[Possible scam] Stranger asked for ₱1k

pumunta ako sa glorietta after work to get something. paglabas ko ng zara, may isang lalaki na lumapit sakin. pinoy siya pero sabi niya taga ibang bansa daw siya, and he had a very american sounding accent. sabi niya hindi siya nakapagpalit ng dollars kasi closed na daw yung money changers. it was already around 8 pm.

i told him na baka closed na talaga since usually hanggang 5 or 6 pm lang. then he asked me kung saan yung makati med. i asked him if he had cash so i could maybe help him book a grab using my phone, kasi naisip ko baka wala siyang grab app since galing siya abroad.

sabi niya wala daw siyang cash or pesos, and asked if baka may cash ako. i told him wala akong cash because i usually just use my cards. i was genuinely willing to help naman.
then he said he could give me $50 in exchange for 1k. sabi ko sige, i just needed to withdraw money first. so i withdrew 1k pesos and gave it to him.

after that, he gave me his name and phone number and even asked if we could take a selfie together using my phone. i guess baka para maging comfortable ako or para hindi ko isipin na scam siya. we took a selfie using my phone so ayun meron naman akong pic ng face nya if ever scammer to.

he also asked me to send him a message with my name and number for gcash daw, para mabayaran niya ako later or something. honestly, hindi ko na rin sure what the arrangement was supposed to be.

kanina lang talaga nangyari and hindi ako mapakali. 😭 after he left, naisipan kong tawagan yung number na binigay niya, pero out of coverage area siya.

now im overthinking everything. 😭 scam ba to or what? i was genuinely trying to help him, pero ngayon ko lang narealize na ang weird pala ng buong situation. huhu.

Anyone here working in Saudi through ABBA with IRC as the subcon? Legit ba and kumusta ang experience?

Dami ko kasi nakikita online na late magpasahod pag under IRC tapos ilang weeks or even months naka stay sa accommodation pagka deploy sa Saudi while waiting kung san ma assign na hospital then walang sahod during those weeks/months. Totoo ba?

I’m really frustrated kasi gusto ko na sana mag abroad kasi balak ko dun mag bedside nurse since okay ang sahod compared dito habang nag aayos ang nag iipon for Europe naman 😭 heeelp

What are your pampaputi for underarm?

i tried piqo4 laser but minimal improvement lang after 5 sessions 🙃

ive been trying to improve the appearance of my underarms and was wondering what products, treatments, or routines have actually worked for you.

im looking for honest experiences whether it's creams, serums, deodorants, laser treatments, or anything else. how long did it take before you noticed results, and were they worth the cost?

Anyone here who has gone through Converge's disconnection process?

Hi everyone, im hoping someone can help clarify the disconnection process with converge because their chat support has been taking a long time to respond.

I recently requested to have my account disconnected, but they informed me that I still have an outstanding balance of 1,500+ for june. What confuses me is that I have an overpayment from my May billing cycle.

If the service is already being terminated, why would I still need to pay for June? Does the overpayment not get applied to future charges, or is there a specific cutoff period for disconnection requests that I’m missing?

I may be misunderstanding how their billing works, so id appreciate any insights from those who have gone through the same process. Thanks!
