beware of these people: Marie Joy Dela Cruz and Cristina Clores (iPhone installment scam)

as said from the title, these two people are scammers. ‘yung kanilang scheme is so very well laid out even ako na sobrang cautious pa eh na-scam.

kapag nakikipag-transact ka at kinutuban ka nang scam, ‘wag mo nang kalabanin ‘yung instinct mo—it’s a scam!

it started as a normal conversation about inquiring for iPhone with downpayment. ito ang tatandaan niyo, sa isang transaction kung saan may down payment involved, it’s 99% scam. hindi ko sinasabing lahat, pero never settle for a transaction that requires a down payment.

bilang isang taong may trust issues kay Marie Joy (iPhone installment agent), nag-browse ako sa account for reviews and contacted someone. (Cristina) to verify their transaction. hindi mo aakalaing magkasabwat silang dalawa dahil aakalain mo ring legit ‘yung transaction nila.

pero bago niyo ako sabihang tanga, ang promising ng mga account nila. may friends, may posts (pero when i took a screenshot after i got scammed, 0 na), at naka-lock pa. iisipin mong hindi gutom mang-scam dahil sa consistency ng profile nila.

isa rin sa mga reasons bakit ako nagtiwala is dahil hindi naman ako minamadali para mag-send ng down payment (inabot ng isang linggo bago ako na-scam dahil sa dami kong tanong). pero, isa sa na-miss kong part is noong bago ako mag-send ng down payment, nag-post si scammer na out of business daw sila for a while para mag-check if marketable pa raw ang units nila until July 10. so ako, as someone na buo na ang loob, pinilit ko pa ring ituloy ang transaction.

their scheme is well laid out, hindi mo iisiping scam dahil sinuportahan ng isang review na akala mo legit, eh hindi naman pala.

to be honest, wala na akong pake sa 5,000 na na-scam sa akin. maliit na halaga lang ‘yon compared sa ibang daan-daan ang nakukuha. hindi na rin ako umaasang babalik pa ‘yon mula sa scammer. babalik naman ‘yung pera pero in a way na kikitain ko ‘yun sa magandang paraan. sabi nga, “don’t go crying over spilled milk.”

ginawa ko ang post na ito para maging lesson sa lahat. maging maingat sa pagpili ng transaction. iwasan ang marketplace at greenhills. ang pinakamgandang gawin? magipon. kung hindi kaya ng budget? ‘wag bilhin. ‘wag umasa sa installment. baka kasi way na ‘yon ng Diyos para ilayo ka sa bagay na masama tulad ng naranasan ko.

to the people behind these images, i hope you are aware that your identity is being used to scam people. this is the only action i know and want to do. karmahin sana ng tenfold lahat ng scammers sa mundo.
