SCAMMER ALERT! - Techshoppp on FB Philippines

Karamihan kasi ganyan ang case, parehong modus ang ginagamit.Ingat nalang po next time, kasi tulad ng lagi namang paalala lalo na sa mga bagong member na mag-ingat sa mga scammer. Wag basta basta magpapadala sa murang halaga tapos shipping mode, malamang scam yung ganun.Sana po mabawi nyo ang pera nyo. ingat po uli next time.

Gosh.. Nagkalat na talaga scammer ngayon. I already been scammed before, pero di naman ganyan kalaking halaga. I even able to get my money back since baguhan ata yung scammer and I was able to trace all of his accounts online. It is easy to get gcash account nowadays, it is useless filing reports, I'm sure the very moment na sinabi nung seller na isesend na niya yung parcel, winiwithdraw na niya yung pera somewhere na hindi naman tumatanggap ng ID for transactions.

 

Lesson learned from experience na nga lang :( Hindi lang talaga ako nagisip that time sa sobrang excitement dun sa item. Sana wala na siyang malokong iba.

Ganun na nga, sis. Grabe hindi ko akalain haha! First time ko mascam. Ngayon nangangapa ako kung paano ko babalikan yung scammer. 

Hi,

Firstly, sorry that you have been scammed.

Reading your story only suggests that people are still vulnerable to scam and being scammed.

Beacuse, here is a case that shows a person is aware and wary about scam and yet was still scammed nonetheless.

So, I guess this answers the question as to why scam still presists uninhibitedly up to this point in time.

 

You mentioned:

Lalaine Joy L. Sacramento
B6 L8 Insular Village
Lanang Davao.
Ang number daw 09265668189.

 

I am not that sure but I have a feeling these are fake info, names and details.

Since I believe that GCASH only needs a cellfone to withraw the money (right?)

The next day, I called Globe to report what happened. They said they will be able to freeze her GCASH. I know that there is nothing Globe can do in helping you out retrieving the money. But that's the best thing I can do so far - to avoid any transactions from that phone. I was still hoping that she wasn't able to cash it out. Now I am obliged to file a formal complaint. Sobrang hassle nito.

Have you found out yet if the money has been withdrawn? Because in a scam like this timeframe is very important for a scammer which in most likely posssibility - the money had been withrawn a few moments after you've deposited it because this is what the scammer is after - the money.

The facebook is still active. However, the day after the transaction, she (had to) blocked me.
She's the same person on the picture. Different name.
Here are the details of my scammer:
Facebook ID: http://www.facebook.com/techshoppp
Name: Lalaine Joy L. Sacramento
Address: B6 L8 Insular Village, Lanang Davao del Norte
Numbers used: 09352421473 / 09265668189

I am not also keen that it is her in this FB account since most scammers only use posed / faked accounts where they grab people's pictures and details and they use these as their own to hide their true identity.

I never told my friends nor family about this because I feel so ashamed that I was conned. And I really want to get back on this culprit. If you were also scammed by this person, let me know. I'm coming up with a plan to deal with this person (again). The more people, the stronger the complaint. Cheers :)

 

I understand and can only sympathize with you. And I hope you could really get on top of this thing.

I also would like to request you if that is okay with you

to visit our thread topic created solely to raise awareness for buyers against possible scam and to at least try to help prevent scam form happening.

Maybe you can share your own story and experience in there and perhaps make suggestion and recommendations as well.

http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+topic/id/95645/Scam+Again!

 

I am sorry again for what happened.

But if you can help others to prevent what has just happened to you

then I guess your loss could be someone's gain in the true meaning of the word sacrifice.

 

God bless you on this yet another rainy Monday

but rain does sometimes help to ease a person's suffering.

 

So, cheer up and smile. There is more to life than being bitter over an unfortuante event.

 

Be well.

 

When I reported it to Globe, the consultant just told me that they have no means of retrieving or disclosing any activities that happened on that particular number and also told me to file a formal complaint against that person by visiting Globe business center. I was like what's the sense of filing formal complaint for if all they can do is just simply put a block on scammer's GCASH? I know it's soley my fault but I called to ask help from them. Lumalabas ako yung tumutulong to report scammers para pagkatiwalaan Globe. At wala akong help in return. Well, I'm just thankful na hindi ako yung nanloko. And at least my money was lost not because I am paying a hospital bill. Thanks anyway :) I just really need to talk to someone. Nakakapanghina eh.

