00:00Next item!
00:01The receipts that were collected this afternoon!
00:04Christmas is just around the corner,
00:06and Aguinaldo's mind is already set for our beloved ones!
00:12Are you on the wish list?
00:14The cute and cuddly little creatures that are in vogue now, but...
00:20are a little painful in the pocket?
00:22But what if you can only buy them at a low price?
00:26Where there are a lot of deceivers,
00:28not far away, there are also temporary ones around.
00:36What if your dream Labubo suddenly became...
00:40Malabu!
00:42Labubo!
00:44What if your dream Labubo suddenly became...
00:47Malabu!
00:49What if your dream Labubo suddenly became...
00:51Malabu!
00:52La?
00:53Labudol na?
00:54La?
00:55Loko pa?
01:02What if in the middle of your online Christmas gift shopping
01:06for family, friends, or yourself,
01:09suddenly someone sends a PM and...
01:12asks for something that...
01:14you can only get by hand?
01:16This is not the seller.
01:18And...
01:19moreover, it's not a minor.
01:21This is a scammer.
01:23He goes around the lives of an online seller.
01:25He watches who is mining,
01:27and directly sends a message to the customer,
01:30so that they can be fooled,
01:32and send the payment to their account number.
01:35Oh no!
01:36You better watch out,
01:37and you really might cry,
01:39because the scammer is watching this live with you.
01:45No matter what kind of complaints you receive,
01:47we will find a solution for every problem.
01:50This is your new show,
01:52that will not let you go astray.
01:55Here, the scammer is not safe,
01:57and moreover, the buyer is not lucky.
02:00Because of all of this,
02:01we will look for...
02:02a r-r-receiver.
02:03I am Emil Zubangil.
02:07In the middle of a live of an online seller,
02:10there's a massive copycat with bad intentions.
02:14He copied the Facebook business page,
02:16and the seller's personal account,
02:18and even used his name and profile pic.
02:22While the real seller is selling,
02:24the scammer is busy with the...
02:26miners.
02:31On November 26,
02:32the online seller, Charmaine,
02:35went live to sell the imported clothes,
02:37that she bought in Thailand.
02:38Let's go to the next item.
02:40For only P3.99 is small to XL,
02:43these are cotton.
02:46But in the middle of her non-stop shopping,
02:48she noticed the comments...
02:51of her followers.
02:53Some of us noticed,
02:54and commented,
02:56are you going to pay now?
02:58Or are you going to down payment now,
03:00so you can mine?
03:01I answered,
03:02of course not,
03:03because all of our miners,
03:05will pay after the live.
03:08Charmaine finished her shopping that day.
03:12After a whole day of sales talk,
03:14she found out,
03:16more than half of her hard-earned money that day,
03:19didn't go into her account.
03:22What happened is,
03:23the scammer is watching while I'm live,
03:26he's waiting for the miners,
03:29so they can pay,
03:31and send the payment to their account number.
03:34She also found out the account used by the scammer,
03:37is the same as the official account of her online store.
03:42Because they copied my followers,
03:45they're so smart,
03:47they took our store's identity,
03:51so they can scam others.
03:53This in front of me now,
03:55are two accounts of an online shop.
03:57If you notice,
03:59there's almost no difference,
04:01but it's considered a fake account.
04:03Here's the legit,
04:05or the real account.
04:07As you can see,
04:08it has 14k or 14,000 likes.
04:12It also has 20k or 20,000 followers.
04:17Meanwhile,
04:18in this account,
04:19there's also the same information,
04:22but what's different in this account,
04:25it's just typed,
04:27and when you click,
04:28there's no followers or friends.
04:31November 26 of this year,
04:33Charmaine went live on her online store.
04:36Let's go to the next item.
04:38But in the middle of her non-stop activities,
04:41she was so annoyed when she noticed the comments of her followers.
04:45There are people who noticed that we're commenting,
04:48are we going to pay now?
04:50She found out,
04:51more than half of her hard-earned money that day,
04:55didn't go to her account.
04:57The scammer is watching,
04:59while I'm live,
05:00he's waiting for the miners
05:03so that they'll be able to pay and send the payment to their account number.
05:08According to Charmaine's estimate,
05:10she was fined less than 50,000 pesos
05:14by an unidentified scammer.
05:16Charmaine has been a live seller for 6 years.
05:19This is the biggest trial she's ever experienced.
05:23Since I started live selling,
05:25he really changed my life.
05:27I also experienced being an OFW for 6 years.
05:31I didn't get that savings.
05:34In being an OFW,
05:35you'll work hard for a good collection that you'll release.
05:40Then, you're so tired that you'll arrange stocks.
05:44I'll make a video,
05:45you'll smile even if you're really tired.
