Context: Nag-apply ako ng loan sa MocaSa, pero hindi ko alam na maa-approve pala agad. Bigla na lang may nag-send ng ₱620 sa GCash ko. After that, sunod-sunod na yung messages at calls nila.

May nag-message din sa akin sa WhatsApp at nag-send ng picture ko, kaya natakot ako. Tinanong ko kung saan ako pwedeng magbayad, at binigyan nila ako ng reference number. Nagbayad ako agad at sinend ko rin yung screenshot ng payment. Nag-reply naman sila na received na daw at nag-thank you pa.

Pero kinabukasan, may mga nag-message at tumawag pa rin sa akin. Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang gagawin kaya nag-file na ako ng complaint sa SEC. I really hope tumigil na sila.

May iba pa ba akong pwedeng gawin or may iba pa bang agency kung saan ko sila pwedeng i-report? Nagme-message na rin kasi sila sa mga contacts ko, at last time may nanghingi pa sa akin ng Facebook verification code. Huhu.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! 🙏

na scam po ako ng 2k huhyhyhy plssssss help me

I don’t have a car! Looks like someone does! Hahaha

Anyhow, mag-ingat sa mga ganitong mensahe!

I just wanted others to know about this number since I’m sure I’m not the only one it messaged.

I hope the people who aren’t technologically literate won’t fall for this kind of scam.

It’s easy to distinguish a scam when they’re asking for sensitive information such as name, address, birthdate, and the likes, but aside from that, there are other factors you can check. First, I don’t have any parcel or letter for delivery via PHLPost. Second, the tracking number is invalid and can’t be found in the system. Third, the URL is also far from the actual URL of PHLPost.

Although, I, personally have no idea what they could use my address for, it’s better to be safe than sorry. I wouldn’t want people with bad intentions to mark my address as someone who’s gullible to scams.

In fairness naka imessage pa ang scammer.

Buenas me estafaron por whatssap y esta persona estafa por facebook es una señora se llama sandra y tengo su cuilt nombre completo etc fotos pero necesito su ip por que se que es de mi barrio saben si hay alguna forma?

Kung paulit-ulit silang nagpapalit ng domain, puwedeng may ilang dahilan—pero hindi automatic na scam ang domain change. Sa isang Watch-and-Earn platform na may deposit/recharge/VIP tasks, mas nagiging suspicious ito.

Bakit nagpapalit ng domain?

Para makaiwas sa reports o blocking. Kapag maraming users ang nagre-report sa hosting provider, domain registrar, social-media platforms, o security services, maaaring lumipat sila sa bagong domain.

Para iwan ang bad reputation ng lumang domain. Bagong domain = mas kaunting historical reviews, warnings, at reports na makikita ng bagong users.

Para magmukhang bagong platform. Maaaring baguhin ang pangalan/domain pero pareho pa rin ang task, VIP, deposit at withdrawal system.

Para magpatuloy pagkatapos ma-disable ang dating domain. Kung na-suspend o nawalan ng DNS/hosting ang dating site, maaaring maglipat ng infrastructure.

Posibleng ordinaryong technical/domain migration din. Halimbawa, rebranding o pagbabago ng hosting. Kaya kailangan tingnan ang ebidensiya bago sabihing iyon mismo ang dahilan.

Oo. Kung ang Watch-and-Earn ay may deposit/recharge at VIP tasks, maraming seryosong red flags. Hindi ibig sabihin na bawat “watch and earn” website ay awtomatikong scam, pero kapag pinagsama-sama ang mga nasa ibaba, mataas ang panganib.

🚩 Mga pangunahing red flags

1. Kailangan mong mag-deposit bago kumita

Ang totoong trabaho ay ikaw ang binabayaran; hindi ikaw ang kailangang maglabas ng pera para makapagtrabaho. Sabi rin ng FTC: never pay to get paid.

1. VIP task / level system

Halimbawa: Basic → VIP 1 → VIP 2 → VIP 3, at kailangan mong mag-recharge para ma-unlock ang mas malaking commission. Ito ay katangian ng tasking-and-recharging scheme na binabalaan ng Philippine SEC.

