Kens96 is Pods299

Kens96 account was deleted a few days ago.  But this guy is persistent.  He made a new account with user name Pods299 and still used the same photos.  Pathetic.

You can compare it with his old account.

Beware who you chat in PlanetRomeo - Cagayan de Oro.  There are so many swindlers and thieves online.  This has been happening for several years now.

Check out this article I made

If you have doubts, ask questions!

Help PlanetRomeo remove these people online.  Click on "Report this User" found on the bottom left corner of the profile.  Then click on Criminal Activity.

Beware of Ken96 PlanetRomeo

Beware of this account in PlanetRomeo.  Reading the Guestbook entries, it is clear that this guy is a callboy and could not be trusted.

Also his profile title is so obvious.  Looking for sex but does not have a place.  He wants you to invite him to your house where he can then rob you.

Again, NEVER immediately invite someone to your house.  Meet the person first in a public area.

Boarding house thief and swindler in CDO arrested.

Photo provided last 2011 by his victims

Someone posted in DiscreetBai forum about a certain swindler named Jaypee L. Oca.  I immediately recognized him as the same guy who victimized occupants of boarding houses in Cagayan de Oro 2 years ago.  It was reported in the local ABS-CBN.  He used the name Julian Perry Oga.  His victims already filed a complain at Police Station No. 9 in Macasandig.  It is best that these two Police Stations (No. 1 and No. 9) coordinate with each other.  Check out this link

This only shows that IF YOU REPORT these swindlers to the POLICE, they will be arrested and put a stop to their swindling activities in Cagayan de Oro!

To Loi23alian, thank you for sharing this information.  I hope this will encourage more people to report swindlers to the police.

