Fellow istoryans, i just want you guys to know that there are a lot of cellphone and electronic spamming/scamming going on in our local advertising sites (cebuclassified, ayosdito,cebulocanto..etc). Please don't be enticed by their offers of buy 1 get 1 or huge discounts for bulk orders coz surely they'l just steal your money. They advetise their products online and ask payments thru Western Union, moneygram, etc and no cellphones or units will ever be delivered! I, for one, had almost become a victim. Good thing i stumbled across a very helpful website.

Examples of their scam forums:
