Buyer Protection (Anti-Scam) Philippines

That's a good idea. Sa dami ng manloloko na ginagamit ang online ads (bogus buyer/sellers) as their new spot of getting victims.

may isang local ad site akong naencounter na ganun. di lang nga masyadong sikat.

hmmm. if sulit does that they might start charging a fee both for the seller and the buyer.

I still think the best way for a safe and secured transaction is to use diligence and by being extra careful.
kaya lang kung maloloko ka talaga sabi nga nila maloloko ka.

 

But on the other hand...

if you carefully look at most number of scams in the recent days - they all pertain to almost the same circumstances:

• kaka registered lang nung seller sa sulit - minsan days pa lang.
• mababa ang price nya
• nagbebenta sya ng mga highend na gadgets tapos declared nya na location nya is malayo like Lobo, batangas, boac, marindduque, palawan, ormoc, etc....

I think what's best for sulit to do instead is - fortify nila yun campaign or yun awareness ng mga lurkers or even long time members about scam.

 

Come to think of it, and the sulit admin might not like me for saying it,

but isn't it almost everyday may na sscam - then may gagawa ng thread na na-scam sya then mag mag comment lang ang sulit na

"please see this link (about scam)."

 

I'm sure sulit admin is aware of this and they might be thinking about ways to prevent scam

but i think at the present rate the scammers are thriving - it should be soon, very soon.

 

One serious and immediate way is to put more awareness sa mga buyers- na hindi na kailangan na matagal pang panahon para ma implement and it can be done very soon;

maybe sa page mismo nung ads or s ahomepage ng sulit mismo they could put up notice or warnings like:

"Beware of scammers"

 

I know this doesn't sit well sa mindset ng isang online site dahil nakakasira din ng reputation at overall look or impression but

we cannot also deny the fact that there are people being scammed almost everyday.

 

I hope sulit will really consider this thought - very soon.

 

Remember the cigarette packing here and how this government took ages before they finally implemented the warning on the label? 'Took them more than five decades to put a "three-line phrase" on a mere 1inch x 2 inches on the packing!

i dont mind paying a premium for buyer protection. i am one of the sellers at multiply with trusted seller badges.i get more sales because of this too. so kung serious seller ka, paying a premium siguro is not a big deal, after all you want to guarantee your legitimacy as a seller and you want to attract more buyers as well.

siguro dapat gayahin ni sulit si multiply. after all, sister companies sila diba?

May nagsuggest sakin from Korea ng program na tnatawag na Escro. Yun daw gamit sa kanila. ayun.. nascam kasi ung boyfriend ko dito.. hanggang ngayon di pa din sinasagot ung tawag. aun..

ok lang na may charge ang sulit sa seller at buyer basta ba sure yung transactions.

agree kung gagawin ng sulit ito lalakas lalo sila 

Well, in that case, those who want to be charged be charged

and those who do now want to - not be charged.

 

Anyway, it's just my opinion na kahit saan paraan makakaisip yun scammer na makagawa pa din ng scam.

Maybe less nga lang.

But, maybe less din ang chance para sa mga true buyer na bumili  kung may certain fees sila pay.

 

 

Sana lang, wala nang scammer sa mundo....Sana nga merong feature ang sulit para secured palagi ang mga transactions ng mga sellers & Buyers. Sana nga rin mas mahigpit pa ang pag iwan ng feedbacks, yung itrack ng system kung may transactions ba talaga between the accounts. 

Na scam kasi ako last month lang, 14K ang natangay sa akin.... 

 

Let us all hope for the best! 

alam mo kasi mga legit or honest buyer and seller. ang pinagbabatayan ng mga buyer ay yung feedback ng isang seller , kaya lang dahil sa mga manlolokong seller, gumagawa sila ng maraming account then sila mismo nag fefeedback sa sarili nilang account. , sana sa pamunuan ng sulit.com.ph /admin, sana yung bagong sign up at nag post agad ng feedback. sana required sana na maglagay ng proof of payment or proof na may transaction na naganap at kung bagong sign up, dapat maglagay ng contack number at address.. ....kagaya yung katunggali ko , pagka may nag positive feedback sa ads ko, ayaw nya magpatalo. maglalagay din sya ng positive feedback sa ads nya, kaya lang gawa gawa nya( newly sign up ,newly post positive feedback.)....ngayon dahil sa sobrang inggit. dinungisan nya yung positive feedback ko, twice na naglagay sya ng negative feedback, buti na lang napa dispute ko. ngayon dahil sa marami silang account ,nag pm ako kay admin at complete evidence. until now nag aantay pa rin ako ng result.

hahahaha. natawa ako dito.

matindi ba sir yun rival mu? hahaha ayaw ba patalo?

 

Offtopic:

hindi ka ba nagpapa terms? hahahaha. may carwash yun kapatid ko sa may Lagro.

baka sakali lang bumigay na yun ibang gamit.

katunayan bibili ako vacuum bukas sa AEG sa may Edsa Cubao.

Ala na kasi time mag auction sa HMR para makabili ng mga murang vacuum sana.

 

 

i think the best buyer protection is information dissemination. Even sites like Ebay eh marami biktima na. kahit may percentage sila kada sale or may qualified seller churva pa. just look at craiglist now, simple lang pero umaangat. pero ang laki ng note nila sa buyers and sellers. information like this must be free for all and let the people choose wisely for themselves too. ilan ba ang ratio ng scams sa successful sales? out of 10 transactions, 3:10?
