Report scams now! While more and more Filipinos fall prey to different forms of scams, many still underestimate the gravity of filing formal reports to the proper authorities.
Others seem contented, or maybe in hopelessness and mindless resolve, simply share their plights and complaints through Facebook comment sections. That’s another big problem!
Scams are rip-offs, or fraudulent schemes performed by dishonest or deceitful individuals, groups, or companies in an attempt to solicit and obtain money or something else in value.
Scammers usually employ confidence tricks where they misrepresent themselves as authority figures such as lawyers, investors, bank representatives, and others. Here are the common warning signs or red flags of scams:
6 Warning Signs (Red Flags) of Scams
Before you report scams and other suspicious business and investment transactions to our local authorities, do a little research first on warning signs or red flags already observed and experienced.
However, if you have made money transfers and been already scammed as what you feel and believe, verify the legitimacy and legality of the other party and seek help right away.
[1] You receive investment and other business proposals through unsolicited email and SMS messages. Mostly, these unsolicited emails are received from suspicious email domains or from free email providers such as Yahoo or Gmail.
While you’re being addressed with generic expressions, grammatical and typographical errors are also evident throughout their messages. Might as well, many scammers do not have registered landline numbers; hence, they contact you by mobile phones.
[2] You’re asked to provide your sensitive information such as credit card and bank account numbers, login passwords, and others. Your bank doesn’t and should never ask for your account login credentials, but scammers do.
If email requests come from your bank because of the seemingly reliable source address, don’t provide your information right away. Better make a call first or visit your servicing branch.
[3] You’re guaranteed investment profits and extremely fast transactions which are too good to be true. Scammers promise you surefire investment profits far ahead the existing market rates, but their systems and strategies are ambiguous and obscure.
Others even ask you to make money transfers first before you even submit necessary documents.
[4] You’re pressured that if you don’t grab the offer now, you’ll lose the opportunity. When you’re demanded to invest what you have in your savings or pocket, as in on the spot, then should you have a second thought. It’s a scam!
Legit investments require full understanding and informed decisions, and all legit agents believe that you need more time to think about them.
[5] You’re asked to pay upfront fees for their services. If they’re legit then they should be collecting service or processing fees right at the completion of your transactions, or most likely, no fees at all.
Equally obvious, you’re not even issued BIR official receipts after settlement, while others simply ask you to deposit payments casually to their bank accounts.
[6] You make transactions with them somewhere else, not in their office. You’re asked to meet them at the mall or fast-food restaurant because they don’t have any physical address.
They don’t have any decent office, and their business registration cannot be verified with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In other words, they run fly-by-night business operations. Search Google for more red flags.
Investment Scam Checklist (Securities and Exchange Commission)
As per the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), if you come across any investment offer by phone, email, flyers, newspaper ads, or directly by any person or by any other means, and promising earnings or profits which are too good to be true, you must get the following information:
- Name of the Person and the Company Making the Offer
- Address of Both the Person and the Company
- Phone Number (Do not accept cellular phone number)
- SEC Registration as an Investment Taker. Be reminded that SEC company registration alone does not grant authority to sell investment instruments. Only investment houses and financing companies with QB (quasi-banking) license and with SEC registered securities may offer to sell investment instruments to more than 19 investors. Only SEC registered persons such as brokers, dealers, and salesmen may offer and sell SEC registered securities to the public.
SEC also advises that you do not deal with them if:
- They are unwilling to give any of the information mentioned.
- They do not have SEC registration or appropriate license to engage in the selling of investment instruments.
- They fail to give additional information such as number of investors, minimum placement, rate of return, and others, and not listed on the SEC official website.
Lastly, you can prevent these scammers from making more victims by:
- Reporting to the Enforcement and Investor Protection Department (02) 8584-6337; and,
- Seeking NBI or police assistance in case of emergency situations.
How and Where to Report Scams in the Philippines
You better report scams to local authorities right away instead of seeking help and advice from support groups on social media. Yes, you may receive words of sympathy for your misfortune, but not the legal actions that you need.