Hard- earned money yon kaya nakakapanghina talaga lalo at iisipin mong nawala nalang basta. Isipin mo nalang nakatulong ka, alam kong hindi madali pero sa ganung paraan mababawasan yung pag-aalala mo, hindi ko alam kung gagana sayo pero sa akin kasi gaumagana naman. Dito lang naman ang sulit family mo para hingahan ng sama ng loob mo, bawal lang ang mura kasi baka masuspend ka hehe.Ingat po next time.

Welcome po pala sa sulit.

I did try to find more details based sa info's na pinost mo. I just recently joined an FB group regarding scam alerts. It was your first, hopefully it will be the last. Target talaga ng mga ganyang scammer yung mga baguhan sa online transactions.

Madami talagang dapat tandaan when dealing with online sellers. Pero since tapos na at nangyari na. Just nalang to be Very Very careful next time. Di lang kasi mga scammer seller ang nagkalat, pati mga bogus buyer narin. Kaya hirap na mag-online business.

Haha! Thank you! Ganun na nga po. Pero minsan pag sumagi sa isip ko, bigla nalang akong napapa 'sana binili ko nalang ng ganto, sana binigay ko nalang sa magulang ko, sana pinang donate ko nalang' mga tipong ganun. Baka mas kailangan nga niya yung pera. Pang pagamot pag sinaksak ko siya pag nagkita kami haha! Joke :)

I'm not closing my doors to online shopping naman since I am an online seller as well. I think that e-commerce is great! Nababahiran lang ng mga walang pusong scammers :) I just have to be very careful next time. Tama ka. Ang tanga tanga ko kasi haha! Shit. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko :p

I just had an update regarding my case. I called Globe a while ago. I spoke with Yuri. They said that the suspension on the scammer's number is still inplace. I asked if the 10K is still there and he said yes! There were no activities of cashing out except for the unsuccessful attempt of transferring the funds from that number to another. And there'll be 100% chance of retrieving my money back in 14 days! 

So to all online shoppers, my advice is that whenever you feel something wrong, hesitant, or even just a single doubt, trust your intuitions! Back out as long as you still have time! And don't be too impulsive like me. I will still update this forum in regard to what happened. And of course, I want to teach this culprit a lesson. I just don't know how (yet) HAHA!

yan po isang scammer din, matagal ko ng sinusubaybayan yan, di basta mag add yan ng ibang tao kundi yung mga buyer daw nya kuno.

hays naku, kaya nasisira ang mga legit seller eh! :(

Kahit saang networking site, naglipana na ang mga scammers.

Grabe nga. Hindi ko alam kung paano nila naaatim manloko ng iba. Naiisip ko tuloy yung mga nagbebenta ng kung ano ano sa kalye. At least marangal sila. Dati hindi ko naaappreciate yung ganun. Ngayon alam ko na kung gaano kadaming halang ang bituka. Lesson learned na talaga :) Ingat tayo guys!

tama... 

Hello. Just want to ask kung nabawi mo yung pera mo? Nascam din kasi ako pero BDO, mejo wala akong pag-asa na mababawi ko pa yung 7.5k na binayad ko sa scammer din. pero nabasa ko yung sinabi mo na pwede mo pa maretrieve ang money.. Baka pwede ko pa rin kais maretrieve yung money ko sa BDO if ever.

May isang case sa symb,na natrace yung real gcash account nung scam artist.. Nag-file sila ng report nun sa globe, then yung ginamit ng gcash account(dummy),natrace nila activity nun at kung saang gcash account ntransfer yung money. Although hindi na ata nabawi yung pera,atleast nalaman yung totoong identity nung scammer..

Mas madali yung sa BDO tyak...

IMpossible na pong mabawi yung pera:| Ang magandang gawin na lang,alamin yung real identity,tapos ipabugbog natin.. LOL!
Ang dami talagang nagkalat na hinayupak ngayon :\ x100 na pag-iingat na lang po kasulit

dami pa rin talaga nabibiktima. parang lumalaki pa ang amounts

scammers all over sulit.. mag ingat kayo guys..

dun sa isang thread, nahuli at na trace nya yung scammer.

thanks for the information. i know how you feel.

been to davao, alam ko yung insular village na yan, medyo mayayaman or may mga kaya ang nakatira diyan. even one of my dormmates dati, confirmed nila na may kaya mga tao dun.

second, pag sobrang baba talaga price ng gadget, magduda ka na. hot gadgets are the usual here. kaya dapat sobrang ingat talaga.

At least na educate tayo about sa experience kaya wag talaga magmadali sa pagbili ng items..
