A Scammer Story!

Just this week I had a bad experience with a person whom I really don't know, it's my mistake to put full trust in her/him. I even don't know her gender.. Only her name I recognized just by chatting in FB. Let's just name her/him Raquel Reyes from San Isidro Poblacion, Nueva Ecija in the Philippines... Raquel and I negotiated about buying him/ her Smart phones and the procedure of payment was through money remittances... We both agreed that Raquel will ship my parcel after I will pay the corresponding amount of the parcel. After an hour she texted me that she already received the money and later Raquel will send the parcel through a courier here in the Philippines. I replied to his/her messages that I need the information like the tracking number of the courier, but she/he didn't give me the information... My thoughts are juggling it puzzled me alot. Maybe Raquel is busy or maybe she/he needs more time to deliver my parcel... Then night came.. Raquel still juggles in my mind... I searched her name in Facebook and I found out that her name is all over FB that Raquel Reyes is a scammer. My wife was shocked and very angry why I trusted much to person I didn't know. It was a lesson learned for me... This incident that happen is all over the world not only in our country but in every country there's a security measures ... In the Philippines there's a qoute that says "Walang manloloko Kung Walang mag papaloko" There's no swindlers if there's no people allow them to swindlers.. This story I shared is for all the people out there to be vigilant of this kind of people...
