Mura ni ug phishing scam ... sa mailad lang

Happen to my boss here sa amo office (OFW), iya mom naka dawat ug call from supposedly an immigration officer from US (pero ga tagalog lolz) nga
iya daw anak naka disgrasya and in jail. Para daw maka gawas, kahinganlan pabayron daw iya mom (ngan naa sa cebu) by any means... sa ka kulba
sa mom, hing bayad pud; naka utang pa gyud and that never to tell anyone pagyud kuno. Na realize na sa iya mom when my boss called her (regular
call lang). Btw, almost happen to my cozins pud sa amoa pero maygani naka tikod siya nga ilad diay... bantay2x lang gyud mo sa mga scammers ron,
mura ni sila ga training sa Nigeria sa unsa ug scam ang mga tawo dira sa pinas.

Bro, pa trace ang smart number niya sa smart. If someone is going to ask for money and you don't know him/her, ayaw jud paghatag bisan pa for a good cause. Daghan na scams nowadays even sa internet thru e-mail. Some people would ask your info like your complete name, address, work, birthday, age... and etc. Ayaw jud mo panghatag ani mga info. They would say you won in a lottery online and they would be asking for these info. Just want to inform you guys and gals about this.

OT: i made a money transfer via XOOM.COM last thursday using my checking accout, to realize that i had to cancel it a few minutes after i did the transaction. ang kagwang pud nga call center agent sa XOOM, she told us that the account has been cancelled, WITHOUT notifying us that there is no gaurantee that the amount would be taken off of my bank acct or not.

yesterday i just realized gikwaan ko nilag 500+ USD sa akong bank account without my authorization. i already cancelled the transaction, but still gikuhaan gihapon nila. i have to pay my bills too. when we called them they said it's gonna take 5-10 FREAKIN BUSINESS DAYS before they can give me a refund. there's no way that i can wait 5-10 business days wa sila malipong?? my bills can't wait!!!!

Dong...it is SOP I believe na makaltas agad yan sa balance mo even within a few minutes after all... IT IS THEIR MOTTO na money to the Philippines WITHIN MINUTES. Even if you already have cancelled it. Did you read their terms of agreement?

It says there:
b. Refunds. In general, we do not provide refunds unless we did something wrong. We will consider your written request for a refund (submitted by email, fax, or U.S. mail using the contact information at the bottom of this TOS) if you provide the Sender’s full name, address, and phone number, together with the Transaction tracking number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request.

If we do provide you a refund, we will only refund the Transaction Amount if the Transaction was not paid out to the Recipient (in which case we will also cancel your pending Transaction); otherwise, we will only refund the Service Fee. Refunds will be credited to the same Payment Instrument used to pay for the Transaction. Refunds are only be made in U.S. dollars. Refund amounts will not be adjusted to account for changes in the value of the U.S. dollar or foreign currency from the time your Transaction was submitted.

In other words...kung u paid via paypal, eh di refund nila sa imo paypal. There is no other company that will IMMEDIATELY refund because there will still be investigations blah blah. As to kung bakit di ka sinabihan na makakaltas ba ang 500usd from your account...did you ask?

In the first place, that was your mistake. They are not thieves and you know it. In my TWO years of dealing with them, never pa ako ninakawan so please be very careful with your comments kay baka makiha na nuon ka ana.

Pasalamat ka sa XOOM ka nagpadala at nagkamali...kung WESTERN UNION PA KA...... these are the terms for refunds:

REFUNDS OF PRINCIPAL AMOUNT and cancellation of the money transfer will be made upon written request of the Sender if payment to the Receiver has not yet been made at the time the request is processed by Western Union. REFUNDS OF TRANSFER FEES will be made upon written request of the Sender if the money transfer is not available to the Receiver within the time specified by Western Union for the selected service, subject to the hours of operation that the Service is offered at the Agent location selected by the Receiver for payment and other special conditions. Refunds will be made within 45 days of receipt of a valid written request from the Sender. http://www.westernunion.com/WUCOMWEB...nc&method=load

Na tignan mo? FORTY-FIVE DAYS didto.
