan na lang.
  • Ano ba dapat gawin


    for me, report sa CS ng FP. Then wait for action.

    The most practical thing to do imho, is to uninstall the app na.
  • ^ Useless ang CS ng Food Panda. hindi nila kinoconsider na scam yung nangyari kundi a cancellation matter. May language barrier pa kasi Indian national ang kausap, parang call center ang CS ng Food Panda.
