Scammers, being scammed??

[Colin]

I am not sure if this subject has been covered but there seems to be a lot of scammers out there in the Philippines trying their best to get money from lonely vunerable guys who are looking for love so i guess not sending money until you meet is a must.

I was looking through a list of scammers and i actually found one of the photos of the women being used is one of the photos in the Gallery here which was very surprising as i am sure the member on here who posted it has no idea it was being used..

[Mrs Daddy]

I dont know what your on about colin?please enlighten me...how can you view a list of scammers?thats a bit shocking!!!I feel sorry for those innocent people.people abroad would generalize filipino for being one whis is unfair!

Very interesting...

Could you send me the links privately, please?

Or any other moderator.

[Colin]

On a Filipino dating site they have a section on scammers and there are alot on there. It is just to let people know to be careful in case one of them tries to scam again.

I am not saying all Filipinas are like that as that would be stupid as i know most of them are genuine women.

I only highlighted the fact that a scammer was using one of photos that is on here to let the person know that their photo is being used but i am not sure how to go about this and if it needs to be done privately so that is why i have not mentioned the member who owns the photo yet..

[Colin]

Very interesting...

Of course i can if i am able to use the PM as i am a new member. I will tell you which photo is being used.

[Mrs Daddy]

No.........:NoNo:

It seems i am not able to use the private messages yet!

Let the mods deal with this.

We don't want a witch hunt and accusations on the forum.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, it could be an innocent mistake, in which case it will be forgotten and buried in the annals of history

If it is not, it will be in the hands of admin to deal with as he sees fit.:omg:

[bornatbirth]

i have seen a photo on the gallery that i have seen elsewhere on the web too,but its so easy to steal a photo and make a fake profile so how do you know whos the real person or not?

i never saw a list of scammers before that news to me theyre just warning you what might happen in meeting people online so its best to use your common sense!

[Colin]

It seems that if any member has scammed on this site then they are banned but their profile is put on a list of scammers.

There must be 1000+ on this site so i am sure a lot of guys are out of pocket..

[aromulus]

You're right! You don't need to send money until you meet her. That is always the advise given to readers and members of this forum.
Scammers are everywhere so we really need to be careful. If you send money, you may be a loser in the end:NoNo:

If she's in our Gallery then we are interested to know:D :omg:

[Strangemikan]

Hi guys, I am a newbie and I am a Filipina and I live here in Manila, Philippines.

I am speaking on behalf of all the true Filipina. I have been a victim by those people who enjoys "stereotyping". I am not saying you cannot find scammers here in the Philippines. Yes, unfortunately we have. What I am saying is, please do not think that all Filipinas are up to what's in your pocket.

If somebody (no matter how good looking) asks for your money, please don't give her. Particularly, if you don't even know her. Or else, you'll end up posting in forums, telling people that you were scammed (by a Filipina). Stop playing 5tup*d. You are old enough to know if you are being abused or not.

[Mrs.JMajor]

If she's in our Gallery then we are interested to know:D :omg:

Yes I slept dead last night but I received a call from my brother in Saudi at 5 a.m. He was happy to inform me that his daughter passed her IELTS exam:D

I am so happy about the brilliant news as she can apply now in NZ as Nurse:BouncyHappy:

[Sconnie]

I guess we are all interested in this thread.
1. To know if there is a scammer among us, I hope and think not.
2. To know if one of us here has had their picture abused by a scammer in another site.

We should leave detection to our moderators and allow them to deal with this issue and report back to us in a manner they judge to be a sensible.
Let none of us her try to pre-judge or look for the culprit or victim or make assumptions.
Remember avatars used here in this forum are not all the true image of the user.

just because a picture of you or someone else appears on a list, doesn't make them a scammer, they probably dont even know it's been used else where, so you should be careful of what your saying, that's one of the problems with publishing any pictures on the net, anyone can start using and abusing them.... :NoNo:

[Colin]

Yes i will make this clear just so there is no misunderstanding;

What i noticed i have passed on to the Mods to look into. I am making no claims about what i saw only that i saw something that needed looked into and i am in no way saying any member on this forum is guilty of anything.

The Mods who do a great job on here are looking into the matter and its up to them alone if they want to publish their findings.

I will not be making anything i have found public.

[joebloggs]

I have never said that the person in the photo is a scammer, all i have done is make the Mods aware of the situation so please be careful with what you are claiming i have said..:NoNo:


first when i said 'just because a picture of you or someone else appears on a list, doesn't make them a scammer' i was talking in general, not about the list you saw or i wasn't suggesting that you meant that the person was because they were on the list :doh

when i said be careful of what your saying, i was talking about not mentioning the person involved, i wasn't or didn't mean to suggest you was suggesting they are a scammer, of which the person is not :doh

but thanks for mentioning it, and i'm sure dom or keith has informed the person concerned.

No one is saying or thinking anything like what you are imagining above, so please stop this kind of post.

One of the members of this forum might have had his/her picture abused by some unknown person in an other website, that is what this thread is about, the moderators of this forum are investigating and will report back how and when they feel fit.

OK.

Smile and be happy, we all love, trust and cherish our Filipino partners.

Thanks Dom for this feedback. everyone must take care.

The problem is that if you publish your photos anywhere on the Internet, even on this site, you are leaving yourself open to someone using your photos for other purposes. And you may never find out unless you or someone who knows you stumbles upon them.

[kimmi]

thanks MOD DOM..:) this will be an eye opener for all of us,to be very careful in posting any personal infos or pictures in a forum or a website..

[Colin]

The person who stole the photo had already been caught out as a scammer but it just goes to show how easy it is for someone to steal other peoples photos just to scam people.

There are Filipinos out there giving Filipinos a bad name which is sad

[aromulus]

The person who stole the photo had already been caught out as a scammer but it just goes to show how easy it is for someone to steal other peoples photos just to scam people.

True enough, but it does not clear the damage done to the innocent victim, whose only sin was to post a photo or two on the internet.



There are Filipinos out there giving Filipinos a bad name which is sad

That is true of every nation, not only Filipinos.

The vast majority of people tend to tar everyone with the same brush, without making allowances.

There are, undoubtlely, many, many nice Nigerians, or real honest russian brides but generally we dismiss them authomatically as scammers, because after many yaers of hearing horror stories we have become conditioned to it.
