00:00Mine.
00:02What if in the middle of your online mining of Christmas gifts for your family, friends, or yourself,
00:08suddenly someone sends a PM and asks for something that you can only mine with your own hands?
00:16It turns out that this is not a seller and moreover, it is not a miner.
00:21This is a scammer who goes around the lives of an online seller.
00:25He watches who is mining and directly sends a message to the customer
00:29so that they will get mad and send the payment to their account number.
00:35You better watch out and you really might cry because the scammer is watching this live with you.
00:46In the middle of a live of an online seller, there is a copycat who has a bad plan.
00:52He copied the Facebook business page and the seller's personal account
00:56and even used his name and profile pic.
01:00While the real seller is selling, the scammer is busy with the miners.
01:09On November 26 of this year, the online seller Charmaine went live
01:13to sell the imported clothes that she bought in Thailand.
01:17Let's go to the next item.
01:19For only P3.99, it's small to XL.
01:22These are cotton.
01:24But in the middle of her non-stop walking,
01:27she was so mad when she noticed the comments of her followers.
01:31There are people who noticed us commenting,
01:34are you going to pay now?
01:36Or are you going to make a down payment to be able to mine?
01:39I answered, of course not.
01:41Because all of our miners will pay after the live.
01:46Charmaine ended her business that day.
01:50After a whole day of sales talk,
01:53she found out that more than half of her hard-earned money that day
01:58did not go into her account.
02:00What happened was, the scammer was watching while I was live.
02:05He was waiting for the miners
02:08to pay and send the payment to their account number.
02:13She also found out the account used by the scammer,
02:16the name and look of the official account of her online store.
02:20Because they copied my followers.
02:23They are so smart,
02:25they took all the identities of our store
02:29to scam others.
02:31What I have in front of me now
02:33are two accounts of an online shop.
02:36If you notice, there is almost no difference.
02:39But one of them is a fake account.
02:42This is the legit account.
02:45As you can see, it has 14,000 likes.
02:51It also has 20,000 followers.
02:55Meanwhile, in this account,
02:58there is also the same information,
03:00but what's different in this account
03:03is that it is only typed.
03:05And when you click,
03:06no followers or friends appear.
03:12On November 26 of this year,
03:14Charmaine's online store went live.
03:16Let's go to the next item.
03:18But in the middle of her non-stop walking,
03:21she noticed the comments of her other followers.
03:25We noticed some comments
03:28asking if they are going to pay.
03:30She found out that more than half of her hard-earned money
03:34did not go into her account.
03:38The scammer was watching while I was live.
03:41He was waiting for the miners
03:44so that they would be able to pay
03:46and send the money to their account number.
03:49According to Charmaine's estimate,
03:51she was fined less than Php 50,000
03:55by an unidentified scammer
03:57for being a live seller for 6 years.
04:00This is the worst experience she has ever experienced.
04:04Since I started live selling,
04:06he really changed my life
04:08because I experienced being an OFW for 6 years.
04:12I did not get the savings from being an OFW.
04:17You work hard for a good collection
04:20that you are going to release.
04:22And you are so tired that you have to arrange stocks.
04:25I will make a video and you will smile
04:27even if you are really tired.
04:29Because of what happened,
04:30Charmaine's business is now affected.
04:32We went bankrupt before November 26.
04:35Almost half of it was lost.
04:37Every live selling,
04:39we lost Php 100,000 to Php 115,000.
04:43The biggest loss was Php 130,000.
04:45After that scam,
04:47we lost only Php 50,000.
04:51It was really hard for me to do live selling
04:53because I have other things to do.
04:56These are the miners.
04:58We expected more
05:02because Christmas is coming.
05:05Now, it's a bit sad
05:08because we have a scammer with us.
05:12A miner from Davao City, Maricel,
05:14was attacked by Recibo.
05:17Ma'am, what happened?
05:18Please tell us.
05:19When I was watching her live,
05:22I was mining.
05:24When I was mining,
05:26someone messaged me
05:28with a message request.
05:30What I saw was Charmaine's name
05:32so I clicked on it.
05:34I saw the form
05:36that I have to fill up.
05:38I asked,
05:39is this you, ma'am?
05:40Are you one of Ma'am Charmaine?
05:42This is what I paid for.
05:45She said, yes, ma'am.
05:47Because Ma'am Charmaine's account was full.
05:50I believed her right away.
05:52Maricel was shocked
05:54because after paying Php 900,
05:56no parcel arrived to her.
05:59What pushed you to continue paying?
06:02I thought of it right away.
06:04I said, what's happening?
06:06Why did it happen right away?
06:08I really don't know.
06:09How did you feel after?
06:11I felt ashamed because of the money.
06:13Even if it's just a small amount,
06:14it's a big deal for me.
06:16Because of what happened,
06:17Charmaine called her followers.
06:19So there, Mi.
06:20It's already pinned there.
06:22You'll just pay there
06:23with our account number.
06:25We don't use other accounts.
06:27There.
06:28That's how they invoice.
06:30They have that format.
06:32Our format is not like that
06:33in our invoices.
06:35Be careful with those scammers.
06:37December 10,
06:38together with the receipt,
06:40Charmaine went to the National Bureau of Investigation
06:43to formally file a complaint.
06:46Through the details of the electronic wallet
06:49given by Scammer D'Umano,
06:51the operatives will determine

07:28for these cases
07:29if proven guilty.
07:31There is no suspect or lead for now.
07:34Charmaine is more confident
07:35that she's back to her life.
07:37I feel like I'm breathing again
07:39because I've already started a step
07:42to catch the victims of my customers
07:47and to clear the name of my business.