Scammers are operating falsely claiming to be US Embassy. How can they be stopped?
Hi, please help me. I got scammed by a digital marketing scheme involving Amazon, Lazada etc. I have given a huge amount of money in return for the commission. I didn’t see anything suspicious at first. I really need my money back. Please help me 🙁 I just want to support my family and earn to finance my studies. Please help.
Hi Cyrille. Have you reported the incident to the PNP, NBI, or even the local authorities like in your barangay? Please share the details of the scam here so to warn others.
Hi, I have been scammed from someone, all I have from the scammer is the PayPal account, please let me know how can I report them? The scammer is from Philippine and I’m from United Kingdom.
Me too 😭. Almost 80k was scammed by an online platform digital marketing from me. I think they are using multiple websites and accounts. It is important to investigate this matter as soon as possible. They even use DTI certificate to convince.
I was actually scammed earlier as well. My fault for believing, but still, I asked to help pull out my money, but they always say they cannot help due to pamany policy. This is also from the same Amazon, Lazada, Shopee Group. If you’ve made a report, let me know and I will show the conversations I have as wel.
very true i was convinced when I saw the DTi certificate
I got scammed today for almost 90k, they wanted to recharge 25% of the accumulated commissions plus my deposits for a total amount of 197342.95 which is 49,335.73 pesos. I asked them to return the 90k they took from me. But they insisted to pay the tax first which I must recharge first before I can withdraw the funds. Which is odd.
I encountered a phone scammer, also a GCash user. He promised some money to give for financial help. It’s not good to post your GCash number on Facebook as there are many scammers.
I want to report this number 09361223315. The scammer who called me wanted the GCash OTP. He attempted to open my GCash with the OTP.
I was got scammed also today a total of 10k by https://ttwshopping. I am asking for a refund because the money I spent is for the medication of my husband. They say that I need to complete the task given. But I don’t have any amount left in my account. Can you please help me to refund the money I invest? I really need to buy the medicine. Thanks
Me too. Please help me. I got scammed by a digital marketing scheme involving Waltermart, Amazon, Lazada etc. I have given a huge amount of money in return for the commission. I didn’t see anything suspicious at first. I really need my money back. Please help me 🙁. I just want to support my family. I lost almost 150k. Please help me 😭.
Me, too. I got scammed the same way you had. I still can’t get my money. Where can I report it?
Hi! Have you already reported guys? I was scammed the same way, too.
Same situation, Ma’am.
This is what happened to me right now. I’m try to get back my money but need to complete the task.
Me too. Almost 170k. Prior withdrawal already but as per finance services, cannot send the amount because of transfer limit from gcash is only 100k. Here is the number and name that’ve been used by WALTERMART scammers and used to send the so called ” tax deduction”. Mary Grace de Torres- 09360793281.
I have the same situation but a different “Recuirment” firm, as so they used. Mu money is stucked on their platform and ask us to pay another 30% of total to release.
I got scammed too like others who posted. They say they are connected with Google and Amazon. They did not scam a lot from me, but I wish you could do something about them because I bet that they have scammed so many people who think they are legit. Please check these numbers +639260211591 and +639453829305. They are many, and they just scam people day in and day out. The least they could get is 1000 pesos, and I guess others get scammed even more money. Imagine they do these to 100 people. I hope you can fine these people. They are the worst of worst. The name Latrina Beier came out. They use so many numbers because they ask to transfer via Gcash. Put down this website UPWORK.
I was scammed yesterday by an online shop which allows you to buy from Amazon, Ebay, Alibaba etc. They first ask you to recharge for only 100 pesos so you can do tasks which is grabbing an order.
The commission depends on the price of an item. The more expensive item you bought, the more commission you can get, so from 100 pesos, to 300 to 900 to 1500 to 3k to 4k. And I stopped because I don’t have enough balance for the last task which climbs to 15k. The mngr. said that I will have a reward of 9999k if I completed the task within the day. I asked for her to change the item to lower price so that I can withdraw my money back but she said I need to complete the task before I can withraw. The company name is Ubuys-shops.