05:47Because of what happened,
05:48Charmaine's business is now affected.
05:50We went bankrupt before November 26.
05:54We went bankrupt before November 26.
05:56We lost almost half of what we had.
05:58Every live selling,
06:00we lost our gross of 100,000 pesos,
06:03115,000 pesos,
06:05and the biggest was 130,000 pesos.
06:07After that scam,
06:09our gross became 50,000 pesos.
06:13It was really hard for me to go live
06:14because I didn't know what to expect.
06:19These are the miners.
06:21We expected more,
06:25especially because Christmas is coming.
06:28Now, it's a bit dull
06:31because there's a scammer with us.
06:40Ma'am, what happened?
06:41Please tell us.
06:42When I watched his live,
06:45I mined.
06:47When I mined,
06:49someone messaged me
06:51with a message request.
06:53What I saw there was Ma'am Charmaine's name
06:55so I clicked on it.
06:57Then I saw the form
06:59that I had to fill up.
07:01I asked,
07:02is this you, ma'am?
07:03Are you one of Ma'am Charmaine?
07:05This is what I sent,
07:07this is what I paid.
07:08Then she said,
07:09yes, ma'am.
07:10Because Ma'am Charmaine's account was full.
07:13So I believed right away.
07:15Maricel was shocked
07:17because after paying P900,
07:19not a single parcel arrived to her.
07:22What pushed you to continue paying?
07:24It just came to my mind.
07:26I said,
07:27what's happening?
07:28Why did it just come to my mind?
07:30I really don't know.
07:32How did you feel afterwards?
07:34I was nervous because of the money.
07:36Even if it's just a small amount,
07:37it's a big deal for me.
07:39Because of what happened,
07:40Charmaine called her followers.
07:42So there,
07:43it's pinned there.
07:44That's where you'll pay.
07:45In our account number.
07:47We don't use any other account.
07:50That's how they invoice.
07:52They have that format.
07:54Our format is not like that.
07:56In our invoices,
07:57be careful with those scammers.
08:00December 10,
08:01together with the receipt,
08:03Charmaine went to the National Bureau of Investigation
08:06for a formal complaint.
08:09Through the details of the electronic wallet
08:11given by the scammer,
08:13the operatives will find out
08:15who's behind Charmaine's money laundering.
08:18The most important thing is public awareness.
08:21They're taking advantage of this season
08:24when our economy is booming.
08:30Scammers may face charges
08:32related to the Republic Act 10175
08:35or the Anti-Cybercrime Act of 2012,
08:38like Computer-Related Identity Theft,
08:40Fraud, and Estafa.
08:41They may also face charges related to the RA-12010
08:45or the Anti-Financial Accounts Scamming Act.
08:48They may face up to 6 to 4 years in prison
08:51for these cases if proven guilty.
08:54No suspects or leads for now.
08:56Charmaine is more confident
08:58that she's back to her search for life.
09:00I feel like I'm breathing again
09:02because I've already started a step
09:05to catch the victims of my customers
09:10and to clear the name of my business.
09:14According to Scamwatch Philippines,
09:16a cybersecurity movement
09:18known by the Department of Information and Communications,
09:21Technology, or DICT,
09:23needs to be more careful
09:25especially now that Christmas is coming.
09:27There are more scammers
09:30during Christmas.
09:31That's why we should be careful
09:33because Christmas is coming.
09:34People have a lot of money during Christmas.
09:36A lot of people are asking for deliveries.
09:38A lot of people want to buy gifts.
09:40There are also 12 Scams of Christmas
09:44that should be monitored.
09:47Based on the list released by DICT,
09:5012 Scams of Christmas include
09:52Fake Online Charities
09:53or those who claim to be asking for help
09:55for a misguided purpose.
09:57Phishing Link
09:58that is sent via text or email.
10:00Fake Deliveries.
10:01Fake Tech Support.
10:03Fake Relatives or Relatives.
10:05Scammers who claim to be relatives.
10:07Online Shopping Scams.
10:08Love Scams.
10:10Fake Job Offers.
10:11Scammers who claim to be asking for help online.
10:14Scammers who are afraid of the law.
10:17and
10:18Fake Offers or Commercials
10:20that have too good to be true offers.
10:24Now that Christmas is coming,
10:25it's time to give.
10:27We should also remember
10:28that for some,
10:29this is also a time to take risks.
10:31So if you become a victim,
10:33there are government agencies
10:35who can take any risk
10:37no matter how important it is.
10:43Sharp ears,
10:45sharp teeth,
10:46sharp smile,
10:48and good looks.
10:49Who can't be cute
10:52in the eyes of Labubu Dolls?
