Multiple scams in a phone call

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one

This post got a phone call yesterday from a former staff again and inquired:

1    Can lot, tax dec that is 85% paid be sold,  to a third party?
2.  She will use the proceed to buy an additional truck?

1.    For 1 I answered no since since the property is not yet hers she has no right to sell this a  third party.
       To do so will be highly irregular.
2.    She cant sell the lot as subdivided lot since its tax dec.   The govt regulators, through the NBI will
       run after her.    She has no hope of having a TCT because the land belongs to a large corporation                 which is now based nearby and can easily refer her to the NBI    The _________case which was
      was issued a reconstituted title without paying an RPT is a scam perpetrated at highest level.  Under
      the doctrine that this was a decided case all ready, the case cant be opened.  But a great injustice, 
      thousands made homeless by stroke of a pen    The owners said they spent millions on the SC                      (judiciary) maybe to get a favorable decision



3.  Her truck is a scam by the company.  Was an outsourcing.  The company instead of buying trucks offered outsourcing deals.  However her AP was running all ready beyond 90 days.  and that was all ready unfair for her
     




Meeting scammers all around us

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one





I remember of a former staff whom I met regarding a piece of property shich was priced at high 9 numbers   The numbers I gave her as a counter was not probably attractive

Then somebody warned me not to deal with the person because   she caused a landowner in the farthest end of the province to:    cause a deal of sale and transfer consumated by a senior couple.  They spent for the CGT but the consideration was not paid.     How bad and cruel.  Lady scammer.  Pero very religious and participates in church activities.    (Most of them hide behind saints and images?)

Beware of giving references; it could be a scam (remnants of recent scandals)

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one





An acquaintance, supposed to be a business consultant (but just doing networking) cajoled me into joining a GC at messenger because an alleged  AAA PCAB contractor plans to go on jv for a big govt project in southern island province. for DPWH.  The supposed contractor

And so she was seeking a AAA contractor too and I said this post know of one who handles huge DPWH project in the said island.   (But I am not close)   

I asked for her papers and she had nothing.  She said she has 4 4ph project and asked her if she is familiar with the funding  She said there is mobilization.   (There is none)  She is a bogus contractor She said she is now in the capital city   But she does not know of anyone I mentioned 

Had I given her the reference, she would have just piggy back on the former using her license.  I got out of the GC.

Pity the seniors - scammer's target (favorite)

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one





An acquaintance who is senior like me told me that her bank is texting her to get a million peso loan.  That is strange because a senior citizen like me all ready lacks the capacity to contract an obligation.  So that the mandatory retirement is at 65 because of the declining cognitive function as one ages.

I know I am targetted for romantic scams by alleged lady soldiers in war torn country:   Syria,  Yemen.  The narrative is the same:   they will visit thte Philippines after the tour of duty and will seek advice on investment.  And when the investment is there (the playbook of Nigerian scam is introduced)

Pity the seniors.  Spare us from the scam.

I learned and sadly that somebody is rich in our town gypped a senior couple of their land.  They paid the CGT and had the property transferred  to the name of the rich kababayan?!

Scam in giving change (sencillo)

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one





This evening, I bought some essential goods for a famous retailer (financed by ADB)  The problem was in the change.  I   was supposed to  get a change of P4.75.  The clerk gave me P4.50

That is what PRRD hates and it is illegal in DC!

Maybe they just price their goods in whole numbers.   This amount of withheld change can amount to huge number if tolerated.  Multiply by branches and number of customers

A funeral parlor operator who invested in a land deal, lost about P4M in a deal she did not understand, documents and agreements were spurious

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one

A former staff who answered my happy NY greetings reported to me that an investor in a memorial park project, who financed the crematorium lost her shirt for that investment.   The land was involved in a huge land dispute and the documents were spurious  

Let us be aware
