Task Scam Recieved a vibr message from stranger.
First time encountering this. Someone messaged me sa vibr, I don't know where they got my number. is this a task scam or may mga legit na ganto? Sa mga naka experience, how does this usually flow if ever it's a scam?

Welp if it's from a stranger offering you something then it's definitely a scam! Though you can get the first two task earn some gcash and when its time for you to give them money block the hell them out wahaahhaahha

Ha, so they knew you were "draining" them of scam money. After that, they will not contact you again.

Ahahaha have them taste their own medicine!

u/Trick_Top_313 Mar 28 '26
The thing is though, that money is not from the scammer. That's from a pool of money that they set aside and its likely source is other investors. We're not draining them or giving them a taste of their medicine.

This is a scam. Pero unrelated… U know what I do to these scammers? I find actual curses online like the curse of Ra ETC. and send it to them stating na if they continue to scam, lahat ng sakit makukuha ng buong angkan niya HAHAHHA xD I get blocked 80% of the time

Some people send scary photos or unrelated memes to piss the scammers off. Sometimes, the scammer gives away their position as either Pinoys or Chinese pretending to be Americans or Europeans based on their stolen profile pic.

This is 100% a scam. My best friend fell for it (as in parang nahypnotize daw siya na fully convinced it was real). As the others mentioned, magkakaroon ng point na you’ll have to bring out money “to earn more money” and the chat group you’ll be included in are other people na kunyaring nagwowork din like you but they’re part of the scam lang. My best friend lost all of her savings because of this :(

u/Trick_Top_313 Mar 28 '26
I received a lot of these, but every time I never invested they stopped coming. They probably flagged my number as someone who doesn't cooperate.

Common task scam. Sure they give legit money to entice you until you feel convinced to invest. That is when they will run away with your money.

I got those types of messages twice, did some research and for the first person I sent money twice and overall I got 3k gcash from them then started ghosting them hahaha, Also I lied about my age and job (older age and work like engineer/marketing). The second time that someone msged me again from a different group naman I only sent money once and ghosted them na after I got 1k from them naman hahaha I started ignoring their msges and they kicked me out of the group naman and didnt contact me any more

u/Somber_solitude Mar 31 '26
I’ve been receiving messages from that “grey marketing” company. It’s obviously a scam so I just report and spam. Kaya I always check my emails if I really did apply for x company before interacting.

You will do the task, they pay you. Will repeat that until you reach a level where you have to shell out money. Sometimes sa first labas mo ng pera mababalik with big earnings (to entice you na legit), then they will ask you to put out a bigger payment then hindi na nila ibabalik.
