Facing four girls at once, this woman surprised everyone within minutes of her appearance, but what happened afterward is what sparked endless debate online — who actually prevailed in this confrontation?
And we are sad because you seem to be just a face at the moment, victims of what we call a love scam.
Love scam.
Yes sir.
>> Okay.
In all love scam cases, my first question is, ma’am, how did you meet this Genie Gen? What is he through, what is he on the page of the tumboys, did I get in there >> and then I am a single mother.
Yes.
I’m looking for something I said I don’t want to love a man anymore because a woman is a servant.
Yes.
I’ve been fooled many times, from the first to the second, from the second time I became a husband, to ours, straight to the point, I became a hooker, then all of that was taken from me by my real husband.
That’s why I went to another country because of that.
Yes.
>> I don’t know where I didn’t fight for the one on my side.
>> Yes ma’am.
>> That’s how I felt, that’s Tomboy, that’s Genie.
>> Yes.
What happened to me when we said we borrowed 20k and then I caught him immediately, where did he go? I immediately realized that he was a liar.
>> Mm.
Mm.
Because the three of us talked, before I gave him the money.
>> That’s right.
That’s right.
>> He was the owner of the pig and then I.
>> Okay.
>> I sent him the money >> then about 2 weeks later I called him.
I said, “Why the pig? It seems like he didn’t remind me.” >> Yes.
>> Then what I did was I didn’t point at him.
You’re dining on one.
I said, “Sister, where’s the pig? Let me see.” >> Yes.
>> He said, “What pig?” That’s when I found out he didn’t have one.
>> None.
Then the picture that was sent to me was of different sizes of pigs.
There, the pigs were all different sizes.
That’s it.
I said it’s been a total of one week, so you’ll give me back the money? >> Yes.
>> Then he said he bought it like that because someone will release some of them as long as he leaves a lot.
>> Mm.
The money was spent in short order, he said >> yes.
He’s already cut his hair.
Or he’s already been drinking.
Every time I make a video call, he’s already there in some parts of the place.
So ma’am, does that mean you made a video call with him personally? Yes.
What’s even more painful is that I also talked to his mother when it was his birthday, I even gave him 2k.
Mm.
Go to his mother’s place, where it’s appropriate for my birthday or something like that.
Okay.
Then when he left Manila, he came here and asked me for 500 again.
Ma’am, do you have the chats you were asking for? I’m still complete.
I was complete from the start when I met him until he blacklisted me.
Then he blocked you.
I’m really blacklisted.
I’m really blacklisted.
And you found out later on ma’am that he’s doing this to other people too.
I’m just here.
I just found out when I did something that I had a hunch like that.
He even had a relationship with me and then one by one they came out.
Now we have a GC that everyone he has a relationship with is a bastard, they’re all bastards, sir >> ‘ ma’am I’m telling you I don’t know why the bastard is really chosen >> ah I don’t know maybe because they relate to pigs but I don’t know ah but how many of you are in GC ma’am how many of you are in what >> love for pigs six but in
Now he said he’s in a relationship.
He also said he’s in a relationship with a man here in Mandaluyo.
>> All around.
Okay.
Or him.
He’s beautiful.
>> There’s no choice, right? Strike anywhere.
But how long was the relationship? >> What is he like? It’s only been a few months, but in those months we weren’t really together at all, he just called me whenever.
>> That’s it.
>> Really use it ma’am >> when he calls me.
That’s all, but tell him to call me, he doesn’t >> want to.
He says he’s busy.
And then there are months when he doesn’t use his cellphone.
That’s the one he’s with.
That means he went back to Hong Kong.
He’s hiding from me.
We noticed that almost all of his relationships are OFWs.
Yes.
Yes.
Because that’s why I was the only one who was brave enough to go back to the Philippines.
Ma’am Sharon, good afternoon.
Ma’am, I’ll just confirm what the story is about your pig and Ma’am Genie.
Um, we were the first to have sex, I was her first relationship back in 2020.
>> Okay.
>> Ah, as for ours, what’s that, um, that’s the pig we bought because we were going to make it into a hen to breed.
>> Ah, how much did you ask for, ma’am? Um >> I bought it, ah, I bought it for PH,8 because the pig is still a baby >> and then we said we’ll raise it like that.
Then the rice will come next.
That’s true, ma’am.
That’s true.
You saw a picture of the pig he bought and raised.
Yes.
There is.
There is.
I would like to see the picture, no.
Because I just think, ma’am, since I’ve held it like this, the picture of the pig that was sent to you was probably also sent to ma’am here.
To ma’am Mel Chora.
Ma’am, is this the family picture you have? I’m not the only one for you.
I’ve memorized that.
That’s what was passed on to me.
That picture of the pig.
I’m sure, ma’am, you all saw that picture.
You all share in that pig.
