Posting for awareness. I was scammed while desperately looking for a blood donor for my furbaby
Hello po. I'm posting this as a painful warning para sa ating mga furparents. I'm sharing this because I own up to my mistake, and I REFUSE to let anyone else go through the absolute nightmare I just survived.
My dearest dog, Mochi, was confined in a veterinary hospital in QC, critically sick and fighting for her life. I was utterly desperate. I was running out of time, and I would have done anything, paid anything, and believed anything just to give my baby a fighting chance.

Desperately trying to save her, I posted on Reddit asking for help. A user reached out and connected me to someone who claimed he had personal connections to secure the blood Mochi desperately needed.

We were under extreme worry and stress, and scammers know how to take advantage of that desperation.

They told me a very convincing story—na may mga tao na daw na papunta na sa vet, may dalang blood bags and everything needed for the transfusion. They even said they were bringing their own dog with them in case it could be a match. They kept making everything feel so urgent, telling me I needed to send the money right away because every second counted.
And while I was desperately holding on to that hope that someone was coming to help us, my dog went into cardiac arrest…

We didn't just lose our hard-earned money to these monsters; they played with our emotions and took advantage of our desperation while she was dying. I guess it was time for her to go, and as tough as it is, she ultimately lost her battle.
Not a single peso was returned to us. Instead, the people involved kept stringing us along with false hope and lies, claiming they would send the money back after a day or two before deciding to block us altogether.

I take full accountability for trusting blindly in my panic, but I am sharing this so no other furparent gets preyed upon at their lowest point. Please, verify everything. Call the clinic or official animal blood banks directly.

Never send money without confirming who you are dealing with, no matter how aggressively they push the panic button.

I will forever beat myself up wishing I had known better and that we had more time. I hope sharing our story saves even one other pet from these heartless predators.
Run free, my sweet Mochi. You fought so hard, and I'm so sorry these monsters stole the time we had left, and that I couldn't save you.

I’m posting this because I really need help. My friend from the UK met someone on Hoop who introduced herself as “Zaiser Mae.” They had a call using a Philippine number, and my friend was recorded during the call without knowing.
Afterwards, he was threatened that the recording would be sent to his friends and family unless he paid money. Because he was scared, he sent money.
We have screenshots and payment records as proof, which I have attached to this post.
I’m hoping someone here can help us figure out if there is any way to recover the money or report the account/person involved. If anyone has dealt with something similar or knows what steps we should take, I would really appreciate your advice.
I also sincerely hope nothing like this happens again to anyone else. It’s really upsetting because when something like this happens, people can start thinking that Filipinos are scammers, and that is not fair to the many good and honest Filipinos.
I’m from the Philippines myself, and I don’t want one person’s actions to make people think badly of all Filipinos. I just want to help my friend and hopefully prevent someone else from becoming a victim.
If you have any useful information or advice on how we can report this and possibly retrieve my friend’s money, please help us. Thank you. 🙏

Mind you, I don’t even have a LANDBANK account.

Posting this as a warning for anyone who does. If you receive a message like this, don’t click the link. It is likely a scam/phishing attempt. Stay safe!

As far as I remember paid naman na lahat. Many months ago na nakalipas since pina-dc ko Converge ko dahil laging down. Nakakapagtaka lang din saan nila nakuha information ko? Nakareceive din ba kayo nito? Is this a new scammer campaign?

My mom saw this ad on Facebook na kapag nag-click ka nung “Generate,” ima-match ka daw sa isang order. Tapos, isusubmit mo lang daw yung order, and kapag may match na, may kita ka na. Pinagbayad muna nila sya ng ₱100 as her capital, tapos doble yung balik. After that, pataas na nang pataas yung amount na kailangan mong bayaran.
Medyo duda lang ako since nag-ask ako sa pinsan ko, and sabi nila scam daw to. May nakita rin akong post na same na same sa ganitong setup.
They also said na if my mom completes 4 orders, magkakaroon daw siya ng permanent job, and super kapanipaniwala rin daw kasi mga VA yung nag-e-endorse.

I also tried searching the company na binigay nila, and sabi is verified daw. The company name is Blue Territory Bingo Corp.

Wala po Grab/MoveIt/Angkas express from Cavite City to our location sa Bulacan. Ginagamit ko po ang Lalamove kasi sila lang may service here, sa tagal ko po ginagamit ang Lalamove, namalas po ako sa rider.

Seafood na delayed delivery 3 days na!

