Tutorial on How to prevent being a victim of fake sellers on Facebook

I have been a victim of scammers on Facebook. Last year, I went to Facebook Marketplace to check the prices of my plant wishlist. The price of Philodendron SP Columbia by that time is P10,000 pesos per leaf. Then I saw a post on the Marketplace of a juvenile form for only P1,000. Since I really wanted to have the plant I paid the seller via G-Cash. The seller sent a picture of a Lalamove rider about to leave her place to go to my place. After an hour the rider is yet to arrive and so I check the seller's account only to find out that I was already blocked.

Prevention is always the best way to protect yourself. Here are some tips on how to avoid being a victim of fake sellers before making a transaction:

Read seller reviews and check the following:

Dates on when the reviews were posted. If the reviews were created over a short period of time, these are fake reviews to immediately increase the seller’s rating
Contains gibberish words or special characters. When this happens, this is a sign that the reviews were created by a bot
Profile of the users commenting. When there are generic names such as Juan Dela Cruz, John Doe, and Jane Smith or just contain numbers and letters, this means that these are fake accounts making fake reviews

If you are transacting with the seller on Facebook, search about the seller. Victims of fake sellers usually post about their experiences to warn potential victims.

STEP 1: Type the name of the seller or Facebook page on the search bar

STEP 2: Tap Posts

STEP 3: Check if there are posts by previous victims

Know the payment terms. Transact with sellers that allow post-delivery payment. Never share your MPIN or OTP. A seller asking you to provide these details is a sign that the transaction is a scam.

How to prevent being a victim of fake sellers after making a transaction

After making a transaction, to be sure you are protected here are the important steps to takeAlways take a screenshot of the payment transaction as proof of your payment
Prior to the delivery: Ask the seller to provide a picture of the item in real-time

Ask the seller for a picture of the item before it’s given to the courier
Ask the seller for courier details as well as the tracking number
Ask the seller for their contact details

Ask for an official or acknowledgment receipt when possible

Is Pet (Dog) Raffle Illegal?

I constantly see "dog raffle'' on my Facebook feed but I have never played even once. I actually bought my three dog pets on the Marketplace, Shih-Tzu, Pomeranian, and Maltese and these breeds of dogs are costly especially if they will come along with PCCI. The Philippine Canine Club, Inc. was organized on March 21, 1963, as a non-stock, non-profit service-oriented corporation for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the love for pure-bred dogs. Quality dogs from legit breeders are usually registered on PCCI. Of my three pets only my Pomeranian has PCCI which I bought for Ph20,000. Earlier, this morning I have seen a post on Facebook from an Animal Shelter in Bulacan, "Pawssion Project" opening up another sensitive topic about dogs being put into a raffle. The page highly condemns such act and highly encourage everyone to report posts that offer PET RAFFLES. Here is Pawsion Project's complete post regarding the issue: Opening up another “sensitive” topi...

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.
