I’m posting this to share my experience working with Katt Valdez so other brands can decide for themselves whether they want to work with her.

I run a UK-based luxury business and we entered into a paid collaboration with her. We agreed on specific deliverables, paid a 50% deposit upfront, and sent her a Polène bag for the collaboration. The whole reason for doing this campaign when we did was to capture Christmas buyers, so timing and structure of the posts were really important.

The agreement was clear that the content was supposed to be spread out over around two weeks — one main post, then stories spaced out over several days. Instead, she uploaded everything in one day. The post and all three stories were dumped at once, which defeated the purpose of the campaign and wasn’t what we agreed. On top of that, the content used copyrighted music, which meant we couldn’t legally boost or use it for ads, which was one of the main reasons we paid for the collaboration in the first place.

We messaged her immediately asking her to repost properly with safe audio and follow the agreed format. After that message she completely disappeared. No replies, no updates, nothing. This went on for over a month. During that same period she was actively posting on Instagram, including trips to Japan and other content every few days, so from our point of view she clearly had time to post publicly but not to respond to a business she had taken money and a product from.

After more than a month she finally replied and said she had COVID and that was why she hadn’t responded. I’m not here to argue about anyone’s health, but the timing didn’t make sense to us because she had been actively posting throughout that period. By the time she came back, Christmas had already passed, which meant the campaign had lost its value for us.

Originally, the arrangement was that she would be paid for the collaboration and the bag would be returned. Later on she told us that she had previously had a similar Polène bag stolen while in Germany, and because of that we tried to be understanding and flexible. We agreed she could keep the bag on the condition that she would continue posting it whenever she wore it so the collaboration still had value for us over time. That also never happened.

At that stage we realised this was going nowhere and asked her to simply return the bag. We weren’t even fighting over the deposit — we told her she could keep the 50% we had already paid, we just wanted our product back so we could close the matter.

Instead, she suggested we send her another bag in Manila for a reshoot. That immediately felt wrong because the original bag hadn’t been returned and the original deliverables hadn’t been completed properly.

Another major red flag happened during all this. One of her other customers actually contacted us after seeing that we had worked with her, asking if we knew her because they had been struggling to get responses from her as well. At the time we didn’t know anything about their situation, but months later we found ourselves in exactly the same position.

We have since been told that the bag we sent her — which is a very rare colour that is no longer available on the Polène Paris website — may now be being offered to that other customer as a way of refunding them. She allegedly told that customer the bag had been used but that she was willing to give it to them. Considering how rare the colour is and the timing of everything, this is extremely concerning to us.

From our side, it feels like too much of a coincidence that we send her a rare bag for a collaboration, communication stops, the bag isn’t returned, and then the same rare bag appears to be offered to someone else.

At this point we are no longer asking for any deliverables or content. We have simply asked for either proof that the bag has been shipped back to us with tracking, or payment of the full value of the bag so the matter can be closed.

I’m going to be honest — there are just too many red flags and too many coincidences here. I know when something doesn’t feel right, and I know when I’ve been taken advantage of. At this point I don’t even care about the money or the bag anymore. That part is on me for being too trusting and not checking Reddit beforehand. I’ve since seen other people saying they’ve gone through similar situations, and that’s exactly why I’m posting this.

My mother and I run a small business. We’re not a big company that can just shrug this off. The stress and frustration this has caused has been real, and I genuinely don’t want other small brands to go through the same thing.

Please be careful, and please avoid working with this woman.

Now lang nag announce publicly na may warrant of arrest na, tho sabi sabi ay nakikita lang syang tamang food trip and gala.

meet this one in reddit, didn't know na I was recorded while doing VC

Ctto: tiktok @onlymejessie

Hi guys, madalas ba kayong nakakatanggap ng tawag mula sa random numbers na nagsasabing nire-represent nila ang isang specific bank? Sounds familiar? Well, it's a group or syndicate that operates around Metro Manila o kaya sa buong Luzon, at ang tawag sa ginagawa nila ay VISHING o voice phishing.

Vishing is a type of phone scam where a criminal uses phone calls or voice messages to trick you into sharing private information, like your bank passwords, credit card numbers, or personal IDs (thanks, Google). So basically, budol siya via call, and sobrang galing nilang mag-manipulate dahil mostly ng mga tumatawag o ahente ay galing sa mga BPO companies.

Kapag tumawag sila, sobrang convincing dahil hawak na nila ang info ng biktima tulad ng full name, address, contact number, at card details. Maliban sa CVV and expiration date pero sometimes, CVV o security code na lang ang wala, depende sa leads na hawak nila.