Same like me the account is Greenhill-online.com. The people I transacted were certain Kimberly Diwa and Romalyn Nicole.
Same thing happened to me too, 24k with redeemincentive.com
I was scam today 12,700. It was a task to like and follow the page a virtual purchase Lazada… At first it was ok. You can withdraw immediately, but as it gets going the value of virtual purchase was getting higher and higher… They even push me to borrow money to others just to complete the task to get a commission… They have group chat MARKETING COOPERATION, and I suspected that I was scammed because the admin was deleting the account on telegram, and they won’t allow me to withdraw my money not until I finished the task which cost a lot of money… They even suggest to borrow money from others just to do the task. Here are the numbers associated with this scam. The payment method to stores in Lazada.

I was scammed by certain names — Jennifer Lawrence and Richard Clinton, thru payment via GCASH.
I was convinced to invest in Bitcoin trading which is also popular in our country. At first I sent P2K for the investment, then, I was registered to their trading the s9 Mining Company. As if real trading you would see the movement of the trading at the CoinMarket-Cap via Porfolio, I was convinced.
They showed me my profit which is about $1,245.03 (P62K+). I started to doubt with the big profit amount in less than 1-week.
Jennifer Lawrence ask me to pay P10k for the processing. I was shoched. She told me the profit will not be released if I will not pay the P10K. Since I didn’t have the P10k, she offered she would shoulder the P5k, and I would pay her as soon as the profit was released. It seemed that she was good girl, she even told to wait for 7 hrs for the processing. Came more than 1-day, I asked her what’s the update because I was excited to receive my profit.
Another modus came-out, accordingly, my profit was ready for released. They asked me my GCASH account and another P8K for the TAX.
We had a long discussion, because that P8k could be automatically deducted from the profit. They insisted me to pay the P8k because their company would release my profit.
I was forced to pay P8K just to have the profit release.
Sad to say, another problem came and she introduce Richard Clinton their company manager to help my profit released.
Another bull***t came, Richard Clinton asked me to pay more P8k because my first P8K payment did not reflect in my account.
Very sad to note how this SCAMMER, took my money.
I am happy if anyone can help me recover my money.
Following SCAMMER involved:
1. Jennifer Lawrence, possibly Nathalie Karogong with contact/GCASH # 09058909869.
2. Richard Clinton, +1(202)4950528 (WHATSAPP).
3. Gayvee Noora, contact/GCASH receiver # 09271125126.
4. WA KATRINA FABRO, contact/ GCASH receiver # 09057502482.
Hope and wish somebody will help me recover my money for medicines.

I reported Scam before and cybercrime. The reason that I think these scammers are still active just because they are taking advantage of how lame our justice system. If the amount is minimal, they tend to victim blame. The worst is they didn’t do anything to the lodged report. I was waiting for the hearing and several months now, to no avail. Fell victim for another scammer who by the way provided all the necessary documents I have requested for proof of legitamacy, and yet this person still succeeded doing their dirty works. And now I will be needing to gather these information, have it checked, and be reported. Will go through the same process. But since I have prior experience that this will not prosper, not only the trauma of being scammed is what I am feeling, also the frustrations that I will go to the same process that the CYBERCRIME TEAM will just void my complaint!
Hi! I got scammed for usdt 3000/-. This person called herself Amelia came thru a dating site and all thru put status of how she’s making a lot of money thru Crypto Mining.

