Have you ever experienced to be scam? As if you wasted all your time and money because you trusted too much? Years ago when pyramiding method of earnings became popular, and a lot of people failed to get back their money.

But aside from this, people who are greedy of money, still do a lot of techniques just to trick you and get your money. I don't know why there are people who love to spend money came from stealing and wrong doings.

Just last week when I encountered a scam, feels good but since I don't easily grab easy opportunity then I tried to figure it out before taking.

________________________

Last week, Monday, I got a notification from Telegram in one of my group chat which I've joined, is says that I won 0.35 btc. I don't like to install Telegram as it's not that popularly used in the Philippines, yet based on what other writers said, if I want to earn other crypto for free, then I must join groups in Telegram. Before I discover read.cash, I once a member of Tipestry. I don't know if this site is familiar to you but, it is like noise.cash where you can share photos and put some captions. Before it's system is not that strict, I actually earn easily in my first week. Some are commenting how I earn immediately then I just said that I post photo and caption which I personally owned. As of now, I forgot the wallet that I used that time lol, I just left my earnings.

Back to my award, it says that I can claim my award using their suggested wallet. I told it to my younger brother and he told me that I just try, unless it ask money, but since it didn't ask money, I do the procedure. When I finished it, I check the wallet and yes it shows 0.35 btc. But when I suppose to transfer it in my bitcoin wallet, it says that I need to deposit. Although the amount is big, I just left it because I don't want to take some risk in this kind of thing. The next day some users are complaining that they still didn't get the money although they already deposit, until we are not allowed to message in the group chat.


It was Wednesday afternoon when I recieved a call from unknown number. I picked it up but the person in the other side is choppy, I just end the call thinking that maybe it's just a wrong dial. But after few minutes, it call again and when I pick it up, she first said "Good afternoon po, is this (my complete name)?", I was shocked that she know it even my middle initial. She added that she is a seller in the shopee app, and I am one of the lucky winner who get a sale. She try to speak again, so fast, but still choppy. So I told her that she just call again after 30 minutes. And here she is, after 30 minutes she really call back and explain me everything.

She said that their shop's name is timecollection.ph, she told me to visit it so I can see myself what are their products. I search it, and saw that it's a verified shop selling original watch; it means all their products are really expensive. She told me that if I bought an amount of 4,000 php ($76.36), I can only get it for as low as 900 php ($17.18). My mother wants to buy a new original watch, and for me this is a good opportunity to give her one. I told her that I will update her if I will grab it, but then she don't want to end the call and explain again. I just notice that in her background noise, there's the same voice of her saying same words, I'm even thinking "do I listening to a recorded audio?" Hmmn maybe not, because she answers my question.

Fast forward...

Since I feel something weird about her, what I did is;

Me : Okay, I will just order in your shop if I want to

Caller : Ma'am this offer is limited po. And you can't buy their using our sale, only here po

Me : It's okay, I actually message the shop, asking for your list of sales

Caller : Oh okay po *end the call

Btw, the shop replied that there's no ongoing sale in their items and they didn't call anyone; "that's a scam" the seller added.

Yeah, no doubt a lot of scammers are waiting to scam us who do not know about things very well. A few days ago I ordered a jacket and USB. USB is still working but the clothes on the jacket are of very poor quality. Now I decided not to buy anything online from stores.

Scammers are truly everywhere sis and they don't fade, they only change name's and even company. However in telegram don't ever trust too much as it is also known as the house of scammers and thank God you didn't fell in to their trap.

Most scammers know information about each and every person that their eyes are on. There are still a lot of scammers out there so I'll just advise all of us to be very careful so that we won't fall into their hands. I know it may be difficult to know these scammers or identify them but let's still be careful

I also tried once Tipestry but could not make some amounts so I just left. Well, you have did the good thing when you did not diposit there, I also won't allow anyone to do such thing. This amount as you are going to sent as fee would be just wasted. You are brillint that you avoided that way.

I don't like scammers. Lol Maybe that's because I know the harm they've caused people close to me who've fallen for their cunningness. I try to do my best to avoid them.

It's a good decision to verify the information first by asking the store itself, there are lots of scammers nowadays they truly artistic just to fool other people. It's a lesson for us that we should not easily get attracted to those scam offers, it's better to know if the caller is legit to avoid being scammed.

Yes they are not afraid and expert. I also didn't know how she/they get it, but she told me, introducing herself, that she's a seller in online shop. So I'm thinking that maybe I bought an item in her shop before. I really don't know.
