00:00 The Philippines is leading in the number of shopping scams in Asia.
00:05 According to a study, experts say there are simple ways to avoid getting caught,
00:11 especially now that Christmas is coming.
00:13 Let's find out with the help of Oscar Oida.
00:16 During the pandemic, Ana had no job when she was encouraged by a Facebook ad
00:25 to invest to earn quickly.
00:27 "Your 150 will be 300, your 300 will be 500.
00:32 You just need to be patient. You won't do anything."
00:35 She was earning from the start until she raised the investment.
00:40 The 20,000 pesos will become 80,000 pesos.
00:45 She was even deceived by other people.
00:48 "But that night when we were asking, we just slept the next day,
00:53 her Facebook account was deactivated. She couldn't contact us and we lost contact."
00:59 Ate Susan is 61 years old.
01:02 She ordered a form-fitting bag online.
01:06 She was excited when the package arrived.
01:09 But when she opened it, it was a tote bag.
01:13 "This is the order.
01:15 Then when it arrived, it was a letter from Oida.
01:22 Wow!"
01:24 She tried contacting the supplier, but he didn't answer.
01:29 Based on the research of a non-profit organization, Global Anti-Scam Alliance,
01:35 and a Taiwan-based tech company,
01:37 it was found that 11 countries in the region were surveyed in Asia.
01:43 The Philippines has the highest rate of shopping scam.
01:47 In text message, social media, and email,
01:51 it's the most common way to scam.
01:55 And why are Filipinos scammed?
01:58 Because they respond to the demand of scammers.
02:02 Or they are tempted by special offers.
02:05 "There are three factors that scammers use to exploit us or to deceive us.
02:11 First, our curiosity.
02:13 Second, they do our fear or our anxiety.
02:18 So, you message that your account will be deactivated if you don't verify your identity.
02:24 You have to click.
02:26 When you click, you will be taken to a fake page.
02:28 The third factor is greed.
02:30 We expect that we will earn a lot."
02:33 Based on the research, only a few of the victims report to the authorities.
02:39 But there are simple countermeasures to avoid being cut off.
02:43 "Be a snob."
02:45 "Be a snob.
02:46 If someone offers you a job or a good opportunity or good items,
02:54 you don't know them, but as soon as they approach you, you snob them."
02:57 "Be a gambler."
02:59 "We don't know each other.
03:00 Suddenly, he offers us good things and jobs."
03:03 "And be a gambler."
03:06 "If you don't snob, other people will scam you again."
03:10 And now, Christmas is just around the corner.
03:12 When will many people shop for gifts?
03:16 PNP reminds those who will buy online,
03:20 "Be careful.
03:21 Deal with authorized online selling applications.
03:28 Make sure that you have a warranty for what you are buying.
03:32 Once you send money, your in-order will reach you."
03:38 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida,
03:42 Tune in for 24 hours.
