Beware GAWS69 Profile in PlanetRomeo

Someone messaged me that GAWS69 profile in PlanetRomeo is a swindler.

True enough when I checked his profile and read his Guestbook entries there were complaints. (When checking a profile read Guestbook entries)

The pictures in the profile are fake.

Again before meeting up with someone chat first through webcam or video.  You can do it in Viber, Skype or any chat app with video function.  If the guy refuses because he is "discreet", then that is a warning sign.

If you really want to meet the person then meet him in a public area like a mall.  In this way you can immediately refuse and leave or seek assistance in the mall just in case.  Do not meet the person in your house or hotel room.  

Common sense dictates that if the person is not the same in the profile then beware.  If he fooled you in his profile, he has bad intentions.

Catfishing

Catfishing in gay social media sites is a growing problem especially in Cagayan de Oro City.

Catfishing is when someone creates a fake profile (fake photographs) on social media sites to trick people into thinking they are somebody else.  They make up life stories and use photographs of unsuspecting victims to create fake identities.  (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1754916/what-is-catfishing-and-how-do-you-know-if-its-happening-to-you/)

Aside from being catfished, your identity might be stolen.  When you share your photo, make sure you watermark it.  Put a mark on your photo so no one can claim it as their own.

Always ask to chat through webcam first before meeting.   You can chat through Skype, Viber and others.   If they refuse to chat through webcam or even through your phone cam (video phone chat), be careful.

These swindlers feed on your desires, on your emotions.  That is how they convince you to do anything they want you to do.  For example : "Magmahay ka gyud kung dili ta magkita", "Lami kaayo ko mo romansa, magmahay ka gyud",  "Karon ra gyud ko bakante, magkita na ta karon".  Never allow them to control you.  Control the situation before it gets out of hand.  

If you get robbed, report it to the police.  By not reporting these swindlers to the police, you are giving them permission to rob other people.

Beware of guys in the mall

Beware of guys you meet in the mall.  Most likely they are "call boys" who will steal from you.

I can confirm that they are now operating in a group with the infamous Mr. Michael Alconera (picture below) training new "call boy" recruits.

Please report these guys to proper authorities.  Better yet report them to the mall authorities so once and for all they would be banned from entering the premises.

You can check Facebook groups dedicated to call boy swindlers and ask for more information about these guys.

Harrassment

I am constantly online sending warnings to users in PlanetRomeo - Cagayan de Oro regarding criminal activities going on the dating site.

Clearly what I am doing in PlanetRomeo is working because someone tried to harass me in this blog.  Harass me all you want but it won't work.

Whoever you are, you just verified that criminal activities in PlanetRomeo-Cagayan de Oro is prevalent and I should continue with what I am doing right now.

Hopefully the media would pick up on this and if that happens...good bye gay swindlers in Centrio, Gaisano and Limketkai.  Dili na gyud mo makatungtung aning mga mall.
 

CDO Swindler Update

Taken from Cagayan de Oro Gay Swindlers Facebook account.

Shown below is a police blotter filed by a victim of "Michael".

For those who were victimized by "Michael" please visit the Carmen Police Station located at the Carmen Public Market and add to the complaint.

Share this information!

I am home alone

"I am home alone"...sounds hot and horny, ain't it?  But posting this online on your PlanetRomeo account or any other online account can be risky.  Be reminded that Cagayan de Oro is no longer a backward, naive provincial city.  Daghan na mangingilad.  

Telling everyone that you are home alone is like saying, I am vulnerable and ready to be robbed. With so many swindlers using social media and gay dating sites like PlanetRomeo, you might attract the wrong people.  Unless you are a martial arts expert or is confident that nothing will happen bad to you, then by all means invite strangers to your home.

Always remember to use your common sense.  Please read the topic on Tips to avoid getting swindled in Cagayan de Oro City

 

Online swindling continues in CDO

I have started again my information campaign in PlanetRomeo on how to avoid being swindled or robbed online.  This is also my way of checking if gay swindling activities in CDO has subsided or stopped.  

In just an hour, a handful of people sent me messages that they were robbed as recent as last week.  This is disturbing, really disturbing.  Swindling activities in Cagayan de Oro is still active and it seems our local police are not aware of it because victims are not reporting the crime.

Again my appeal to the victims, PLEASE report these swindlers to the police.  How would the police know what is really happening if no one reports it to them?  If victims do not report the incident to the police, nothing will be done.  These swindlers will keep on robbing people.  Some of these swindlers are not even afraid anymore because they know nothing is being done.

Public urged to report cybercrimes

A new police unit in Northern Mindanao has been set up to focus on criminal activities using the internet or electronic gadgets (cellphones or computers).  The Anti-Cybercrime Group - Northern Mindanao (ACG-10) is tasked to deal with cybercrimes in Northern Mindanao.  It is under the supervision of the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Office - Northern Mindanao (RACO - 10).