Sure ball, ma’am, no.
Ah okay.
Okay.
Thank you, ma’am, Sharon, no.
Ah, what I want is to establish, that’s why I’m talking to them all, no.
Is it the same scheme?
The picture they are sending them is the same.
They probably just looked at the neighbor.
They took a picture of the neighbor’s pig.
That’s it.
Actually, ma’am, it’s not just you.
There are many cases where the scheme is the same.
They will join a Facebook group looking for a partner.
Then they will offer the partner a business after a few weeks of being with them.
Yes.
Then when they get the black money, they will look for a new partner again.
That’s my point, for me, that’s why I dared to come here to be helped so that he can see what he really looks like >> Yes.
>> So that he won’t fall prey to another person.
>> That’s right ma’am, no, but our only solution to that is that he really is a cyber crime.
>> I hope he can be charged because not only is it not easy to earn money as an OFW.
Our lives are also at stake in finding our way in a foreign country.
Yes.
No ah anyway ah I said this case is just like this over and over again and we will not allow him to do anything.
The more consistent the scheme, the stronger the case for staff.
In fact, that’s what we are doing, that’s what we are putting here.
Yes, that’s right.
>> Yes.
So that’s right, ma’am, 4,000 one time only.
>> I’m okay.
>> And after that one time, ma’am, where are you now? >> No.
He didn’t care, he already found someone else.
Okay.
That OFW Jenna.
Jenna Fernandez.
That’s the one she brought us together with.
Okay.
Don’t fight, ma’am, because our opponent here is Hindi, that’s what she is.
Yes.
Ah okay ma’am no.
So there are a lot of you.
Ah I just want to ask all of you while you are here we need permission.
Can we enter your group chat ma’am? >> Yes.
>> So we can look at the list of names that we can make complainanTS. Yes.
Okay.
Because the case here really is estafa, right? Yes.
Ah because he’s appropriating it.
Misappropriation means I asked you for money.
I asked for 20,000 for that pig.
I used a picture of a pig to show you that it’s true that we have a pig farm, later on I misappropriated it by using your 20,000 for my vice.
>> Yes.
>> Not when I fooled you so that I could give it to you so that you could give me your money.
So it’s a closed estafa.
What is more known here is that he used it through means of a computer system in relation to our anti-cyber crime law.
Now I don’t know, to everyone on the video call, ma’am, do you know where he is from? Yes.
Because the others who were in a relationship with him were also from there and they saw him.
What I didn’t do was you, ma’am, you saw him personally, I went home, when I was on vacation, I came home in 2 weeks, just 2 weeks.
Very good, right? Ah, that means we can really pinpoint where he is so we can send court processes, search warrants if ever, right? >> So he’s a real person, he’s not using a fake identity.
>> He is a real person.
But what’s bad about this is what sister Maritis said >> ah, his last family is like where is it? Yes, that’s what he was accused of and then his >> ones are also in debt.
>> Okay, ma’am, do you have anything to say about my video, ma’am? >> Ah, our relationship has been more than one year, ah, we are also through LDr.
So last time I first came back from here to Hong Kong.
So I went on vacation with them for two weeks.
It was only 2 weeks because I was in the Philippines for 3 monThS. So the same thing happened since we became friends, not just what, more than maybe if you rent it all out, it won’t be 100,000, maybe 200,000 more, you rented it all out, so back to what is the transaction, transaction, what is my account here, how do I send money to the Philippines, ma’am, there, to me >> to 100,000, ma’am, what is the purpose noun when you are giving me business too?
apparently.
>> Yes.
What did he say to me, he called me ma because my children used to call him dada.
So he said, “Ma, what are we, little ones?” he said, “You finance it and I’ll make it grow.” Believe me.
He said, “I’ll make it grow.” >> So, at that time, they were going to take it, what was that? “That’s called a halili.”
It means you give money to people and if it’s not pigs, you’ll pay with rice.
So what’s it like? So we had about eight pigs and two hens.
Did you see them in person, ma’am? Ma’am, you stayed with them for two weeks.
Did you count the pigs? If there really were pigs? Ah, when I got back here, then what, then what, because of course I hadn’t seen him at that time.
So I haven’t given that much yet.
But I’ve sent money like that before.
For example, let’s say he got sick and went to the hospital even though he wasn’t sick or of course my partner, what would I do? You’ll send me money, but I don’t have any >> really, ma’am >> then he has a lot of alabay, so even in the rice fields, he took a few boxes, how many boxes, even though he didn’t have a peso >> so what I did is I also sent money to pay for people to study.
Aro, ah, the one who fertilized the crops, what would I do?
rice so that the rice would grow, that’s how it was until the rice grew, so that was all for me, I didn’t know when we became friends, that time we had a lot of rice, there were pig farms, he still had one, it was like we were taken as a couple, it was like they were taken as a couple >> it was like we were taken as a couple >> really, it was like a couple >> so say goodbye to me, we went together, he told me, he introduced me to his other relationship at that time, that was his aunt.