Social networking sites are very helpful to us nowadays. In these sites we meet a lot of people of our interests. Friendship, relationship, hook-ups, and etc are some of the interests we seek in these sites. Now, everyone has heard of the site www.planetromeo.com, right? This is a social-networking site for us, gays/bisexuals. We could meet a lot of people from this site as we all know.
Now, as I am an avid user of this site, I get to log-in everyday and run through lists of online netizens. One sunday night, November 10, 2013, I received message from a username "singledad_28" with a "Hi." as usual way of starting a conversation. As I read the message, I replied to this man, and that started our long conversation. He gave me a not clear picture of him and his son then he asked for my cellular phone number, so I gave it to him. He called me right after I gave him my digits. We talked over the phone and discussed his son. The night had gone deeper and he told me that he's sleepy then ended the call.
In the morrow, he called me early an asked me if we could meet somewhere in the city, he preferred if it's in the mall. I accepted his invitation and told him that we could meet inside the premises of Limketkai Mall and he agreed to this. Late in the afternoon at around 5pm, we met at Starbucks Coffee and proceeded to Shakey's inside Limketkai Mall. He treated me something to eat and a tea. He told me his name was "Zach" and I told mine too. We talked about his son and his family background, and so I told him about mine also. As we were talking, two customers went inside the establishment we were in, and Zach coincidently had a stomachache and immediately stood up and went outside the parlor and headed to Mercury Drug Store. 10 minutes later, I contacted Zach and asked him if he will be coming back then he called me on my phone and told me he's buying medicine for his stomachache. Over the phone he asked me if I knew the persons who got inside Shakey's Parlor and I told him "no". He said he might be taking so long so he asked me if I could pay the bill for what we ordered, I checked my wallet and told him that my money isn't enough, knowing this he asked me if I could hand over my phone to the waiter so that he could give instructions to the waiter. The instruction was simple, the waiter will go to the Mercury Drug Store to get the payment and return immediately so that I could come over where he was. So I came over to him and we strolled around the mall. While strolling, he told me his wallet was snatched from him at Cogon market. He worried for his identification cards because the grandmother of his son (his mother-in-law) will be sending him money for his son. But the problem was he can't get the money because he had no ID to present in the money remittance center. He asked me a favor if he could use my ID and I said "yes" the he told me that in return he will give me a partial of the money he will be receiving, I declined to this but he insisted so I had nothing more to say. As I looked inside my wallet, I told him I forgot to bring my ID, then he asked me if we could go back to my house and get my ID then back again in the city to get the money. We rode in a taxi cab forth to our house then back again to the city. We got back in the city and stayed inside Missy Bonbon. He sent my name and address to his mother-in-law and we waited for the control number. The night became weary and my mom called me, she was worried with me, I got anxious and worried too and told Zach if I could go home now. He was a bit worried too and apologized to me because he got me in to trouble, so he told me to go home and gave me money for the cab fare. And about the money, he'll just ask his son's grandma to send it tomorrow in the afternoon because I promised him that I will meet him again by tomorrow.
In the morning, I woke up by the ringing sound of my phone, it was Zach who called me, he told me that his son got bored and was crying and he and his son's yaya can't do something to ease the child. He said his son wanted to watch action movies, so he asked me if I could bring a portable DVD player in the hotel where they're staying so that his son could watch movies. I said to him that we don't have that kind of DVD player, instead we have laptop and maybe I could bring it. So all was set, I will meet them in the afternoon inside Parkview Hotel. I was glad because I will be meeting his son. Afternoon has come so I decided to go before the rain comes pouring. As I got near Parkview Hotel, he told me his son is still sleeping so maybe we could go somewhere else where we can drink coffee, he told me Brew Berry Cafe would be perfect since he like the ambiance of the place. Then we went to the cafe and talked a lot. He treated me to a coffee drink. He asked me if I could show him the movies I prepared for his son. I pulled over my laptop and put it on the table. He told me that since we're also waiting for the money and for his son to wake up, we could search on the internet some gadgets selling online because he wanted to buy. I asked him why since he already have an iPhone, and a blackberry phone. He told me he is planning to give it to me. I told him that it doesn't matter because I already have a smartphone and an iPod to use and I am already contented with what I have but he insisted and told me that he feel so guilty and his conscience is engraving him because he got me in to trouble last night and asked me hassle favors. So I didn't insist anymore and changed the topic. While we were have conversations he tend to go inside the comfort room leaving his things in front of me. So I thought that he's really trusting me. I noticed that he'd already went inside of the comfort room several times so I asked him if there's something wrong. He told me that it is his stomachache causing him to go inside the CR for a couple of times. So I told him that he should buy medicine outside, he thought over about my suggestion and he told me that if it gets worse he will buy medicine. Minutes later, he went again inside the CR and as he got back, he told me if I could buy him medicine. Without hesitation and with the complete trust, I told him to look over my things while I buy him medicine. So I left the cafe and buy the medicine for his stomachache. As I got back to the establishment where I left Zach, he was nowhere to be found. I searched inside the CR and asked the waiters and the owner of the cafe if they saw the man who was with me the while time we were in the cafe but they said they didn't know where the man went but they saw the man left a minute after I left to buy medicine. I was in total shock and as if the energy inside me was totally drained as soon as I realized Zach has my belongings, my laptop, my wallet, my bag, my iPod 4th Gen, and my 500gb external hard drive.
I immediately went to the nearest police station and asked for their help, they interrogated me and I was compelled to tell them the whole story. I texted Zach in hope that he would reply to my messages. After several messages I sent to him, he replied to me, "Hala! Oh my!". I told the police that he replied to me and the officers motivated me to keep in contact with the suspect. I told Zach I would give to him anything just to retrieve my laptop because I have some important files in their. He told me, "I'm sorry. I just need the money po talaga.". I asked him to call me so that we could have a proper conversation, so he called me and told me that he will give me my laptop if I will give him money worth 10,000php. So I accepted his offer. I told the officers about this and they prepared themselves for an entrapment operation. Zach told me that we will meet inside Centrio Mall specifically inside J.Co Donuts. I knew the chance of this operation was 10% only but I never had allowed myself to lose hope. Zach called me on my phone and told me it would be better if I'd go inside the Mall first. So the cops and I went to the said mall and they told me the plan while we were in the Police Patrol Car. We arrived outside the mall and I headed immediately to J.Co Donuts establishment. I texted Zach that I am already in the place, he told me that the plan has changed, we will meet outside the Mall, I will hand him over the money and he will give me my things. And again, I reminded myself that the chance of this operation is only 10% so I prayed to God that this operation may be successful. I told him that I am going outside the mall and he told me he's riding a taxi cab and he'll just call me as soon as he arrives. The moment I stepped outside the premises of the mall, I saw a cab slowing down and I guessed it could be Zach. I went on the other side of the road and took a look inside the car from a distant. I confirmed to the police that it was Zach sitting on the front seat. I ran to the cab and stood on front of it so that it will go nowhere. The police noticed mu actions and they knew it was the cue. They went after me and told the driver to open the door and that they are cops. The driver did what he was told to do then the cops arrested Zach, the theft.
We proceeded immediately to the police station for further investigation and interrogation. Medias came over the station, ABS-CBN and GMA News. They interviewed me about what really happened and I told him the whole story.
After an hour, a complainant came over the police station and confirmed that it was Zach who took his things, iPhone 4S, watch worth 10,000php, and wallet with money worth 1,500 and identification cards in it. I recognized the complainant because he was the man I saw inside Shakey's Pizza Parlor. I then realized that it was the man the reason why Zach left the parlor hastily. The complainant told me his story and I discovered we experienced almost the same modus.
Now, I have retrieved all my belongings that were taken away from me by Jaypee "Zach" Luba Oca. Beware of this man. If you are also a victim of this fraud, file a complain in the police station 1 at DV Soria, Cagayan de Oro City.