10:54But be careful
10:55because there is an online seller of Labubu
10:58whose name is Labogus.
11:06Look for a Christmas Giveaway
11:08that can display
11:09Christmas Anik-Anik
11:10for your loved ones
11:11and the young at heart.
11:13Very cutesy,
11:14very fluffy,
11:15with twinkling and flashy eyes
11:17that can be exchanged
11:18for a new one.
11:21In the popularity of these toys,
11:23many Filipinos are calling
11:25to include this in their personal collection
11:27or
11:28as a bug charm
11:29and
11:30Anik-Anik
11:31like Jetta,
11:32a toy collector from Quezon City.
11:34In February this year,
11:36she decided to include
11:37the Labubu Dolls
11:38in her collection.
11:41Now,
11:42there are more than 50 pieces
11:43of her Labubu Dolls
11:45and
11:46because there are so many in demand,
11:4925-year-old Sandra decided
11:52to be the reseller of Labubu Dolls.
11:55I joined the group
11:57and asked questions
11:58and commented.
12:05And then someone chatted to me
12:07that I have a Labubu Doll on hand
12:09and you might like it.
12:10Sandra was happy
12:11when someone introduced her
12:12to Alias Diones,
12:13who is a Labubu seller.
12:15She didn't hesitate
12:17because this person
12:18is very professional.
12:20She's very polite, ma'am.
12:21She's good at speaking
12:23as in professional.
12:24Don't worry,
12:25I'm legit.
12:26I won't ruin my name.
12:29And she was even more impressed
12:30when she made
12:31a video call
12:33to her,
12:34the demonized seller.
12:35She was in a video call
12:36so I saw that
12:37she's a legit person.
12:40After the convincing
12:41made by the seller
12:42with limited collections
12:44and a low price
12:45she offered,
12:46Sandra decided
12:47to send money.
12:52Because of the order,
12:53I still need 500 pesos.
12:55So I sent again.
12:57But when Sandra was able
12:58to send
12:59the total payment
13:00of 18,000 pesos,
13:02Labubu's seller
13:03became the talk of the town.
13:07She has a lot of alibis
13:08like,
13:09Hey, my girlfriend
13:10fought with me.
13:11She's kicking me out.
13:12Her uncle is going
13:13to beat me up.
13:17That's when I got angry
13:18and said,
13:19Be quiet,
13:20Labubu hasn't come
13:21to me yet.
13:22Then she threatened me
13:23that she might post me
13:24because I might
13:25scam her.
13:27I'm the one
13:28who looks like a scammer.
13:30The scam of the seller
13:31wasn't over yet
13:32because she asked
13:33for an additional payment.
13:35She asked for it.
13:36I said,
13:37Okay.
13:38She owed me again.
13:39So I gave her
13:40another 700 pesos.
13:44As soon as Sandra
13:45sent a new payment
13:46to the seller,
13:49Nothing came, ma'am.
13:51It was just a hope.
13:52That's what she did to me.
13:55But happiness
13:56became sadness
13:58for Sandra.
13:59Actually,
14:00nothing came.
14:01That's what she told me.
14:03Why?
14:04I said,
14:05I paid for it.
14:06Why didn't anything come?
14:07The much-awaited
14:08Labubu dolls
14:09of Sandra
14:10didn't come.
14:12I was tired.
14:14I was stressed
14:15because I was
14:16still in the postpartum stage.
14:18I couldn't sleep
14:19because of stress.
14:20I was expecting
14:21a Labubu doll.
14:23Just like Sandra
14:24who wanted
14:25a Labubu doll
14:28Jeddah's collector
14:29was also posted
14:30and searched
14:31on Facebook
14:32at the end of this year.
14:34I was looking for
14:35the cheapest one
14:36because it's more expensive
14:37when it's already on hand.
14:39To be honest,
14:40the price is different.
14:41Three different resellers
14:43immediately contacted
14:44Jeddah Online.
14:45Wait,
14:46there are some that I didn't collect.
14:47Oh,
14:48it's no longer online
14:50in the shop.
14:52So that's when
14:53I started looking.
14:55Jeddah was even more excited
14:56when the sellers confirmed
14:57that their Labubu items
14:58are available.
15:00For two months,
15:01he was replying.
15:02So I said,
15:03I'll buy it.
15:04It's like you're being persuaded.
15:07Instead of replying,
15:08he said,
15:09it's too expensive.
15:10God bless the others.
15:11Of course,
15:12it's true.
15:14Because
15:15Jeddah was so eager
15:16to have Labubu dolls,
15:18he immediately sent
15:19a payment of
15:20Php 120,000.
15:23It was a simultaneous transaction.
15:24It's just different people.
15:26A few days later,
15:27Labubu sellers
15:28didn't arrive yet.