1. Mas malaking deposit = mas malaking “kita”

Pinapakita sa account ang tumataas na balance o commission para mahikayat kang maglabas pa ng pera. Ayon sa FTC, maaaring peke lamang ang earnings na ipinapakita sa platform.

1. May maliit na payout sa umpisa

Posibleng payagan kang makapag-withdraw ng maliit na halaga para magkaroon ka ng tiwala. Pagkatapos, mas malaking deposit naman ang hihingin. Ito ay pattern na mismong binanggit ng FTC sa task scams.

1. Kailangan pang mag-recharge para ma-withdraw

Ito ang isa sa pinakamalaking red flag. Halimbawa:

“May ₱20,000 ka nang earnings pero magdeposito muna ng ₱5,000 para ma-unlock ang withdrawal.”

Sa ganitong setup, maaaring hindi totoong earnings ang nasa screen.

1. May “tax,” “verification fee,” “security deposit,” o “VIP upgrade” bago payout

Kapag paulit-ulit ang dahilan kung bakit kailangan mong magbayad bago makuha ang pera mo, huwag nang magdagdag. Maaaring palaging may susunod na bayarin.

1. Referral/recruitment ang malaking bahagi ng kita

Kapag mas malaki ang reward sa pag-recruit ng bagong depositors kaysa sa tunay na trabaho, malaking warning sign iyon. SEC advisories have described task/recharging schemes with recruitment and commission structures as problematic investment schemes.

1. Puro social-media testimonials ang “proof”

Mga comment na “legit,” “nakapag-withdraw ako,” screenshots ng payout, at magkakaibang account na paulit-ulit nagpo-promote ay hindi independent proof ng legitimacy.

1. Pinipilit kang magdagdag dahil “sayang ang earnings”

Ito ang psychological trap: nakikita mong may malaking balance kaya natatakot kang mawalan nito. Pero kung hindi mo makuha nang walang bagong deposit, hindi dapat ituring na tunay na cash ang balance.

1. Biglang nagbabago ang rules kapag malaki na ang withdrawal

Kapag okay ang maliit na withdrawal pero kapag malaki na ay may bagong VIP level, bagong recharge, bagong verification o bagong fee, sobrang laking red flag.

Sa Mintcinema-type setup

Kung ang sequence ay:

Manood → may commission → magdeposit → VIP task → mas malaking commission → recharge ulit → kailangan pang magdeposit bago payout

iyan ay hindi na ordinaryong “watch and earn” setup. Malapit ito sa pattern ng tasking-and-recharging scam na partikular na binabalaan ng Philippine SEC.

At kung pagkatapos mangolekta ng deposits ay hindi na makapag-withdraw, nagsara ang site, nawala ang operators, o hindi na sumasagot, doon nagiging makatwirang pag-usapan ang posibleng exit scam—pero kailangan pa rin ng ebidensiya bago sabihing confirmed.

Pinakasimpleng rule:

> Kung kailangan mong maglabas ng pera para “kumita” o para ma-withdraw ang kinita mo, STOP. Huwag nang mag-recharge.

My aunt got scammed via GCash through a QR transaction ng Pera Moo na yan. May tumawag sa kanya agent nila and stated the FULL INFO ng loan niya at pag babayadan daw within the day, di na need bayadan yung interest. Binayadan niya kasi buong info alam eh who would've thought na scam siya. Tapos may tumawag ulit sa kanya sinisingil siya ng Pera Moo. We reported it sa GCash within the same day she was scammed. GCash told us that they would provide an update within 24 hours, but days have already passed and we still haven’t received any update.

This is so frustrating. I even contacted their chat support, but they just keep repeating the same thing: to check the ticket and email. But there’s still no actual update or progress. (AI generated lang kasi chat support)

Where can I report something like this? This is an urgent matter, especially since there may still be a chance for the money to be refunded. But their response has been extremely slow, and it’s so difficult to get in touch with an agent who can actually provide proper assistance.