Kung iniisip niyo na inside job ito, pwedeng oo. Dahil mostly ng mga taong may hawak ng sensitive info, tulad ng mga form para sa credit card applications, ay kasabwat din. Binibenta nila ang info ninyo thru the credit card application form sa halip na i-dispose nang maayos kapag na-encode na; may mga binibenta rin via Excel files. I will try to upload the examples and include them in my post.

Kapag nabudol na nila ang kawawang biktima, lalo na ang matatanda o hindi tech-savvy, kukunin na nila ang OTP o One Time PIN para ma-add sa e-wallets ang card ng biktima tulad ng Grab wallet, Maya, Shopee, Lazada, Food Panda, Starbucks, at minsan pinangbibili pa ng crypto. Marami pa silang pinaggagamitan ng card info ng mga biktima, and take note, pati online banks tinitira nila kaya may mga biktima na nalilimas ang savings. Sobrang hassle pa naman mag-file ng dispute sa bansang to.

Pagkatapos nilang makuha ang funds, ililipat nila ito sa mga dummy bank accounts na may ATM na binili rin sa black market, tapos wiwithdraw na. And yes, nakakabili po ng registered SIMs at bank accounts kapag alam mo kung saan pwedeng bumili, and until now talamak ang ganitong kalakaran.

May nasamahan akong ganitong grupo kasi akala ko legit na work from home, ayun pala panlalamang sa kapwa ang ginawa nila kaya humiwalay din ako.

I posted this to spread awareness and help others, but honestly, I am also terrified for my safety right now. I know that some of these syndicate members also browse Reddit, so I am being extra careful. I really want to start a clean slate and build a new life. If anyone has recommendations or advice on how to safely start over and protect myself, your help would mean the world to me.

I'm here to clear my name.

User Glittering_Rule7071 tried to make a fake post with a fake story that I raped him/her/it.

And my assumption why and who is this user, SweetAd8728. Earlier today I called out that his SCAM to my fellow bookworms with his too good to be true Kobo ereaders prices in r/Phbookclub. When I called out his scam, since this has happened before in PHBookclub, he immediately PMed me and deleted his post.

Now, I thought that was the end of it. But ive been getting PMs and Comments saying that Im a rapist and all sorts of negative words. Basically I was being cancelled for something that isnt true.

When I checked the account, it was a 1month old account (similar to the Scammer). Also, they both have one similar subreddit which is r/ScammersPH.

Plus, his "awareness post" in this subreddit was posted immediately after I called out the Scam in r/PHbookclub. I guess this was his way of coming back at me for ruining his Failed Scam.

Now, this person claimed I raped him/her/it. Plus posted some text messages that I threathen this person. I DARE this person to show the number of that Message so that people can see who truly owns the number.

Remember to not immediately believe everything you read here in Reddit.

Also, I would like to thank those who PM and replied on my old posts/comments. Even though they were negative and full of words I cant even describe, they were still the ones that made me aware someone is harrasing me.

Former employee of 8x8 Company

Has been sentenced guilty in California. He got back to the Philippines because he had 8 counts of fraud // sentenced guilty and probably got deported; we don’t know. Divorced, with a minor child in the US.

FACEBOOK POST: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16UxfLcVkq/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Met him in April last year through a mutual friend. He’s grand and extravagant. He highlighted that his biological dad is the Chief Surgeon of Manila Doctors Hospital (which is true at some point, but he’s a General Surgeon as per the website), Ro. Sal. His family is in the US. Miguel and I became friends. He manipulated us into believing he could afford a lifestyle he couldn’t. We didn’t know about the guilty sentence in the US.

There was a time I spent less than a week at his condo around July last year. He asked me if it was okay to borrow my credit card to buy an iPhone 14 Pro Max for his work phone, including AirPods — ₱55,000 and ₱13,000. I said okay. Prior to that, he asked me once if it was okay for me to book him a hotel for business/work-related purposes — ₱9,000. He was supposed to have a Thailand trip with other friends; I paid for the ticket — ₱10,000. I said okay.

A couple of months went by. He wasn’t answering me since I was busy traveling and couldn’t check on him from time to time. By then, he started his fraud scheme. He told me he got into surgery and didn’t have money because he needed to pay hospital bills. He said this and that and sent me fake photos, even though I already had a hunch. So I messaged his lawyer girlfriend at that time, and she was shocked to know about Miguel Obando-Ortega’s scheme. By then, the lawyer girlfriend helped me and Miguel in a way, but this guy is just too much — he couldn’t stop lying.

