COMEDIENNE Ai-Ai delas Alas shared the recent fate of her two children in the hands of online scammers.
The 54-year-old celebrity narrated how her children, Sancho and Sophia, became victims of online scams in two separate instances.
A bogus buyer online victimized Delas Alas’ son Sancho, who sells wristwatches. The buyer, whose name was Stian Young, apparently brought envelopes and inside were papers instead of cash. She also claimed that the motorist pretended to be a driver for Grab.
Warning her followers about the possibility of entering a scam in the future, she wrote: “Mag-ingat sa mga online scammer. Kagabi sabay pang na scam ang mga anak ko. Si Sancho kasi madaming relos and binebenta na niya na ‘yung iba tutal ‘di naman na nya ginagamit at si Sophia naman sa ticket para sa oppa Cha Eun Woo.”
Meanwhile, her daughter, Sophia, did not receive the ticket she bought to watch the fan meeting of “Gangnam Beauty” star Cha Eun Woo in Manila.
In a series of tweets, Sophia recounted how she got tricked into buying a ticket for the South Korean idol’s fan meeting. She later revealed the person she bought the ticket from blocked her on Twiter.
“So I was desperate to get Cha Eun Woo VVIP tickets and when I saw someone selling one on Twitter I immediately purchased it. The person selling it was actively responding especially when I was about to purchase the ticket. He was continually asking for updates,” she wrote.
Having paid 9,000 pesos for the ticket, she made sure to ask for receipt and confirmation e-mail from the seller. She likewise asked for a government ID to verify his identity.
Delas Alas, on the other hand, lamented over the incident and reiterated her concern to those who plan to buy stuff online.
“Hay naku kung sino man kayong mga demonyo kayo ‘di man kayo mahuli pero naniniwala ako sa karma. Makuha niyo man yan di niyo din yan mapapakinabangan kasi walang masamang gawain ang nag wawagi. At sinabihan ko din mga anak ko wag masyadong mag tiwala sa mga tao ngayon kasi madami ng masamang tao na mga pinsan o kapatid ng kalaban ni Lord. Maging aral na lang ito sa kanila at satin na mag ingat sa mga online sellers and buyers.”(Push)