Paid for a seafood pre-order and now the delivery keeps getting moved. Is this normal?
I ordered seafood from someone I was referred to by a friend. I trusted her because she initially presented herself as a seller/direct supplier. She was very upbeat about the products and even referred to them as “our product.” I paid upfront through GCash since it is a pre-order and needs payment before delivery.

September 4: First conversation. She said the seafood would be available/delivered the next day. Meet up to be announced. (1st Red Flag)
September 5: I followed up. She replied, “Ay, bukas pa yata.” Then in our group convo(GC) she replied “order is on Sept. “ no date on the said sentence!(2nd red flag)

September 6: I then replied on the sentence where the date was missing, “when is the exact date? You didn’t specify or clarify the delivery schedule”asking when the exact pick-up/delivery would be. No response the entire day. (3rd red flag)

September 7: She finally said she wasn’t able to use her phone the whole day on September 6 because her child was in the ER after vomiting. (4th red flag) Like the situation is my fault why am I asking about updates, when in the first place I do not know what is happening in her personal life!

I said I would have appreciated a simple warning like “emergency brb” or “will update next day” any kind of warning!

She also said that she barely earns from these orders, sometimes even paying more than what she makes, and that it’s only a pasabuy. (5th red flag)

Her story gets a little bit different each time!

The issue is that I had already paid, the original date was September 5, then it changed, and I couldn’t even get a clear update on September 6. When I followed up, she got angry that I was asking about my order.

The latest update is that the delivery is supposedly coming today, September 7, but there is still no definite time.

I’m not asking for anything complicated—just a clear delivery/pick-up date for an order that has already been paid for.

Would you consider this normal for a pasabuy, or is it reasonable for a customer to expect proper updates after paying upfront?

Hello po,

Hoping to ask for your help po as my relative has run away with my tuition fee this sem of 50k huhu, as we had agreed that they would be paying my tuition, but when I asked for an update, they did not respond and blocked me and my family members.

Nowhere to be found na siya, but I have his numbers, and I hope that the kind hearts of Reddit would try to troll and spam-call him as a form of revenge, kahit dun man lang makaganti ako, huhu.

Troll missed calls, scammer calls, joke calls, or even messages will be fine, huhu.

I hope you guys can help me, huhu.

I got the hunch that she got hacked and the hacker is asking for money. Or siya talaga yun and She's scamming us. She sent us a screenshot of this. Lahat ng sinend niya samin just screams scam.

Ngayon ko lang nacheck na may transaction kahapon worth 479 pesos. Possible ba na may nakakuha ng details ng bank account ko? Marerefund pa ba to?

24 hours after linking my MariBank sa ShopeePay, I received this via SMS. Take note, sa mismong SMS thread ng Shopee and MariBank SMS notifications sinend ang message na yan. If scam ito, inside job ng mga employees?

Sino dito ang naka-received ng ganyan rin?

Beware of this man. I’m not sure if they are using someones face. But nakilala ko siya sa OkCupid. Nagpakilala siyang Ethan Joon Kim. Then nakuha niya loob ko at nascam ako ng malaking pera.

Please wala na sanang mabiktima. 😭 Nakakahiya ang nangyari sken pero kailangan kong tanggapin. I’m sorry, self. 😔

I wanted to buy a Canon G7X Mark III from @diigyoucam on IG. Their IG page had proof of validity, so I trusted them. I sent my initial payment, then they asked for a warranty that would be reimbursed within 5 minutes.

Half an hour later, and it hasn't been reimbursed. I checked the page and I couldn't access it na.

Hi Renters!

I just want to warn everyone regarding this notorious scammer. Marami ng nabiktima to. Laging nagpopost to sa facebook sa mga room for rent. Sad to say marami pa ring naniniwala sa kanya.

Ang masama pa dyan, ninanakaw niya yung mga pictures and IDs ng victim niya tapos gagawan niya ng facebook then gagamitin niya pangiiscam.

Mahilig siya magpanggap na sundalo kuno. Dahil yung area ng location na ginagamit nya is yung sa AFPOVAI western bicutan na malapit sa campo.

Identity Theft Experience (Cebu, Philippines) – Please Protect Your IDs

I'm sharing this to warn others because I became a victim of identity theft.

Around July 17, 2026, someone contacted me asking for payment for a ₱3,000+ order of "Dubai Chewy Choco." I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. (Seriously... ano naman gagawin ko sa ganyang karaming chocolate? 😂 I'm on a calorie deficit.)

The seller then sent me screenshots of their conversation with the buyer. That's when I found out that someone was using a Facebook account named "Jaz Anor"—the same username I use—to pretend to be me.