15:29Jeddah's sellers
15:30were still asking
15:31for additional payment.
15:33Because it's just a
15:34total down payment.
15:35So it's light.
15:36You're just down
15:37with this and that.
15:3810%,
15:39just down.
15:40What Jeddah expected
15:41to unbox in August,
15:43was suddenly
15:44undelivered.
15:46So all of them,
15:47I was expecting
15:48by August,
15:49they would arrive.
15:50When Jeddah tried
15:51to get back
15:52his chats
15:53from the sellers,
15:54he was blocked
15:55by them.
15:56Wait,
15:57why did he message me?
15:58It's gone.
15:59That's why
16:00he messaged me.
16:01It's anonymous.
16:02I'm blocked.
16:03What happened
16:04to Jeddah
16:05was serious.
16:06Because
16:07he was expecting
16:08Labubu dolls.
16:09That one hundred,
16:10that one item,
16:11those are four
16:12rare items.
16:13So it's gone.
16:14So what happened
16:15to Jeddah's lesson
16:16learned?
16:17If it's gone
16:18from my hands,
16:19I can't do anything.
16:20All I gotta do
16:21is just to move forward,
16:22set this up
16:23as a learning lesson,
16:24that you should be
16:25careful,
16:26check it carefully.
16:28Even if Glyn
16:29and Jeddah
16:30didn't do anything
16:31to the pecking
16:32Labubu sellers
16:33who deceived her,
16:34Sandra
16:35did an investigation
16:36and
16:37here she discovered
16:38that the Labubu sellers
16:39who introduced her
16:40as Alias Jonas
16:41is not
16:42her real name.
16:44I found the
16:45real owner
16:46of the account.
16:48She stole
16:49the identity
16:50of the innocent
16:51Alias Jonas.
16:52She also saw
16:53a Facebook post
16:54in a restaurant
16:55where Alias Jonas
16:56was ordering food.
16:57There was a restaurant
16:58where the scammer
16:59ordered food.
17:01And then
17:02in that restaurant
17:03I saw
17:04his comment.
17:05I hacked it.
17:07December 3,
17:082024
17:09with the receipt.
17:11Sandra went
17:12to the barangay
17:13of the given address.
17:22I would like to
17:23complain
17:24about
17:25******.
17:27To confirm
17:28if the man
17:29who introduced
17:30Jonas really lives there,
17:31Sandra was shown
17:32a picture.
17:34******.
17:35I don't know him.
17:40With the receipt,
17:41the barangay task force
17:42went to
17:43the barangay
17:44of Alias Jonas.
17:47When the receipt went
17:48to the house
17:49that introduced
17:50the scammer,
17:51her uncle
17:52was the one
17:53who confronted
17:54the barangay task force.
18:07That's why
18:08because
18:09Sandra got
18:10the money
18:11she decided
18:12to file a case
18:13and brought the receipt
18:14to the Philippine National Police
18:16Anti-Cybercrime Group

18:18to punish
18:19the scammers
18:20that Sandra
18:21and Jetta
18:22experienced.
18:23What are the signs
18:25that your transaction
18:26online
18:28is a scammer?
18:29They call it
18:30a red flag
18:31so that our countrymen
18:32would know.
18:33We call these
18:34red flags.
18:35First,
18:36if we see
18:37these posts
18:38that are too good
18:39to be true offers.
18:40In other words,
18:41what they're saying
18:42is that the offer
18:43they're giving
18:44is lower
18:45and better.
18:46If it's proven
18:47that Alias Jonas
18:48is involved
18:49in a crime
18:50in Republic Act
18:5110175.
18:53What will happen
18:54there is
18:55violation
18:56under Article 315
18:57of the revised
18:58penal code
18:59in relation to
19:00Section 6 of
19:01R.A. 10175
19:02or the Cybercrime
19:03Prevention Act
19:04of 2012
19:05since ICT
19:06or Information
19:07and Communications
19:08Technology
19:09used these
19:10scamming activities.
19:11That's why
19:12PNP-ACG
19:13reminds
19:14anyone who
19:15buys anything
19:16online
19:17to be careful
19:18with who
19:19they're talking to
19:20because not everyone
19:21we talk to
19:22on social media
19:23is right
19:24and true.
19:25Most of the time,
19:26they're using
19:27dummy accounts
19:28to deceive.
19:29The Anti-Cybercrime
19:30Group
19:31calls on
19:32everyone
19:33to not
19:34report to them
19:35so they can
19:36immediately
19:37act on the
19:38scam.
19:39So it's very
19:40important
19:41that they report
19:42to us
19:43if they're
19:44victims.
19:45They should
19:46have 24-7
19:47open
19:48to help them.
