01:49 You see? Because it shows how much the offer is worth.
01:51 It's from P1,500 to P3,000 daily.
01:55 A day? Think about it. If, for example, 5 days a week, you have P3,000,
02:00 -then you have P15,000 per week. -Yes, sir.
02:02 That's a lot!
02:04 Paula, not just chatting, you talked about your transaction online, right?
02:10 -Yes, sir. -Did you record the conversation? What did you talk about?
02:13 More on how you will do the task.
02:16 Actually, there was no interview.
02:19 -So, the transaction was done very quickly. -So, when you received the message,
02:22 -you immediately agreed and you were given the task? -Yes, sir.
02:25 So, in a matter of maybe overnight or 24 hours?
02:30 -It was only 10 minutes. -10 minutes?
02:32 -You earned it right away? -Yes, sir. It was that quick.
02:34 You're really a good person.
02:36 Before this encounter, you were scammed 30,000 times.
02:42 How did that happen?
02:43 It was done online, but the attack was different.
02:50 Initially, we asked for 2,500.
02:55 -Okay. -And then, it didn't just double, it was bigger.
02:59 So, we went in again until we reached 30,000.
03:02 So, wait. You have a task, but you're the one who will pay?
03:05 How will it happen? What will be the demand?
03:09 First, they will give you six tasks.
03:12 And then, on the seventh task, they will give you an opportunity.
03:17 They will say, "We can double your investment.
03:20 Just choose the plan you want."
03:23 So, from 1,000 pesos, they will do 2,000.
03:27 Until 8,000, they will do 15,000, 16,000, 20,000.
03:31 Okay.
03:32 So, we're showing you the exchanges.
03:37 -Yes, sir. -That's part of your exchanges.
03:38 The demand and the exchange, etc.
03:42 So, it will just disappear.
03:43 For example, you already gave 30,000,
03:46 and it just disappeared. Is that so?
03:48 Yes.
03:49 It just disappeared.
03:51 I hope that those who are watching this
03:53 can still catch up and not give up.
03:56 Maybe you're already scammed, but you don't know yet.
03:59 What's happening to you is like what's happening to Paula.
04:02 At this point, we will talk to Jocel de Guzman of Scamwatch Philippines.
04:07 Jocel, good morning.
04:10 Good morning, Ivan. Good morning to all the viewers.
04:13 -Thank you for coming here. -First of all,
04:15 Jocel, this so-called tasking scam, like what happened to Paula,
04:19 have you heard a lot of cases about this?
04:21 The mere fact that there's a Scamwatch Philippines like this
04:25 tells us something.
04:26 It means that they're really looking for this.
04:28 But just like Paula's tasking scam,
04:30 do you have a lot of similar cases?
04:33 There are people who report, especially in 1326, in the CICC.
04:38 Those who we encountered there,
04:40 what they do is when they get caught,
04:43 when they become victims, when they have given money,
04:46 that's when they report.
04:48 So what we do is our education is prevention.
04:51 Because if you already got money, even if you report it,
04:56 more likely you won't be able to recover your money.
04:59 Because that task scam,
05:02 what the viewers should think about is
05:05 when you're applying for a job,
05:08 it's not like the job is going to you.
05:11 Because the sending of SMS is random.
05:14 Now, they're using OTT because we have SIM card registration law.
05:19 They will give you address to say that they're legitimate.
05:23 After that, when you join, they will remove you from other platforms.
05:28 There are cases that when you're in the chat group,
05:32 there are a lot of people who will not only show you that the task is completed.
05:37 When you chat with others, they won't answer you.
05:40 Because all the people in that chat group,
05:42 to make you feel that you're not alone,
05:45 are also your fellow citizens.
05:47 So the first thing that will happen is...
05:49 Paula is hiding because that's how she's experiencing it.
05:54 So the next thing that will happen is,
05:58 they will namefy you and give you a task.
06:01 The first thing you can earn there is around 600.
06:04 Around 600 to 1,000.
06:06 After that, you will level up.
06:09 When you level up, they will ask for more from you.
06:12 Because you also need to give money.
06:14 So you will be accepted again.
06:16 But the money you will give is higher.