I was offered a job at Upwork. A company named Marin Software messaged me and hired me for a translation job. I finished the work and sent it to them. They asked for my bank account for them to transfer my salary. I received an email saying that they already transferred the money, but it is on hold since I need to pay for an activation code for my money transfer. Unfortunately, I sent them money multiple times since they told me that I have to pay for the activation codes, IMF, and tax codes. They said that these money that I sent them will be reimbursed once they are finish transferring my salary. They kept on asking for more money but I told them that I don’t have any more money with me. So I just told them to cancel the transfer but they have to give back my money. They said that they can’t refund the money anymore since they were processing my salary transfer already. I am begging them to give my money back but they won’t do it. I was able to send them a total of 25,000 PHP. Please help me.
Good morning.
BOL[dot]COM scammed!!!!!
I just scammed 350k from this so called BOL E-COMMERCE COMPANY. They said they are a platform for data service from the merchant BOL[dot]COM for traffic data of the products etc.
At first they give you money to gain your trust. And then they let you participate in this task earning commissions.
At first it was really small. And then gets higher and higher. And then I made a mistake in the task for whatever reason because it was a psychological attact. They force you to make another task and pay first and you get back the commision. They play with your conscience making you that it’s your fault the other group members cannot withdraw the money. It’s a game of mind. They told you to pay the dividend first before you can withdraw all the money.
I will report this to NBI and PNP.
I know the justice system here in the Philippines is very frustrating but I just want to do my part help also other people in the future to not be scammed.
I am experiencing the same thing now maam. The platform called sunflower.ph.
They give me a task that needs to complete, but first I need to recharged at certain amount. At first they gave me back my money plus the commission, but as the task succeeded to the next level it keeps asking for higher amount to charged. Now they’re asking me to pay this certain amount so I can get all the money that I’ve deposited into the account. Now I wanted to know where can I report this.

Like others, I know two persons know from Philippines were scammed/victimized inside the bank premises.
Please beware of Security Bank Valenzuela Malinta Branch – CONNIE FRANCISCO, she is working with certain guy name Angelo Joseph Lee victimizing bank depositors. The transaction was done inside the premises of security bank during bank working hours, so who would have thought that the investment is not related to Security Bank? The past and present branch managers are also involved because they are protecting Connie Francisco, they are covering up each other. They swindled millions. Unfortunately, justice was never served to those depositors who lost their hard-earned money.
To those who were victimized, I encourage you to come out. CONNIE FRANCISCO should be held liable. Depositors will not know any bank product investment unless it was introduced to them. She has thick skin to deny any involvement and refused to take responsibility. The transaction was done through her. She received the money inside the bank premises, she should be held liable.
I strongly urge everyone not to patronize/bank your hard earned money at Security Bank Corporation, they are protecting their employee more than their depositors. They are protecting a scammer! It is also useless to file a complaint to their HR. They are tolerating CONNIE FRANCISCO’s wrong doing, until now she is still employed by the bank, no sanction rendered for her wrong doing. The bank itself eradicated her from any liability to those 2 depositors she swindled and the bank did not offer resolution to their depositors. The bank should have at least mediate and require Connie Francisco to pay back what she swindled to be fair because after all it was she who introduced that investment and the only person who received the money.
The bank has responsibility for their employee’s actions because everything happened inside the bank premises during bank working hours, they are employed by the bank. Where is justice in this???
The best way is to circulate this on social media to raise public awareness in order to avoid others from being victimized.

I just got scammed by an online seller RUBY TAN with cellphone number
09811009607. I ordered and paid ₱3,000 for a box of cherries to be delivered 2 days later. When I followed up the delivery, she said she will deliver only if I ordered another box! Her ad said “No minimum order” and now she is requiring 2 boxes minimum, otherwise she will not deliver or have the order picked up. Who knows what would have happened if I paid for another box. The worse part is, she refused to refund my payment. Be careful when dealing with this RUBY TAN. She is also using 09615351839 for Gcash. Although I do not expect to recover my money, I am posting this to warn others.
I’m one of those who got blinded and did something an idiotic mistake. I don’t want to specify the details because even my self know it’s very stupid. I hope you can report this number: +2348107541024. If you trace this number, I bet they’ve scammed a lot of people. I can’t even view their facebook profile anymore.I hope someone can help
