FREE Cebu Pacific Ticket SCAM Spreads in Facebook, Again

By Admin
A year ago or two, a scam offering a Cebu Pacific ticket spreads through Facebook. Now, the same scam is back and its spreading fast. At the time of writing, at least three of my Facebook friends have posted it, unintentionally enticing others into the scam.



How do I know it's a scam? Here are few simple signs.


1. It's too good to be true.

That's the simplest sign you should be aware of. If it seems too good to be true, it's most likely not true.

2. It's not in the official Cebu Pacific Website, Facebook Page, or Twitter.

If this is a legitimate promotion, this should've been posted in their official website, and social network pages. In this case, it's not.

3. The link is suspicious. 

As you can notice, the URL or link contains cebupacificair.com but it has additional names. This is a very common method to deceive unsuspecting people.


What to do when you encounter posts like this?

Once you realize it's a scam, DO NOT click the link. For most people, best thing to do is to leave it alone. For advanced users, you may try to report this to Facebook.

There are quite a number of cases similar to this. One example is free Pizza Hut scam. You can read the full story here.

    You really make it seem really easy together with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually one thing that I think I might by no means understand. It seems too complicated and very vast for me. I’m looking ahead to your next put up, I will attempt to get the dangle of it! Jogosfriv4 2020 , jogo friv 2020 , friv 2020

SCAM: My First Scam Text This Year; 850000 Pesos from GMA Kapuso Foundation

By Admin
It's a brand new year for everyone, including local scammers. And despite all the efforts by PLDT and Globe Telecom to curb text message scammers, from time to time, they still creep out and show up in our inboxes. And as hard to believe as the messages of winning some great amounts of money is the fact that there are still people who believe them. I personally know someone and that scam text message triggered events that turn her life upside down. So my point is, we still need to be careful regarding these scam messages. The danger is real! So without further ado, here's the scam message I received a few days ago. On Sunday, January 7, 2018 at exactly 3:33PM (PH time), I received this message from a certain Atty. Jhon Acosta with phone number 09552962911 Congratulations!

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

By Admin
My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a  Prostate MRI,  and I assume it was without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i....
