00:00Don't ignore the red flags, that's the order of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center
00:05to avoid being fooled by love scams.
00:08Especially in their data, the number of victims increases every February or Love Month.
00:13The motive behind it and how to avoid it, let's find out in the news brought to you by Oscar Oida.
00:22Handsome, tall, handsome and above all, very sweet.
00:27Those are just a few of the stupidities why the former OFW, Juliette, quickly fell in love with a dating app.
00:35She became RomeoOnline when she met a Norwegian serviceman on a dating app.
00:41He's fair-skinned, sir. Fair-skinned, a bit blonde. His hair is different.
00:46His eyes are beautiful. They're round.
00:48He's charming.
00:50Of course, he'll call you baby. I've never experienced that.
00:54But as time went by, Juliette noticed that her online Romeo was becoming too popular.
01:02He'll ask for my full name, my salary for a month.
01:06It seems like she's also allergic to phone calls or video calls.
01:10I said, can we make a video call? Just for 5 minutes. I just want to see your face.
01:16He really doesn't want to. He's doing it. He's just sending pictures.
01:20She became even more doubtful when it came to the point where she asked for money.
01:25And when she said that she didn't have money to give.
01:29He even told me to borrow money from your boss. Tell him it's an emergency.
01:34At this point, Juliette realized that it's not true love, but a love scam.
01:41I thought he was real, but he's a scammer.
01:44Maybe it's ugly. But it's true.
01:48If it's too handsome, it's hard.
01:50Our Filipinos are loved and hardworking.
01:54But most of the time, it's the people behind the so-called love scams.
02:00Or the modus of getting to know each other online.
02:03You'll be friends, and eventually, you'll be robbed of money.
02:08Most of the time, we're very emotional.
02:11And because of this attitude, you can program in the AI.
02:16How can I get a Filipino?
02:19We're already profiled, and they know we're highly vulnerable.
02:23And they know Filipinos are hardworking, that's why they save a lot.
02:28That's why we're targeted.
02:30According to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, or CICC,
02:35every February, up to 15 Filipinos are victimized by love scams.
02:41That's why it's important to detect red flags or signs that you're a love scammer.
02:50Red flag number one, the picture.
02:53Too perfect to be true.
02:55His profile pic is so aesthetic.
02:59And there are no tagged photos or friends of real people.
03:04Red flag number two, if he's allergic to video calls.
03:08He doesn't want to talk on the phone.
03:10And there's always a reason why he can't meet people.
03:13And the red flag number three, if he's asking for money.
03:19Even if there's an emergency or he doesn't want to invest.
03:23That's why our profiles are so important.
03:28This is for a spot.
03:30Because the problem is most love scams are LDR, foreigners.
03:36So there's no chance to meet.
03:39So guys, remember, love is real, but so are the scammers.
03:45So be extra careful.
03:47Protect not only your hearts, but also your pockets.
