Sa mga mahihilig makipag chat..BEWARE!!
Babala po, ingat lang po tayo sa pagbibigay ng ating username at password sa mga social sites. Alam ko na me napost na pong ganito before, gusto ko lang i-remind mga kababayan natin na nangyayari pa rin ito. Share ko lang po sa inyo from my email.
Be very careful….and don’t be too trusting !
Nung Sabado (17 Oct. 2009) mga 10.00am to 11.00am nag message sa akin sa Yahoo Messenger ang isa sa mga kaibigan ko sa yahoo list:
Friend: Online ka?
Jessie: Opo
Friend: Musta?
Jessie: Ayos lang.
Friend: San ka?
Jessie: Malaysia pa din.
Friend: May webcam ka?
Jessie: Sira eh.
Friend: Ay ganun. Uy meron ako share na pics sayo.
Jessie: Ok
At this point my friend sent a site. I clicked the address and it was directed to flicker site and it requires me to log in using yahoo id. Since I trust the person nag log ako. After logging in wala naman nangyari. So I just closed the window.
Mga 12.00pm nakatulog ako. Nagising na ako bandang 2.00pm. I checked my roaming phone and saw one message from one of my friends in Manila . Nung binasa ko message niya, I knew na wrong sent siya.
Message: Jen, san ako makakabili ng prepaid na smart and globe tig 50 pcs?
Naisipan ko na lang na tawagan yung friend ko para sabihin na wrong sent siya and para makamusta din.
Jessie: Hello.
Friend M: Uy Jessie nandito na ako sa Globe babayadan ko na.
Jessie: Ha? Na wrong send ka sa akin. Teka bakit dami mo kailangan na prepaid load?
Friend M: Ano? Ang gulo mo naman di ba nagpapabili ka sa akin?Ano ba talaga? Nandito na ako sa harap ng cashier babayadan ko na.
Jessie: Hindi ako nagpapabili. Cancel mo.
I realized my yahoo id was hacked and was used to contact my friends. The hacker sent message to her pretending to be me:
Hacker: Hi. Musta?
Friend M: Ok lang.
Hacker: Pwede hingi favor?
Friend M: Sige ok lang.
Hacker: Papabili sana ako sayo ng prepaid cards Globe and Smart. Kasi business ko yun dito sa Malaysia . Eh naubusan yung supplier ko. Kailangan ko lang talaga. Please lang.
Friend M: Sige ok lang. Ilan ba?
Hacker: Ok lang ba kung 50 pcs na Globe and Smart na worth 500? Nabebenta ko kasi dito yun ng 750 so may 250 na kita na ako. Babaydan ko na lang sayo sa Monday hulog ko sa account mo 50,000.
Friend M: Sige Ok lang. Kaya lang lalabas pa ako kasi withdraw pa ako ng pera.
Hacker: Sige.. Please ha Urgent lang talaga. Importante lang. Teka na sayo pa ba roaming ko?
Friend M: Oo. yung 0920XXXXXX
Hacker: Ay ndi na yan ito na bago ko no. 09206245229. Send ka text sa akin para sure na tama yung no.
Friend M: Ok.
So, usap na sila ni Friend M via text. The hacker instructed my friend to SMS to him the pin no of the prepaid cards after buying it. He was very insistent na bilisan ang pagbili and send agad kasi kailangan na kailangan na daw. Halos every 10 mins he was texting her.
Thank God that I was able to discover on time about all these kaya hindi natuloy sa pagbili si Friend M. I immediately send SMS to all my friends in my phonebook para ma notify sila and huwag maniwala sa hacker. It turned out that there are 4 others na nakausap ni hacker and they are in the malls ready to buy the prepaid cards.
This is very mean and pathetic. This fraudsters are capitalizing on trust between friends. I appreciate my friends that are willing to help without even talking to me but these days we must be very careful.
Note that their target victims are the friends of OFWs since our friends will be willing to lend money because they know we can pay and not even think na bakit text lang kasi alam natin na mahal long distance. Siguro maiisip niyo bakit dali nila magtiwala but come to think of it? Kapag kinausap tayo sa Yahoo Messenger we never doubt the authenticity of the person on the other end lalo na kung lagi natin sila nakaka chat.
I am writing to notify everyone so this won't happen to you. Please help to save other people from this ruthless swindlers. Pa send sa lahat ng kilala niyo.
Thanks for the time in reading this. I tried to make it short pero mas maganda detailed para malaman niyo modus operandi nila.
