00:00This is a picture that is too perfect, allergic to video calls, and asking for money.
00:06My dears, those are the red flags that are possible love scams that you may have seen online.
00:12According to the authorities, you should be careful especially this month of love.
00:17Watch Oscar Oida.
00:23Handsome, tall, handsome and above all, very sweet.
00:29These are just a few of the reasons why people ask for a fall.
00:33The former OFW, Juliette, her real name,
00:36became Romeo online when a Norwegian serviceman introduced her to a dating app.
00:43He's fair-skinned, fair-skinned, a bit blonde. His hair is different.
00:47His eyes are beautiful, like round.
00:50He's charming.
00:51Of course, he'll call you baby. I've never experienced that.
00:56But after a while, Juliette noticed that her online Romeo is becoming too popular.
01:04He'll ask for my full name, how much is my salary for a month.
01:08It seems that she's also allergic to calls or video calls.
01:12She was even more doubtful when it came to the point that she was asking for money
01:18and when she said that she has no money to give.
01:21He even told me to borrow money from my boss and tell him it's an emergency.
01:26At this point, Juliette realized that this is not true love, but a love scam.
01:34Our Filipinos are usually loved and hard-working
01:39while those behind the so-called love scams
01:44or the modus of getting to know each other online,
01:47make love to each other until you're out of money.
01:52Overall, we're always very emotional.
01:55And because of this attitude, you can program in the EI.
02:00How can I get paid by Filipinos?
02:03We're already profiled and they know we're highly vulnerable.
02:07And they know Filipinos are hard-working, that's why they save a lot.
02:12That's why we're targeted.
02:15According to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center or CICC,
02:19every February, up to 15 Filipinos are victimized by love scams every day.
02:25That's why it's important to detect red flags or signals that you're talking to a love scammer.
02:34Red flag number one, the picture. Too perfect to be true.
02:39The type, the profile pic, is too aesthetic.
02:43And there are no tagged photos or friends of a real person.
02:48Red flag number two, if he's allergic to video calls,
02:52doesn't want to talk on the phone, and always has a reason not to meet.
02:57And the most red flag of all, when he's asking for money.
03:03Even if there's an emergency or he doesn't want to invest.
03:07That's why our profiles are very important.
03:12This is like a spot.
03:14Because the problem is, most of the love scams are LDR, foreigners.
03:20So there's no chance to meet.
03:23For GMA Integrated News, I'm Oscar, or your witness.
03:37For GMA Integrated News, I'm Oscar.
