Makit an ra lagi na nimo Maam, gamay ra kaayo ang Cebu.

A series of unfortunate events. One more reason why we shouldn't put everything on Facebook, allowing scammers and criminals to profile us with extreme precision.

Dili sya taga diri.. Yet she can afford to buy an expensive watch... With a price equivalent to a secondhand car... Ang relo karon panahona kay mahulog nalang jud na ug accessory... Except for those who really are into watches.. While A car on the other hand is almost a necessity... My point is kung sosyal siya para mopalit ug ingon ana nga watch... Then I think owning a car maskin na Dili sya taga diri could have been her first priority.. Hino.on lahi lahi ang taw...

Pero an expensive lesson for all of us... If you are selling labi na mahalon jud na butang.. Ug inyo pa.anha.on sa inyo just To give assurance to the buyer kuntahay... Always check if she/he is capable of buying one.. Ask for fb or anything na pwede nimo ma check.. You don't have to tire yourself out of doing a background check in person but fb alone can or may reveal a lot of the users personally and capabilities.. Though not that accurate but at least you won't be left hanging just in case something like this comes up..

Hino.on gutsy na kaau ning mangingilad karon.. Kay drugas man gud ang vitamins aning mga karaho..

Ts if it's okay.. I know Dili naka ganahan istoryahan siya... Pero maka estimate ka kung pila na iyang age... Para makahibaw ta kung gsugo ra to... Or dako na jud ni na modus... Kung edaran na... Like kung 20 to 30 medyo alanganin sa price sa item.. 31 to 40.. Pwede na ... 41 and beyond... Possible kaau pero less chance magbinu.ang unless kinahanglan jud or organization na level..

Pero I think Dili ni dako kaau.. But somehow naay mga contacts.. Dili baya to cash para mahimuslan to nila.. Ila jud to ibaligya... Sa taw nga may kaya or to be safe sa pawnshop nga more than half ang kuha.. But still a lot of money na... Kung ikaw sad may kaya mopalit.. Manigurado man jud.. Kaso lang sa imo mura complete with box man cguro to coz you were expecting na mahalin na..

Maau sad pagka Plano kung Dili masakpan... And sure ko Mangita pato ug biktimahon kay bilin naman kaau to sila sa ilang nabuhat.. Pina no sweat cguro tong mga moklo Ron...

that's why i don't usually do bank to bank, i prefer cash on hand (literally). but in that case (same situation) wherein we need to do bank to bank, i'll let her/him transfer the cash first and then the buyer can have the item, no need to accompany the buyer coz at that point you'll if it's the "real deal" kung iya jud e transfer. and you can check your account through the internet once mo confirm siya na iya na transfer..

been doing this maaannnnyyyy times, usahay gud mo ingon nalang ang buyer nga "kasabot rako sa ingon ani nga feeling sir nga kuwang kag pagsalig nako" ME: damn right! karon pagud ta nag kita, hehehe!

hinuon kadaghan nako wa tungha.e sa mga pretending-to-be-buyers diri pero wa pako naka suway nga nakawatan og unit/item.

though there was a time nga naay nakig trade ko sa akong ipod touch 2nd gen sa una with a Motorola nga android phone nga guba ang LCD and nag pasalig sad siya nako nga maayo pa ang LCD ana and he even provided me a number sa technician nag promise pud siya taga.an ko niya og ipod nga kanang ma clip lang sa shirt, shorts, etc. inig mo abot kuno iyang package pero wa nako nag dahom ato kay klaro rang atik2.. hehe! so pag contact nako sa technician and pag described nako sa unit ni ana ang technician nga murag mao na nga unit ang iyang ge balibaran kay phase out na ang LCD ana. was so pissed at that time, constantly blaming myself sa akong katanga! ge textsan og ge tawagan nako ang nag trade nako ato pero di mo tubag, hutdan nako pag la.om ato but then i saw a post here sa istorya nga na ayo iyang phone with the same problem (LCD) sa usa ka store sa SM, so i went there para ipa.ayo and was so relieved nga ni ingon ang technician nga naa sila parts and ge presoyhan daun kog dos mil.. hehe! so ako daun ge textsan ang nag trade nako nga "bai, musta na? ga to.o tingali kag maka tabla ka nako noh? good news na ayo ang imong phone, hehe" and i was so shocked nga ni reply siya nga willing ba daw nako ibalgya balik sa iyaha.. and i was like LOL!!

hehehe! chika na kaau ko dah, pero ang point man gud diri kay daghan kaau modos, dapat aware ta, heighten up our senses ika nga.. pero maka suway man jud ta og ingon ani.. amping2 lang jud ta kay daghan mga mananakap nga nag huwat nga mo naog imong depensa..

Question lang mam, why didn't you ask for help or bisan mo shout man lang to get attention of the people?,,did u get the plate # of the taxi pag dagan nila?? For sure, konsyabo to ang driver kay why man nipadagan ang driver bisag wala paka sa sulod?....

[Verbal]

woow.. sa tan-aw nako, murag more on the snatching side man ang nahitabo. usa pa, sa inana kadako nga kantidad mas maayo siguro supported w/ legal docs mam. assets na mn ng jewelry diba. stay vigilant gyud pirme mga bro/sis.

Like i said, I froze and dugay sad ku naka dagan.. But naka apas ku gamay to get the plate number til she texted me to meet her at KFC. So ni adtu sad ku. There really is no other way to say this but na shot jud ku sa bulsa. Plain and simple.

I also found out na she has been doing this for a while. And if mu resist ku and magpa hard to get, they have 4-5 armed men waiting. That's why she was always on her phone. May nalng ang relo nalng nakuha kaysa unsay nahitabo palang. We'll be leaving this as a charge of experience. Nothing we can do about it as of now

I think I've read somewhere along istorya of certain modus operandi similar to this.

Anyway, this is a wake up call for us... Maybe next time, if any of us is selling something "that" valuable, might be good idea to get some sort of "security" with you and follow simple mobster rules... no cash on hand = no trade.

scammers really go bigtime at this time
