00:00Dear viewers, in the coming month of love, the number of victims of love scams are increasing.
00:06That's why the authorities are warning to be alert to the red flag so that true love will not be stolen.
00:12Oscar Oida is on the scene.
00:18Handsome, tall, handsome, and above all, very sweet.
00:23Those are just a few of the reasons why the fall happened so fast.
00:27Juliette, who used to be an OFW, is no longer her real name.
00:30She became Romeo Online when a Norwegian serviceman introduced her to a dating app.
00:37He's fair-skinned, sir. He's fair-skinned, a bit blonde. His hair is different.
00:42His eyes are beautiful. They're like blue-blue.
00:44He's charming.
00:46Of course, he'll call you baby. I've never experienced that.
00:50But as time went by, Juliette noticed that her online Romeo was becoming too popular.
00:58He asked for my full name, my salary for a month.
01:02It seems like she's also allergic to calls or video calls.
01:06I said, can we video call for just five minutes? I just want to see your face.
01:12He really doesn't want to. He's just doing it. He's just sending pictures.
01:16She became even more doubtful when it came to the point where she was asking for money.
01:21And when she said that she didn't have money to give.
01:25He even told me, borrow from your boss. Tell him it's an emergency.
01:29At this point, Juliette realized that it's not true love, but a love scam.
01:37I thought he was real, but he's a scammer.
01:40Maybe it's ugly, but it's true.
01:44If it's too handsome, it's hard.
01:47Loving and hardworking.
01:49The Filipinos we know who are often taken advantage of by those behind the so-called love scams.
01:57Or the modus of getting to know each other online.
02:00Make love until you're out of money.
02:05We're all very emotional.
02:09And because of this attitude, you can be programmed in the AI.
02:14How can I take advantage of Filipinos?
02:17We're already profiled and they know we're highly vulnerable.
02:21And they know Filipinos are hardworking, that's why there's a lot of savings.
02:26That's why we're targeted.
02:28According to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center or CICC,
02:33every February, up to 15 Filipinos are victimized by love scams every day.
02:39That's why it's important to detect red flags or signals that the person you're talking to is a love scammer.
02:47Red flag number one, the picture.
02:50Too perfect to be true.
02:52His profile pic is so aesthetic.
02:56And there are no tagged photos or friends of real people.
03:01Red flag if he seems allergic to video calls.
03:06He doesn't want to talk on the phone and always has a reason not to meet.
03:11And the most red flag of all, when he asks for money.
03:16Even if there's an emergency or he doesn't want to invest.
03:20That's why our profiles are so important.
03:25This is for a spot.
03:27Because the problem is most love scams are LDR, foreigners.
03:35So there's no chance to meet.
03:37That's why guys, remember.
03:39Love is real.
03:41But so are the scammers.
03:43That's why be extra careful.
03:45Protect not only your hearts, but also your pockets.
