🚨 SCAM ALERT: Please Read and Share to Protect Others! 🚨
Today, we fell victim to a sophisticated scam on Facebook Marketplace, and we’re sharing our story to raise awareness and prevent others from being scammed.
What Happened?
Someone messaged us asking for 50 sacks of Perfect Grain Hasmin Rice to be delivered to Laurel, Batangas.
We were referred to a person named Charmel S. Anieves, who claimed to be the nephew of a supposed police officer named Niño Rodriguez.
My husband, trusting the order, woke up at 2 AM to process it with our supplier.
Upon arriving at the delivery location, we discovered Charmel S. Anieves was a scammer acting as a middleman, posing as a legitimate business owner.
Thankfully, we contacted the real store owner in time to avoid making any payments. We retrieved the 50 sacks of rice but lost PHP 5,000 due to transportation costs.
The Scammer’s Tactics:
Uses 13 fake Facebook accounts (and possibly more) to pose as real business owners.
Harasses victims with angry emojis and negative comments on their pages to intimidate them.
Acts as a middleman to trick sellers into delivering goods without payment.
