Best Posts in Thread: Just another scam we get used to but a heads up Locally

You're missing an important point. The people who are getting scammed are stupid. Finding stupid people with money is most of the work. Any jackass can try to scam people, but it's only through hard work and diligence can a a scammer find that special person with more gold than brains (though in this city, that wouldn't have to be much gold).

 

People in the west have money, hard to find a plain stupid in Philippines with money, plenty in the west. The big problem to me about scammers, when they use old people, many in their 80-90 + years, who have lost some or part of their senses. Very popular scam in Europe just now, are when older people go shopping, they pay with credit card, criminals stay behind and check pinkode. After the older person finish shopping, a group of persons take contact to them, ask about direction to hospital or similar and steal credit card. Many times, victims first find out much later, that they are missing their credit card. The criminals come often from east european countries, like romania or bulgaria, traval around different countries, open borders inside Europe

 

It´s a shame but it happens every were in the world even in the America or Europe and I not think the the victims are stupid, the scammers are professional and they find victims everywhere in any country.
