2. "Be careful in your business dealings, the world is full of trickery" Desiderata
3. "Caveat emptor"
To deal with this, govts have put up cybercrime units. In the Philippines there are cybercrime units for PNP and NBI. There are strict laws that punish scams: esp bouncing check law, Cybercrime laws, Art 315 of revised penal code. The Revised Security Act. The SIM registration. But scammers never seem to let go. They are back in numbers and intensity. Whatever happened to past scams.
With internet, the scammers do not have to bring arms or kidnap anyone to perpetrate their crimes. All they need are cellphones and their conning (cunning minds) No need to rob a bank.
There are many types of scams: romance, phishing, face to face, investment scam.
Let us see for example at FB
Scams, scams, scams, frauds everywhere....
Lately, a fmr batchmate inquired about another fmr batchmate who said was borrowing money.
Was I approached before for a a loan? I answered yest. But I said I am not into it anymore because I have all ready assigned my estate to my heirs and I have very little money on hand to spare. Besides I know that the person is well off, having worked before with a multi lateral bank.
I was told that the same person is borrowing money - huge millions. The person made millions from mere P500,000 investment in bitcoin and appeared to have lost all them.
Now babawe.
I am sure the person has lost it. Crypto is one of the investments experts have warned against. All people I know who invested in crypto/bitcoin have lost their investments - are penniless

Scams from armed fronts in the election; now scams from IT experts
This post has been informed of rip offs from armed groups in Visayas wherein the armed groups promises election victory to a candidate in exchange for a hefty sum. The candidate makes a say 10% downpayment and full payment. Only the 10% the downpayment is the loss of candidate
Yesterday, 3 young IT experts were caught by NBI for asking millions in exchange for victory in the elections. They will hack Smartmatic and Comelec election system. Fortunately they were caught. They are connected with a Smartmatic employee who is the leader. The DOJ Usec Mancao led the press con regarding the arrest.
Another one is a teacher pretending to be NPA who sent mails to schools threatening them that they will be blown up if they dont come across. Fortunately the teacher was caught.