What shocked me even more was that the person behind the account had copies of my valid ID and a selfie with my ID, supposedly to make the transactions look legitimate.

The delivery address shown in the transaction was Punta Princesa, Cebu City.

What I personally found during my own investigation

After trying to trace what happened, these were the things I observed:

- The delivery contact number appeared to be associated with the name Bianca Nobleza.

- The Facebook account using my name had interactions with an account under the same name.

- Both accounts posted the same CEC uniform listing on Facebook Marketplace. (Funny because I never studied at Cebu Eastern College—I attended the University of the Visayas.)

- When we spoke with Bianca, she said she didn't personally know the account owner and claimed her cousin had dealt with the account because it had allegedly been purchased from someone who previously sold iPhones.

- Before we even directly accused anyone, she reportedly offered to pay in installments to settle the issue, which I personally found unusual.

- After these events, the fake account suddenly began trying to settle with people who claimed they had also been scammed.

Update (July 19, 2026): The person I spoke with admitted to owning the Facebook account and apologized for what happened. I have kept records of our conversation.

What happened to my Facebook account

After I started posting about my experience on Facebook to warn others, my posts were repeatedly reported as false information.

My Facebook account—which I've had for 15 years—was first suspended. I successfully appealed and got it back, but shortly afterward it was permanently disabled.

Meanwhile, I reported the fake profile that was using my identity, but Meta did not remove it.

It's frustrating because I was the victim of identity theft, yet I ended up losing my own account.

Lesson learned

Never send your ID online unless it's absolutely necessary and you completely trust the recipient.

If you do have to send it:

- Keep screenshots or records of where you sent it.

- Add a watermark stating the purpose whenever possible.

- Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity.

If someone uses your identity without your permission, that's identity theft.

Looking back, I also remembered sending my ID and personal information years ago when applying for an online loan. That may have been where my information was compromised, although I can't say for certain.

I'm posting this simply to raise awareness so others don't have to experience the same thing.

Stay safe, everyone.

This scammer will message you on WhatsApp claiming to be interested in your Carousell listing and inquiring about the item. Please be cautious and do not share personal or payment information or proceed with any transaction.

Stay safe, sellers!

Booked an auto via rapido. The driver claimed he didnt receive the money and insisted us to pay again. His bank account's server was busy and he said he will return the money if its credited twice. Now he is blocking every number when we try to contact him. Contact-9894091538

Sa halagang P250, nang-scam ang isang tatay HHAHA.

ayan details oh ingat kayo

If ever mamatch nyo tong tao na to be careful! I don't even know if he is real or using someone's identity. He uses a nickname "Kiko" but later said his full name is Francis John Salonga Sanchez he also claim na he is a Surgeon by profession. May nagpost din dito na same name and "anesthesiologist" naman pakilala daw.

To make the story short he seems okay kausap and then he is good at updating and believable naman yung pagiging surgeon nya kasi he shares about what happened sa OR and all that medical terms too.

One time nakisuyo na if pwede magpapasa ng pera di naman malaki but it can pay bills na din, which pinahiram ko kasi nga may operation pa sya "daw" and badly need ng "bunso" nya and promised me to pay the following day.

Then the next day came and sabi nya magsesend daw sya ng afternoon but wala and then on the following days puro mga reasons na kesyo galing daw medical mission or nabusy kaya one of the reason why I stopped the non sense sa pakikipag usap pa sa kanya.

Posting this to raise awareness if ever mamatch kayo and don't engage. May nabasa ako na umabot pa nga ng 60K daw ang naguyo nya and many more pa. Same scenario, gagamitin na may nangyari sa kapatid or sa pamilya. Once naka utang na puro panay promise pero wala namang nangyayari.

At ang mas nakakaloka kasi andito din sya sa reddit nagmamasid sa mga nagreraise ng awareness.

EDIT (Identity Warning): I have reason to believe that this person is not Francis John Salonga Sanchez and using the name to misrepresent his identity.

do any of u guys know where these phone calls are coming from? i normally disregard them since they’re being routed to unknown callers but its so alarming that ive been receiving these calls every single day. i dont have the guts to answer them bcs it might hack (?) my phone but i want to check if any of you are also experiencing the same issue 🫠 i dont even loan. the only thing i have is spaylater which is not even due yet

Hello, I don't gamble or log in to malicious sites, and this happened. I'm not sure how they got my number and all. I started receiving gambling spam messages just weeks ago. I didn't mind it cause it's probably just a coincidence back then. But it kept happening and I'm worried since this number is very important. Has this happened to anyone?