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!

Suspected swindler masseur in CDO

This guy is constantly advertising his "sensual massage" services in Planet Romeo.  Someone has already complained that he does not know to how to give a massage and worst of all he threatens his clients with a gun.  He is currently using these numbers 0935-2118102 and 0906-6850628.  Beware of this guy.

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

Masseur swindler in PlanetRomeo

Here we go again.  Another gay swindler in Planet Romeo.  This time a guy pretending to be a masseur.  I have already noticed him posting his profile and services in Planet Romeo before.  Good thing I was able to save his photo.

According to the information I received, this guy gives a very lousy massage, in short he is not a trained masseur.  He brings a gun with him, threatening his customer and claims to be an employee of Southern Arms, a gun store in Cagayan de Oro City.  Southern Arms also owns VV Security Agency.

Beware of guys advertising online that they are masseurs, much more if they do not have photos.  Mga walay klaro na sila!

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.

How to Detect Online Dating Fraud

Good day! A warning to social networking media users (GayRomeo, Facebook and others).  Be careful who you meet or date online.  Several people have already complained of fraud or being swindled by people they met in Cagayan de Oro City.

Here are some 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.

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. Never go with these guys alone in your home. Always make sure someone is at home with you.

4. 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.

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!

Pregnant thief in Cagayan de Oro falls!

When I read this news article about a pregnant woman stealing cellphones from students and teachers, I remembered the robbery incident that happened to my ex-boyfriend in Cebu. (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cagayan-de-oro/local-news/2012/07/13/pregnant-thief-falls-231744)

He was in Ayala Mall with his best friend who just had an eyeball with a "gay" chatter.  They were roaming around the mall and finally decided to eat in McDonalds.  Suddenly the guy asked my ex-boyfriend for his cellphone, "wala daw siya load, paki text sa cellphone".  Without hesitation, my ex-boyfriend gave his cellphone to the guy.  Suddenly he went out of McDonalds, "wala daw signal" and before you can say HOY! he ran out of the mall with his cellphone.

There are so many swindlers out there that we have to be careful who to trust.  Daghan pud mga bayot nga masaligon ug dali ra matonto.  If you get swindled or robbed report it to the police immediately.  Do not just say "charge to experience" because these robbers and swindlers will do it again to another person.  Kung dili na ninyo sila i-report sa pulis, magbalik-balik lang na sila sa ilang pangilad.

DiscreetBai Advocacy

Some people still ask me, do you have AIDS?  Are you a victim of gay swindling?  My answer to this is NO and NO.   You do not have to be a victim of swindling or be infected with HIV AIDS to be vocal on these issues.  So why do I care about these issues?

According to the Department of Health over 90% of the current HIV AIDS infection in the Philippines was due to sexual contact, mostly men having sex with men (MSM).  This will greatly affect the LGBT (Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community in which we are all part of it.  Sooner or later you will know someone infected by this virus and it will hit you hard.  Haya ka na dayon maka huna-huna bahin sa HIV AIDS kung imong kaila nagkasakit na aning kagaw.  Why wait for the disease to knock on your doorstep?  That is why we have to fight this disease together, by being responsible enough to practice safe sex.  Care for each other!  Do not spread the disease!


The issue on gay swindling has been going on for several years now.  I have my encounters with call boys before but at that time they were still respectful and honest.  Karon na unsa naman ni sila?  What happened?  I was already alarmed when every month I would hear people complain about these guys.  In fact, if I would estimate the number of people who complained in the old DiscreetBai Forum, GayRomeo and here in DiscreetBai.com it might reach around 50 people and more are still complaining.  This has to stop!  It will not only affect the LGBT community but the image of the City of Cagayan de Oro.  We are becoming known as a city of swindlers!  The City of Golden Swindlers!  Gusto ba ninyo nga ang Kagayanon mailahan nga swindler?  I have lived most of my life in Cagayan de Oro and I love the city so much that I do not want a small group of swindlers destroying the city's image.


I hope people following DiscreetBai.com would take up my advocacy against HIV AIDS and gay swindling in Cagayan de Oro.  I am only but one person, imagine if we all do our part in this community.  Together we can solve these problems!

 

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....

Is this Noel, the gay swindler in CDO?

I logged in GayRomeo to warn people about gay swindling in CDO and found this profile very familiar.  Can anyone verify if this is Noel, the gay swindler previously discussed here in the blog.  Noel's GayRomeo profile was deleted a week ago and this particular profile was recently created.