ACG-10 encourages the public to report criminal acts pertaining to the internet or electronic gadgets.  Example, if someone gets hold of your naked photos or videos and tries to blackmail you, report this to the ACG.

The ACG-10 has already received 54 reports and complaints, and has filed 68 cases. Some investigations are still pending while some have already been filed in court.

Citizens who are victims of cybercrimes can report to RACO-10’s official social network accounts such as Twitter (@npacgrdfl10) and Facebook (PNP-Anticybercrime Group 10). Detailed reports can also be sent through its e-mail address: 10rdfl.emfu.acgroup@gmail.com.

Do not just say...charge to experience!  Report a crime to the police!  These criminals can be placed behind bars if victims cooperate with the police.

Cagayan de Oro Gay Swindler strikes again

I saw this guy in Gaisano City last Sunday afternoon.  Beware of him.  Someone again complained in this blog that he was robbed by this person.

If you have been robbed, REPORT IT TO THE POLICE!  If you do not report the incident to the police, these swindlers would keep on swindling other people.

Updates on Gay Swindlers

A few weeks ago someone complained here in the blog that he met with a callboy in Limketkai Mall and was robbed.  Since then I have not heard of any updates or news.

I need to know if a police blotter was made so I can visit the police station and follow up the case.

Daghan na kaayo storya dinhi nga gi dakop na, gi sumbong na pero walay ebidensya.  You have to give me details.  I need documents, clear facts not just mere rumors.

I encourage victims of these gay swindlers to go to the police station and report what happened.  Do not worry, I will be there to support you.  Kung dili ni ninyo i-report sa pulis, dili makabalo ang pulis unsa diay ka grabe ang pang-hold up sa mga bayot dinhi sa Cagayan.  We have a new city government that promises an orderly and safe Cagayan de Oro, so take this opportunity to demand your rights as a citizen to be safe!  Report these gay swindlers to the police!

Call Boys in Gaisano Mall Arrested?

Someone posted in the Chatroom box that two call boys in Gaisano Mall was arrested.  Can anyone authenticate this information?  However I will try to do some research to verify this information.

Last time someone said that one of the call boys mentioned in this blog was arrested however no other information was given to back up the story.  Ato ning klarohon.

I will give updates as soon as I get more information.

Call boy in Limketkai

For the past weeks I see this call boy (also known to some as Mike or Michael) roaming around Limketkai Mall every afternoon.  As usual he wears a cap and a stripped shirt.

Be careful of this guy as he is known to swindle his clients.  He would offer you a rate of 300 Pesos but after or during sex it becomes 3,000 Pesos.  Since the victims refuse to file criminal charges against him, he remains free to victimize other gay people.

 

Updates on Masseur Swindler in CDO

Someone complained that this guy is swindling gay people online.  He claims to be a masseur offering sensual massage.  According to the complainant, he carries a gun and uses it to threaten his victims.  He even claims to be an employee of Southern Arms, a gun supplier in Cagayan de Oro City and manages VV Security Agency. 

Considering that there is already an election gun ban, he is asking for more trouble.  If you have been a victim of this person, please report this incident to the police.  Mention the gun in your complaint

Male Prostitution

In a news clip featured by Umagang Kay Ganda in ABS-CBN, a guy named "Jay" was among those arrested during an anti-criminality drive in Caloocan City, Metro Manila.  Jay basically earns around 500 to 1,000 Pesos a day being a male escort in the streets of Caloocan.   He was forced to go into prostitution because he had to feed his siblings since their parents passed away.  He also claims that he uses a condom to protect himself from diseases. 

His story is a sad one and I sympathize with him.  As the sole bread winner in the family he has to do something for his family to survive.  Stories like these are heartbreaking.  However for some of these male prostitutes, it is a different story.  In Cagayan de Oro, most male prostitutes are swindlers and thieves.  How can you sympathize to their plight if all they do is rob you?

Again, let me reiterate my stand on this issue.  I do not encourage prostitution but reality bites.  Some people has no choice but to use what they have to survive.  Now, I have no problems with prostitutes as long as they provide the correct service as agreed upon.  As long as both parties including the client (ang bayot), respect each others right.  The problem with some gay clients, they are a bit aggressive and sometimes deceitful.  Respect begets respect.  You won't get respect if you do not respect others.

Tips to Avoid Getting Swindled

There have been incidents of robbery or fraud in Cagayan de Oro involving gay people.

To avoid getting swindled or robbed, here are some advise or tips to follow :

1. When meeting someone online, check their Facebook account or if not see each other through webcam. Today, most people have Facebook or webcams, so if that person does not have one, that is a warning sign.