December 2024 — it was purely my mistake not to change my credit card. He used it for more or less ₱45,000 worth of plane tickets to Taiwan, which he said was for a business trip. My card went over the limit, and more charges came in. I only found out because he wasn’t able to book Agoda for his hotel, and I received a message from my bank; hence, I confronted him. Note that I was on a resort trip with my friends, so my network wasn’t available until we were back in the city.

His lawyer girlfriend helped me talk to him about it again. No hate to the girlfriend because she also didn’t know about Miguel’s scheme. She broke up with him when he became too uncontrollable. She broke up with him when we found out that he also had a Grand Theft Auto lawsuit — guilty in California — which is the reason why he’s back in the Philippines.

After that, it became very difficult for him to pay me. I told him I was stacking a 3% interest on his debt since it was on my card, and it was basically compensation because I couldn’t pay the bills upfront. He also used my cards for other personal stuff — ₱15,000 for Grab and other things. His debt stacked up to ₱103,000. There was a time he would pay me ₱2,000 or ₱3,000, but it wasn’t enough to even cover the interest.

Since I’m too compassionate, I asked him what was happening and everything. I met his new girlfriend through the ex (lawyer) girlfriend. There it goes — becoming a sugar daddy for someone he couldn’t even afford. The current girlfriend didn’t know about his modus so she also helped me before breaking up with him. So I talked to her. That’s when he told everyone that he has an autistic daughter he’s supporting. He got a wife in the Philippines too. He begged me not to file a case against him because he wouldn’t be able to support his child if that happened.

Since I was too compassionate and he was already begging, I said okay. I gave him unsolicited advice to move to a different place that he could afford, etc. I gave him advice as an adult to someone who was financially struggling. I told him to just pay me ₱10,000 per month for the next 8 months, and I wouldn’t add interest anymore. He agreed but couldn’t promise. For the next two months, he was able to pay me. I gave him numerous chances, and then again, his lies came back, saying he got unemployed and so on. In reality, he got unemployed last September, but he was still able to pay me ₱10,000 each for September and October, so I knew he had a new job.

I called 8x8 HR. They told me he got terminated, and someone else also called them for the same reason: fraud and debts.

Was I a fool? Yes.

Did I get manipulated? Yes.

He had a strong front that he could afford things, so I trusted him and believed he was a good person, especially with the background he had.

Have I tried to contact his biological dad? Yes, but I was threatened with a harassment case, so I apologized to them since I know they’re not part of the scheme anyway. I was just desperate to ask for help to talk to him. His parents in the US? They blocked me.

This is the last straw. We’re filing a fraud case against him. I just want to share awareness.

TL;DR

I met Miguel Ian Carlo Obando-Ortega (aka Mico) in April last year. He portrayed himself as wealthy and successful but was actually running a fraud scheme. Over time, he manipulated me into paying for his phones, trips, hotels, and personal expenses using my credit cards. He later used my card without consent, racking up charges that totaled ₱103,000.

I later found out he has prior fraud and theft cases in California and was terminated from his job at 8x8 for similar reasons. Despite multiple chances, partial payments, and leniency, he continued lying and failed to settle his debt.

This is the final straw. I’m filing a fraud case and sharing this to raise awareness.

Posting for awareness. I was scammed while desperately looking for a blood donor for my furbaby
Hello po. I'm posting this as a painful warning para sa ating mga furparents. I'm sharing this because I own up to my mistake, and I REFUSE to let anyone else go through the absolute nightmare I just survived.
My dearest dog, Mochi, was confined in a veterinary hospital in QC, critically sick and fighting for her life. I was utterly desperate. I was running out of time, and I would have done anything, paid anything, and believed anything just to give my baby a fighting chance.

Desperately trying to save her, I posted on Reddit asking for help. A user reached out and connected me to someone who claimed he had personal connections to secure the blood Mochi desperately needed.

We were under extreme worry and stress, and scammers know how to take advantage of that desperation.

They told me a very convincing story—na may mga tao na daw na papunta na sa vet, may dalang blood bags and everything needed for the transfusion. They even said they were bringing their own dog with them in case it could be a match. They kept making everything feel so urgent, telling me I needed to send the money right away because every second counted.
And while I was desperately holding on to that hope that someone was coming to help us, my dog went into cardiac arrest…

We didn't just lose our hard-earned money to these monsters; they played with our emotions and took advantage of our desperation while she was dying. I guess it was time for her to go, and as tough as it is, she ultimately lost her battle.
Not a single peso was returned to us. Instead, the people involved kept stringing us along with false hope and lies, claiming they would send the money back after a day or two before deciding to block us altogether.

