Beware of Scam to send Money to Philippines for Services

[mrfitbrown]

Hi Bros

I just wanted to share my experience here. My "friend" pass me this contact of a girl who is from Philippines and is supposed to be working as an escort here. The contact is only through the Yahoo Messenger or some other online chatting service.

Once you start chatting with her, she will be very nice to you and her story goes like this...
- She is from Phillipines and is working as an escort and a model for adult magazines
- Her movement here is controlled by her Manager in Philippines and she cant go anywhere without his approval.
- If you want to use her escort services, then you need to first transfer money to her boss in Philippines and then only he will let her go here.
You need to pass them the transfer receipt number to do the verification that the money is transferred.

I must admit that I was dumb to believe the whole thing but since she was asking for $100, I thought that it would be ok to give it a shot. Guess what?
After transferring the money over, I told her that is was done and told her the receipt number. After that, she told me that she was given approval to come and meet me.

I went to the arranged hotel and waited around the area for more than 1 hour but she never showed and never called. She didnt pass any number because she said she got no hp and that she will call from public phone. When I called the hp number of the so-called manager, some guy answered and said that she is on the way. Repeated calls to the number went un-answered.

The next day, she appeared online again and started apologizing for not turning up. She cooked up one whole big story about how she lost her wallet in the mrt and she couldnt call me and she had to borrow money from some stranger in order to take the train back home.

She then said that her Manager agreed to let her leave to see me but I had to transfer another $70 to her manager. I scolded her big time over the chatline and cut her off.

Please bros, If you come across such a scam, please beware.....
Dont transfer money to anyone until the goods have been received.

Cheers!

Ya I know who the pple you talking yet they still ard..

well, the thing is this. If you are willing to transfer money, you would be the perfect victim for Sherrine. And in terms of small blessings, you got a big one in that you did not meet Sherrine.

So, maybe you can console yourself with the thought that you were not scarred in any way except out of pocket.

Nobody to blame except yourself. There are many such examples around especially in Tagged.

Yup! Encountered a few of this scam in tagged before.. Most r from d phillipines n they cook up d same story like wat TS told.. If u r observant. Most of the pics that they upload, the background has sumthing to do wif Singapore like infront of the merlion, esplanade, supreme court n so on.. The best thing is not to transf anything. Juz play along wif them n soon they'll get bored..

Insists on cash transaction, no scam can get to you.

Did you check with your "friend"? Maybe they are together to make easy money.

Any pictures to share, the best see the "goods" and pay or else no deal.

TS,
Unfortunately you were thinking with your DICK not your brain. How could you believe such stories. A lesson learnt and at least u were bold enough to admit it.
There are enough of FL's in SG to choose from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you choose the wrong one.

[bonkster]