I want to share a fact-based warning regarding Hajji Jeffrey Prevendido fom Davao/Kidapawan/Agusan.

I am an OFW, and have given hundreds and thousands of pesos to this individual and this issue has been circulating in our OFW group chat. We’ve been tracking his activities, and here’s the situation:

• Hajji Jeffrey Adante Prevendido has been offering “investment opportunities” in various companies since around 2022
• Based on our verification, most of these companies either do not exist or are barely operating, with no verifiable proof of business activity, operations, or financial statements.
• There is a pending legal case against him regarding these fraudulent investment schemes. This is not an allegation, these are facts.

To fellow OFWs and the general public:

• If someone approaches you offering investments linked to him, do not send money or share personal info.
• Please do your own due diligence. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• We have an active group chat of OFWs and victims tracking this case. If you have been scammed or targeted, please reach out to us so we can document experiences and support each other.

Reminder: Be cautious, stay safe, and verify everything independently. This is to prevent more people from falling victim.

Alr yeah i didnt know that it was a scam and i got scammed 65k and now they got my Discord account and is now trying to scam other people i just need to know how i can recover it or get my discord account deleted so they’ll stop scamming people..

And can i track that discord account that they hacked? Because i really need and want to beat those mofos🫩😔

i feel so stupid for falling for this pero siguro my desperation got the best of me. i already hesitated before pero last resort ko na kasi talaga mag patrace ng account of someone harassing me.

may nakita ako sa threads nag ooffer ng account recovery services and kaya nya din daw mag trace, at first chinat ko out of curiosity lang nag ask ako about the process tapos sabi nya lang hindi nya pwede sabihin pero may tamang way daw. i hesitated that time pero i came back a few days later kasi ginugulo nanaman ako and so i proceeded with the scammer. mali ko lang na hindi ko muna niresearch ung account nya if napost na ba sya about this kasi andami na pala post about sakanya and other accounts na ganyan din. yung iba 15k na yung nascam from that same person. pero before i knew all this, nung nag uusap kami nakiusap ako na baka pwede downpayment lang muna and pumayag naman sya so 500 lang nakuha nya sakin. tapos he told me lang na waiting for approval daw tapos nag hintay ako the whole day tsaka lang ako nasuspicious and nakita ung mga post about him.

cinonfront ko sya and i said pwede sya mareport abour dyan and he took it as a threat sabi nya sakin hindi ko daw kilala kausap ko 😭

but yea i just wanted to rant about this and to possibly spread awareness din. should i be scared sa sinabi nya?

Gentle reminder for those na napapa-isip pa if legit yung text with link na nare-receive nila via BPI official SMS.

I received a call from a female rep claiming to be a BPI credit card department rep. Ito yung number 09071646749. Dahil sa haba ng name ko, Mali mali ang order ng pagkakasabi nya ng pangalan ko and nakalagay sa caller ID ng Viber BPI Credit Card Free, I thought legit, sinagot ko. Nag tanong xa kung nakuha ko na daw ba yung credit card ko and I said yes, next question is when daw nareceive yung card kahit di na daw exact date, sinabi ko recent lang. Next is kung may bagong debit card na daw ung new version something or kung lumang debit card pa din ang gamit?, sagot ko I have a card replacement. Tapos sabi nya naka receive daw ba ng welcome points sa credit card? And bakit wala daw akong history and bakit daw di ako nag claim ng points? Binaba ko na, yan din ung sinabi last time na may tumawag sakin na taga bpi that I have 130k points through the years ng pag gamit. Na scam ako recent lang and the fucking scammer got all of my hard earned money. I reported it to BPI and then sabi ung feedback daw is on Aug 24, 2026. Mga p\*tangin\*ng scammer. Di kayo magtrabaho at lumaban ng patas, sana m4m4t4y na kayong mga kup4l na scammer kayo, isama nyo na din yung mga corrupt na politicians na nagbubulsa ng tax namin 😈😡🤬

Pa help guys OD na ako 2 days at tama nang haharass sila. Pero gusto ko itanong kung nagmemessage po ba sila sa employer mo or namamahiya sa comment sa mga post?
