Can power utilities (DUs) charge brown out losses to system loss?
There were rumors that they were going to do that? Can they? Or has DOE approved of this? Na dukot na kaya?
Some common unnoticed scams
They happen everyday; some go unnoticed like change at buses or supermarkets or stores. Some sellers, drivers will not give you the 50 or 25 centavos change. Multiply that by a thousand customers passengers a day and number of terminals in a supermarket say 50, multiply by 30 days and 12 months, the amounts could be staggering.
One of the scams happen with the load; after 10 texts or 1 minute call, the phone announces that there is no more load. Has this happened to you? But it happens to many people. Your 50 pesos load gone.
Is there a law against this?
Have you been a victim?

How do water utilities have system loss
Scams and crimes abound
Rizal Philippines |September 17, 2014
My neighbor showed me how to pay minimum to water utilities. He just turns on the faucet at drip level. The water meter does not move. The force of the leaking water is not enough to drive the meter. So he can fill his container without paying more than what he is paying now. He told me that there are several rich people who have underground cistern that are just being filled by drip/leak method and they do not pay much.

Five most common scams
Rizal Philippines | September 9, 2014
Repost from PC world articles
The five most common on line scams are the following:
1. Pishing.
The scammer tries to get your account # especially if its a credit card or ATM number by pretending the sender of the article that the bank is asking for an update or confirmation
2. Auction fraud or non existing on line store.
They ask for pay pal or credit card payments and you get nothing Some China sites are like this, and you can not have any remedy.
3. Nigerian scam
"I am a bank manager and I have client with x million of funds in escheat, and I wish we can help her."
" I am the son of the royal prince and I found out that he has x zillions deposited in Swiss account, and I wonder if we can be partners for this and I will give you x% percentage of the loot if you help me?"
These used to be letters and now the variation is email.
4. The reshipping re fund transfer.
Beware, the goods could be narcs or money for laundering.
5. The winning of lottery or free gifts in a lottery that you are not aware you joined.
(Let me add that in our country, the load transfer scam is very common. "If you text this secret code to this number, you will get a 30% discount on your next bill. The sender sends you the thread of numbers which turns out to be pasa load to him (from 50 pesos to a few hundred pesos which you lose) and then you do not get the promised 30% discount. Hu hu hu
