I got a TikTok Viewer Job Offer from Skyrocket Studio Ph- Scam or Not?

Earlier today, I got a message on my Whatsapp and telling me to become a TikTok Viewer with an attractive salary and commission. The message says it's a part-time job and I can work from Home. Legit or not? So I ask the sender who he/she is and how did she manage to get my Whatsapp number. She told me she was from Skyrocket Studio Ph  and she got my number from Whatsapp, Linkedin and/or Telegram. She's not sure actually where she got my number. Then I took to Google and search for the said company and saw a legit website: "We are a fresh, dynamic group of caffeine-fueled individuals inspired to deliver results through smart solutions. We’re an entrepreneurial bunch with expertise in creative technology, digital marketing, content & business strategy, web development, design, and social media." Then the Manager told me to install Telegram and this time I am not sure if  I am chatting with two different people from Whatsapp and Telegram. The so-called manager ask me...

Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) on GTV?

"Bahay ni Kuya" is G na G? How about Pinoy Big brother moving house to GTV after It's Showtime. It's possible to happen considering that GMA Network and ABS-CBN have been making a huge TV Collab.  The very first and only Pinoy Big Brother Edition I watched from start to finish is when Ms. Tin Patrimonio and Slater Young were among the housemates. I am a Kapuso but I'm not a toxic fan that I will not watch any other show from another network when I believe it is worth watching. I remember I was still in Dubai during that PBB Edition so I have to check the schedule since Dubai is 4 hours later than the Philippines. The location of Pinoy Big Brother House used to occupy an old house; it was demolished in order to give way for the show. The house was built within 79 days in 2005 and was built by 50 men round-the-clock. The house is a large, fully air-conditioned studio with a facade that looks like an ideal middle-class house. It is located just in front of the ELJ Co...