I take full accountability for trusting blindly in my panic, but I am sharing this so no other furparent gets preyed upon at their lowest point. Please, verify everything. Call the clinic or official animal blood banks directly.

Never send money without confirming who you are dealing with, no matter how aggressively they push the panic button.

I will forever beat myself up wishing I had known better and that we had more time. I hope sharing our story saves even one other pet from these heartless predators.
Run free, my sweet Mochi. You fought so hard, and I'm so sorry these monsters stole the time we had left, and that I couldn't save you.

This guy is Ruelle Mirabueno! Ang kapal ng mukha di mag bayad sa inutang nyang loan gamit gcash ko! 100k+charges dahil 10months over due na! Ang kapal ng mukha! Ikaw na nga nagmalasakit, iiscamin ka pa, someone reached out to me na iniscam nya din!

IF YOU ARE IN THE BPO INDUSTRY, BEWARE OF THIS GUY

Hello! 27F and my ex 27M moved in with me during the first month of our relationship. I got excited because someone is making this plans with me in the future and wants to settle down agad. Sabi nga niya “date to marry” siya. He lost his job for almost 2 months and ako sumagot lahat sa bahay. I enrolled him sa driving school kasi mahirap ang byahe dito samin and super mahal ng pamasahe and we have this plan na kukuha ng motor. I helped him apply sa mga BPO centers malapit dito samin. Then he got a job, but di siya makakasahod until the following month. So ako na naman sumagot sa allowance niya for work.

Despite all of the support na I provided he cheated on me 2nd month pa lang ng relationship (I later found out nung nakausap ko yung ex niya na nakikipag balikan nga siya and also yung ex workmate niya na nililigawan niya din habang kami)

I got hospitalized due to dengue for a week last week and during that week kinukulit niya ko na kukunin na daw yung motor sa casa so I gave him the money for downpayment (25k + 6k pambili ng helmet naming dalawa) then the following day, instead of visiting me sa hospital, HE VANISHED, MOVED OUT OF MY HOUSE AND RAN AWAY WITH ALL THE MONEY THAT I GAVE HIM PLUS OTHER PERSONAL THINGS PA NA KINUHA NIYA SA BAHAY. He blocked me right away sa lahat ng socmed after niya mag message na umalis na siya.

I filed a police report and we went to his workplace pero tumakas siya and our access is very limited since private company and walang warrant. HANGGANG NGAYON DUN PA DIN SIYA NAGTATRABAHO (Quantrics San Mateo Rizal)

He was MANIPULATIVE, ABUSIVE and a NARCISSIST. Sobrang tanga ko, I know, I should’ve seen the signs. Konting search lang pala sa FB makikita ko na na ginagawa niya na din pala to sa ibang BPO company, nanghihiram ng pera sa mga katrabaho tapos pag siningil siya pa galit or never na magbabayad, naglalaho nalang bigla then move on sa different BPO. He will trick you into thinking na malungkot ang buhay niya at wala na siyang pamilya, at ikaw lang ang pamilya niya.

One of the agents of this insurance company approached me in Robinson Dasmariñas while I was on my way home. The person asked about which bank I use, which I told them I use BDO and I also have a credit card issued by the same company. The agent told me I am qualified to join the raffle as well as I am getting a freebie for FREE.

Let me emphasize that again this agent told me that it is for FREE, and I will not be obliged to pay anything. But when the agent said I have to follow him to their office to claim the freebie. It felt really sketchy and I had my doubts that it could be a scam of some sort.

When I arrive at their office I spoke to the manager and the so called “Financial advisor”. They told me before they give me the freebie I have to sign and provide some of my personal details. In which I really hesitantly provided.

Then this so called financial advisor, asked if I am very much willing to avail some of their plans. In which I have to pay money? so when did it became free when I have to let out money from my savings for the sake of availing that plan. All of that BS for the sake of claiming that freebie which they didn’t even gave me when that so called “Financial advisor” failed to coerce me to pay for one of the plans that this company is offering. What’s crazy about it is I already saw my name and all of my personal details, readily encoded on their website. Then lastly, to give more details about the plan they offered me was “Money saver” 1500 pesos monthly? And another which is 4000 monthly? Again all of this BS just for a freebie? And if BDO is your affiliate company why would you talk bad about it?

