Within widely importation happens to be on the internet, people saying about their own experiences and all the things that might help others not to be part of their own experience. Some people still had been bitten, and then they realized it was too late. Lucky for some who understood it earlier than those who failed and lost some of their money. Sometimes it was; we only learn if you experience the same we only knew the right came the time we regret it.

Who doesn't know what a love scam is? There was no age or gender for that. We could fall for the trap where they show the most romantic thing you ever hear about or promise something that you might not imagine beyond your expectations, and there are more and more scams happening on the internet, sometimes, if not minding and get careful you might be the next target.

Yesterday my aunt confessed something to me; she said she had a problem, and for sure if her son knew about it, he will be angry; I got confused. I mainly don't interfere with their issues, but she said she needed some help. I nod; I don't ask, but she's the one who says everything.

My verdict is that she was much over-thinker. No bad things or nudists happened to be exchanged between them, just that they were chatting on some dating application. But she feels sudden red flags about why she was the one who made the first move, lucky her of being a fan of Tulfo, the broadly known law legal issues influencer. She might find something to help her cope with scammers, but how about others who don't?

I heard a lot of news about related scams where some foreign men attract Filipino women on social media; the fact that having an outsider boyfriend might help them well in terms of financials, so they become anxious and want to try something. That's the scamming comes, were some had been given their money because of circumstances like these men were caught and needing some money to get free, or hospitalization bills and everything.

Quite ordinary and still widely present now. Why is that? LOVE.

She was chatting with people on social media and the various nations. Foreign nationals are attracted to Asian beauty and a lot more. This was widely stories all over the generations and the news.

There was danger in such a thing, as it was a scam; distinguishing them in the sense of good and evil is complex. Some could give their accounts which were quietly not good, hacking and fishing. Others give their credentials and personal details that could be more dangerous if they could have them, a lot of things that involve money and love affairs.

She told me everything, and I didn't see any danger for her; she was safe because she didn't give any pictures of her, just the decent ones, also the bank and accounts. One thing that triggered her is that she hears the men asking for a gift, which might be a sign. Luckily she spots it immediately.

She was this problematic, and she told me the stories. I understood her frightened, for I also knew her son. If I am terror, he was more terror than me, and maybe it's in the genes too. But I won't interfere with them; deal with it.

I wrote this article not to judge or demand people who have been victims of this scam. However, to remind that there was still out there, knowing people online, the post they have weren't details everything in real life. The life they had in the posted picture wasn't that way or not the natural person in the photo.

Be mindful of the person we deal with, be careful with the details we give them, and be cautious we need to have. Yeah, I understand sometimes we are looking for a stranger who could understand us. Sometimes we need someone who helps us emotionally and financially but is careful about what we click on online. Someone out there is doing nothing but ruining us.

There was no gender generalization. Men or women could be victims of this scam, they knew our weaknesses, and they give hope that we are looking, but lies something. This a real example of being careful what you were signing for, what you were clicking, and everything. It's not wrong to have friends online, strangers and unknown, but we shall get more curious when they ask something beyond.

Mayroon akomg co-teacher dati na nangyari yung ganitong situation, and she was scammed for about 30-50,000. Nakkalungkot lang kasi nga, it's because of "LOVE" kaya nangyayari yung ganito. I really hate this kind of person, who will use the weaknesses of others just to take advantage of them. So everyone should also be reminded that "manipulation feels like love" so be careful and be smart all the time.

Andaming manloloko talaga ngayon. Kilala mo yung ScarletDoll na sa noise.app ngayon? Scammer rin yon noon eh. Well ewan ko na lang ngayon kasi lahat ng nakakaalam ng sikreto niya is blocked. Gumagamit ng identity ng iba para makapanlamang ng tao haha. Dalawang katauhan nga ninakaw non eh, yung Michelle Arceo tapos yung Miss Miyah yata yon. Di ko lang alam yung ngayon kung totoo na ba pinapakita niya or hindi kasi di ko makita mga posts niya. Basta ingat ingat na lang talaga HAHHA.