2. If the person you meet online wants to meet with you immediately in your hotel room or apartment, that is a warning sign. Meet this person first in a public area or through webcam. If you do not like the person you are meeting, you can make an excuse and leave the place or simply turn off the webcam.

3. If you bring these strangers to your hotel room or apartment/home, make sure the hotel has a CCTV camera and the guy should register or surrender an ID to the hotel receptionist. Better yet, leave your valuables with the hotel receptionist for safe keeping and instruct them never to give it to anyone except you. Take a photo of the guy using your phone and send it to friends. If at home, make sure someone is at home to assist you in case of emergencies.

4. Gay swindlers are now in social networking sites.  If the profile photo is not the same with the actual person you meet, that is a warning sign.  Make an excuse and leave immediately.  Do not anymore entertain them.

5. If someone asks you for a night out with his so called "friends and cousins", that is a warning sign. You might end up paying all of the drinks and even more. Sometimes you go out in a date, only to find out that his "cousin" will join you later. If this happens, make an excuse and leave!  These swindlers sometimes operate in pairs or groups.

6. When in a motel, if the guy insists that you take a shower first, this is a warning sign. This is an opportunity for these swindlers to take your belongings and even your clothes.  If you shower, take your clothes with you inside the bathroom and lock the door.

7.  If a gay swindler threatens you that he will create a scene or "mag eskandalo" if you do not give your belongings, you should reply....GO AHEAD! PAG ESKANDALO.  These swindlers are just bluffing.  They do not really want to create a scene or else they will get involved in it and their identity exposed.

Share this with friends! If you have been a victim of these swindlers, REPORT them to the Police!

Call Boy Swindler not in Jail?

A certain Jong sent this screen capture photo of the so called call boy swindler who is supposedly in jail.  This Manjam account shows that the person accessed his account 24 hours ago.  Ang dakong pangutana...is this just a copied photo or the person himself is out there still swindling gay people.

JR_cute24, Another Planet Romeo Swindler?

Can anyone confirm the identity of JR_cute24 in Planet Romeo?  Someone messaged me that he was robbed by this guy last September 1.  And I could remember someone also complained that he was robbed by the same person.

If anyone can share more information about JR_cute24, I would highly appreciate it.

Prostitutes/Call boys in Cagayan de Oro

To be honest, I have nothing against call boys or prostitutes per se.  Panginabuhi mana nila, that is their way of providing for themselves.  However if their means of livelihood is through swindling or theft, dinha nata magbungo!  Prostitution is already illegal in the Philippines, ngano dugangan paman nimo imong illegal nga panginabuhi ug lain pang illegal nga butang?

If only call boys provide good services, sakto ang pangayo ug sabot, we would not reach this point.  Again, respect begets respect.  Both parties should show respect to each other and that includes the client.

I still believe that there are good and decent call boys in Cagayan de Oro.  Ang problema lang, asa na ni sila?  Any ideas?  As long as this issue continues,  I will not stop talking about this in the blog.

And by the way, sex with minors is a NO! NO!  Katong hilig ug mga high school boys?  This is where I draw the line.  NEVER ever have sex with them because it is against the law.  To have sex with someone below 18 years old is considered as statutory rape, with consent or without consent.  Remember that CDO Policeman who was caught in a motel with high school girls?  Gatago tago na ang pulis patola.  Follow the law to avoid complications.

Call Boys asking forgiveness?

I noticed this GayRomeo profile named PASAYLOA_kami. When I started reading the profile, I was a bit surprised.  Here is what was written in the profile :

"Pasayloa kami ninyo kung ugaling ilad sa inyong panan-aw.  Tawo ra gihapon kami.  Lipayon mo namo pero dapat magbayad sad mo.  Please don't plame (blame) our group of we give pleasure for money!"

(English translation) "Forgive us if you all think we are swindlers.  We are only human.  We can make you "happy" but you have to pay up.  Please do not blame our group since we provide pleasure for money!"

This clear shows that these call boys have already formed a group and has become a criminal syndicate.  That is why I do not recommend people to patronize call boys in CDO until this issue is resolved.

As for forgiveness....if there is no justice, there is no forgiveness!  Unsa panan-aw ninyo sa mga bayot?  martyr?  This blog will continue informing people about these swindling activities until justice is served!

Ronald, the notorious PlanetRomeo Swindler

If we had Mike the notorious call boy, we now have the notorious Ronald, the PlanetRomeo (GayRomeo) gay swindler!  He has been changing profiles for the past months.  First time someone informed me that he was a swindler, his ID name was ronn1985_26, then later on jay_jay26 and recently sian_26.  And if you read his profile description, very similar to his previous profile.  What is insulting to his victims, he does not even attempt to hide his real face.  Ana na gyud sya ka confident nga di sya madakpan....

See the previous posts about this guy.