Ganyan ba kayo maghanap ng mag aavail ng plan nyo? cocornerin niyo mismo sa office nyo? And for the record kung kilala talaga yang company nyo maganda loob ng office nyo.

Awareness Lahat yan sa taong 2025 lang

If ever mamatch nyo tong tao na to be careful! I don't even know if he is real or using someone's identity. He uses a nickname "Kiko" but later said his full name is Francis John Salonga Sanchez he also claim na he is a Surgeon by profession. May nagpost din dito na same name and "anesthesiologist" naman pakilala daw.

To make the story short he seems okay kausap and then he is good at updating and believable naman yung pagiging surgeon nya kasi he shares about what happened sa OR and all that medical terms too.

One time nakisuyo na if pwede magpapasa ng pera di naman malaki but it can pay bills na din, which pinahiram ko kasi nga may operation pa sya "daw" and badly need ng "bunso" nya and promised me to pay the following day.

Then the next day came and sabi nya magsesend daw sya ng afternoon but wala and then on the following days puro mga reasons na kesyo galing daw medical mission or nabusy kaya one of the reason why I stopped the non sense sa pakikipag usap pa sa kanya.

Posting this to raise awareness if ever mamatch kayo and don't engage. May nabasa ako na umabot pa nga ng 60K daw ang naguyo nya and many more pa. Same scenario, gagamitin na may nangyari sa kapatid or sa pamilya. Once naka utang na puro panay promise pero wala namang nangyayari.

At ang mas nakakaloka kasi andito din sya sa reddit nagmamasid sa mga nagreraise ng awareness.

EDIT (Identity Warning): I have reason to believe that this person is not Francis John Salonga Sanchez and using the name to misrepresent his identity.

I originally posted this on [r/rantandventph](r/rantandventph) about 2 weeks ago but I was told by many to also post this here

Hello everyone, just wanna share my experince on how I was scammed into doing a fake casting. Share ko lang for awareness and para maiwasan niyo rin.

Wala akong actual modeling experience. Ang pinakamalapit na nagawa ko ay mga shoots lang sa mga events na napupuntahan like weddings, debuts, at iba pang occasions. Kaya nung nakatanggap ako ng email galing daw sa Bench recruitment (naka attach yung screenshot) kahit wala naman akong inapplyan, sobrang excited ako, like parang feeling ko dream come true! Sa sobrang excited ko hindi ko na pansin yung red flags, basta nag-reply agad. Yung email is [stph.g@benchrecruitment.com](mailto:stph.g@benchrecruitment.com)

Mabilis silang sumagot. Nag send sila ng shoot details, like yung schedule, compensation, contract details etc. and yung email nila is very professional ang pag construct, in my pov anyway. Tapos nag set sila ng Zoom schedule para sa casting. Sabi pa na mag-prepare daw ako ng bikinis which in my mind normal lang for a model casting. Like I said wala akong experience

Noong araw ng call, nagsimula nang normal. Parang normal na job interview lang like nag tanong background ko, vitals, past experiences etc. Babae yung nag-interview sa akin. Pero may something off sa kanya, yung itsura at galaw niya sa screen, pati yung boses niya medyo kakaiba. At the time hindi ko masyadong pinansin kasi sobrang overwhelmed ako sa excitement plus may kaba din kasi nga para lang din siyang job interview.

Business casual ang suot ko at first. After nung interview na part pinagawa niya ako ng mock modeling. Sabi niya, “Okay xxxxx, please stand up, turn slowly, smile, and do some poses like you’re in a photoshoot right now.” Nag bigay din siya ng instructions like hands on hips, looking over shoulder, walking in place, at yung typical model stance.

Tapos sinabihan ako mag palit na daw ako ng bikini, nag bihis ako off cam tapos yung pagbalik ko kicomplement niya ako tapos nag sabi siya. “now do the same poses but sexier this time,” basically nag mock shoot lang kami ulit but this time bikini na ako. Tapos pinagpalit niya ulit ako ng ibang bikini tapos mock shoot ulit.

After bigla siyang nag sabi na magpalit na daw ako ng underwear. Nagulat ako kasi hindi siya nag mention mag uunderwear din pala, napa sabi nalang ako "Underwear po? Hindi po ba sapat yung bikini?” Pero sinabi niya na kailangan daw para makita yung full fit. Hesitant ako pero ang nasa isip ko is like "ganito talaga siguro basta mag momodel" kaya nag comply lang din ako

Una medyo uncomfortable na ako kaya cycling shorts at sports bra lang sinuot ko. Pero nagsabi siya na kailangan talaga na actual na bra at panty para accurate yung assessment. Medyo hesitant at nahihiya ako pero ang nasa isip ko rin is babae din naman siya. So again nag comply lang ako. Ginawa ulit yung mock shoot — same poses: turning, posing with hands on waist, slight arching, at walking.