06:19 The problem here is,
06:21 the difference with other text scams or messaging scams,
06:26 you will be accepted with money.
06:27 So the victims, let's say you have a friend,
06:32 it's not true because I received 120 and then followed.
06:37 I was going to point out, Josel,
06:39 that this is common in cases.
06:42 You will be put in jail first.
06:43 You will get something initially.
06:45 You will earn.
06:46 So you will really get something.
06:48 Until such time that you are the one who is giving money and you are the one who is being scammed.
06:53 Josel, it's normal for people to do remote work.
06:58 But what are the possible signs of being scammed?
07:03 All the jobs that you receive in the text,
07:06 all the job scams that you are not looking for,
07:10 the one that came to you, the one that came to your phone,
07:13 that's a scam.
07:14 Because if you are looking for a job,
07:16 either they post it on their Facebook page
07:22 or on their website.
07:24 But the one that will come to you,
07:26 the one that will come to you,
07:28 the job that you are looking for,
07:30 is the post scam.
07:32 Is there any?
07:34 What happens there,
07:36 what happens there,
07:38 they use AI.
07:40 So random numbers.
07:42 So AI.
07:44 So you were not chosen,
07:46 let's say Ivan,
07:48 I know your number, I messaged you,
07:50 they will do random numbers,
07:54 for example, 09175.
07:56 So all the numbers in 09175 will appear in a column.
08:00 Then what will happen here,
08:02 all of that will be put in messages.
08:04 If there's an answer,
08:06 it means that the line is active.
08:10 So if you answer that number,
08:12 you can send other scams using other numbers,
08:16 even if you block it.
08:18 So the ones that don't answer,
08:20 will say hello, hello.
08:22 Maybe for the viewers,
08:24 are there certain basic questions
08:26 that you need to ask
08:28 to anyone who approaches you?
08:30 So you can also know,
08:32 maybe it's an opportunity,
08:34 but to know if it's a scam or not.
08:36 Actually, what we're teaching now,
08:38 because a lot of people are scamming,
08:40 we lack in attitude.
08:42 So the attitude that we're teaching,
08:44 the first one is to snob.
08:46 If you're not looking for it,
08:48 and it comes to you,
08:50 you should also snob first.
08:52 Because in this time,
08:54 we should be careful.
08:56 So even if it's an opportunity
08:58 that suddenly comes to your cell phone,
09:00 it's a guaranteed scam.
09:02 Even loan scams,
09:04 it's really targeted.
09:06 The job scam is a bit different
09:08 because when you apply for a job,
09:10 you're the one who will look for companies,
09:12 you're the one who will look for jobs,
09:14 you're the one who will look for websites.
09:16 This comes to you,
09:18 and they don't ask for your qualification.
09:20 As long as you don't look for it,
09:22 they will approach you,
09:24 it's a guaranteed scam.
09:26 If you win the raffle,
09:28 you didn't get involved,
09:30 it's a scam.
09:32 Paula, maybe you want a parting shot,
09:34 what lesson did you learn from this episode
09:36 that you want to share with our viewers?
09:38 Like what Sir Josel said,
09:40 don't trust immediately.
09:42 You can search their company name
09:44 so you can know
09:46 if they're legit or not.
09:48 Quick Google search.
09:50 Sir Josel, maybe you have a message
09:52 for our viewers so they can avoid scams.
09:54 It's just like this,
09:56 let's listen to what we learned.
09:58 What we want is for people to be careful
10:00 online, how they take care
10:02 outside.
10:04 First of all, don't talk to strangers.
10:06 If you don't know each other,
10:08 don't talk to them, tell them.
10:10 Most importantly,
10:12 if you encounter such a person,
10:14 report the numbers to CICC,
10:16 Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center
10:18 at 1326.
10:20 We have an online scam hotline,
10:22 that's the government.
10:24 Sir Josel de Guzman, thank you very much
10:26 for your time.
10:28 Sir Josel of Scam Watch Philippines.
10:30 Thank you for sharing your story,
10:32 Pauline, to give
10:34 awareness to our viewers
10:36 about this kind of scam.
10:38 If you are also a victim of a scammer,
10:40 share it with us so we can all be alert.
10:42 Scam alert.
10:44 Scam alert.