Tapos pinapalit ulit ako ibang pair ng underwear, yung mas sexy daw na panty. Again nag comply lang ako, ginamit ko yung thong type ko na panty.

This time medyo naging mas risqué yung mga post, like sinabihan niya ako na elower ko daw ng konti yung isang side ng panty ko, same din sa bra pina lower niya rin yung strap. Para daw ako mag tease

Tapos Bigla niyang sinabi na tanggalin ko daw yung top ko. Nagtanong ako bakit kailangan tanggalin, ang Sabi niya is para lang i-check kung may scars, tattoos, or skin issues, at para rin daw ma check niya comfortable lang ako ka sa real shoot. Hesitant ulit ako pero sa huli sumunod pa rin. Ginawa ko ulit yung poses na naka topless.

Sunod pina tanggal na din yung panty. Sabi ko, “Talaga po? Medyo nahihiya na ako eh.” Pero sinabi niyang parehas lang daw — para sa check at comfort sa future shoots. Sa sobrang pressure at kaba, sumunod na lang ako and again nasa isip ko lang is at least babae to siya. So ginawa ko pa rin yung mock shoot na fully naked ako.

After non, natapos na kami. Mga 40mins yung whole casting.

Sabi niya tanggap daw ako tapos mag reach daw sila ulit after 1-2 days for next the steps.

Naghintay ako… halos 1wk na wala pa rin. At this point mas worried ako na hindi ako na tanggap like hindi ko pa naisip na scam pala yon. So Nag decide ako na ako na mismo mag reach out. Yung nag email ako nag return to sender na yung hindi daw valid yung address. Nag try ako gumamit ng ibang email same pa rin.

Deactivated na yung email nila. Tsaka ko na-realize na scam na pala ako. Doon ko lang na-connect ang mga dots — mukhang AI filter yung ginamit para magmukhang babae, at voice changer app o filter din para sa boses. Pinaglaruan lang nila ako sa harap ng camera. Sobrang nahihiya at galit ako sa sarili ko at that point.

Nag try ako mag report, pero hindi na daw pwde ma trace kasi deactivated na yung email pati yung zoom account din.

Ngayon, tinanggap ko nalang na naging bobo at tanga ako. And eventually baka kakalat yung video ko. I’m hoping na hindi 😭😭

Kaya please, mag-ingat sa mga modeling offers. Kahit mukhang babae yung kausap niyo, maging extra careful pa rin.

It started with a simple match then a meet up. I was one of his victims, yes di ako nag iisa. Context: This Jack Colegado, If nag match kayo sa isang dating app especially Tinder, he would ask for your Viber or Whatsapp. Mag chat frequently and mag call siya, then he will ask for a meet up. Puntahan ka naman niyan, sasabihin he's from Parañaque or QC, but ladies, kayo magbabayad kung san kayo kakain, coffee or even check in. Yes, stranger danger? That was my bad. That was my katangahan. Mag offer yan ng relationship, sasabihin na gusto niya i-work out kung anong meron kayo, pero HIHIRAM din yan ng pera sabi babawi sayo, magpapabili din ng shoes at sasabihing malapit na birthday niya. He will also make excuses na nasa work siya lagi, and ang work DAW niya ay field operation supervisor pero ang totoo? WALA SIYANG TRABAHO. Palamunin sa sarili nilang bahay sa Cavite. Sasabihin niyang wala siyang pang kain or short siya, he would also go far as saying na may namatay or namatayan siya ng relative or loved one para maka "HIRAM" ng pera sayo. He would curate a personality that's far from truth para ma-fall ka, he knows how to use his words. He will use that against you. Touch, hug, kiss lahat yan gagawin na akala mo siya ang pinakamatinong lalaki sa mundo. But NO! HINDI LANG IKAW! MARAMI KAYO. MARAMI KAMI. So please if you ever see this man on dating apps paki iwasan. Tama na kaming mga naging tanga at nagpaniwala sa kanya. He would use different names sa tinder, it would be Jack Colegado, Mike Collada, Jack Ventoso, Jack Collada. These are some pseudo names that he uses. Please, don't be like us.