He said, “I’m going home to my aunt’s house.” That’s how his maid went home, and his daughter was not with him.
He was alone.
So I trust him.
>> That’s really how it is, ma’am, in today’s world, men are not just fools anymore.
>> Ah, even in girl to girl relationships >> they really are fooling around.
Oh, what he did to me because of course my hardships are so stressful in life.
>> Yes.
>> He is so stressed out in life that even if he doesn’t have any, he will press you to ask for money.
What’s the matter, of course I have two children, I have two students, I’m the only one who takes care of them.
Even though my children are with my ex, I’m still the one who supports everything because, well, my ex and I have been separated for 8 years.
So all that time I didn’t get any punishment, just him.
>> Okay.
>> So everything he sold, he didn’t even give it back to me, this ex of his now saw what we had become.
He saw how the rice was sold.
But he didn’t give me a single peso back, not even to my children.
I said, “Your whole family will die if you send anything to your mother.” What’s worse, even her whole family knows what she did.
Because when they take Bibles from people, if someone pays, including her older brother.
So even her mother talked to me when Jenny asked me to talk to the other one too.
>> Okay.
>> So his whole family knows very well what their son is doing.
So that’s what’s upsetting.
You’ve been a good person to them but they’ve made you a >> fool, that’s too much.
>> Okay, ma’am.
Because it’s just money.
I know my palm here, I’m fighting for it now.
>> Malina.
Okay, ma’am.
Okay, thank you.
No, it’s clear that he did the same thing to all of you.
So these are separate counts, all of you.
We will all cooperate with you.
File your complaint with the NBI.
Sir William, good afternoon, sir.
Will >> hello, good afternoon.
We have complainants here in our office who seem to have been scammed, sir.
Ah >> yes.
Stafa in relation to RA 10175.
anti-cyber crime law po ang ating kakaso.
Pero ‘yun nga po, namin kailangan ng expertise ng ating NBI para mag-fact finding pa po tayo kasi we have to ascertain the amounts, we have to ascertain yung scheme ah kung nasa ang pera if possible and that’s the expertise of our NBI.
Ah so sir we are asking for your help.
Uh maybe ma’am because she is here in the Philippines can go to you to execute our sworn statement.
And I hope you can help us, ah let’s just help our Genny Lugatiman, no name.
Yes Mr. >> Ah so sir okay okay we’re hoping na >> to cooperate with you regarding this case sir William.
Yes, Sir uh well the office is very willing to accommodate such cases because we already have quite a few very similar cases here.
Yes.
Love scams.
Yes sir.
>> So yes ah just send our complainant here so that at least we can get the details then we will start our investigation to build a case and if ever that we will file a case as our subject.
>> There.
So, thank you so much, Sir William.
No, again, we highly respect the NBI because of your fact finding skills so that our case will be more polished when we do proceed to prosecution.
Thank you so much, Sir William.
We will be in touch.
Thank you, >> there are four of you so far who have spoken on this program and you seem to have the same style of deception.
>> Again, that’s what I was saying.
That’s a red flag for a scammer.
Yes.
Which means they stick to one scheme because it works and they’ll keep repeating it.
That’s my point.
Yes.
Yes.
Because he told me that there was nothing I could do about it.
He said I couldn’t be helped.
Well, >> that’s what he told me.
Ah, that’s right.
Ah, unfortunately, I have to say this for everyone watching, especially our OFWs.
>> Ah, that’s why you are the chosen victims of the scammers here.
You are the ones who are given fake information by these scammers.
because they know that you will eventually have to leave the Philippines.
You don’t have time to pursue a case.
That’s right.
What? So let’s be doubly careful if we are OFWs.
It’s really difficult to pursue a case here in the Philippines because the law takes a long time.
That’s what I told him when he got the 20k from me.
I told him, “Don’t fool me because I’m going back to the Philippines.
If you cheated on me, you’ll have a place with me.
That’s what they did because that’s why they were let out because of me.
That’s why I said we shouldn’t leave anyone behind.
Maybe you’ll leave me behind.
Just you.
>> Oh no.
It doesn’t seem like it, ma’am.
It seems like you’re both equally angry.
Ah, that’s great.
>> Yes.
The big one.
Eh >> ph,000 more is just a joke.
E >> if only I could just give it to him.
I’m not the biggest.
Everything I sent is there, all of it is in SS.
Is there anything else, I still have friends who can testify.
>> There.
>> My whole family.
Can testify too.
>> There.
We will send all of that to the NBI when we go to the coordination of our staff so that we can call Ma’am Genie and talk to her.
What really happened here? Right? Why are you repeatedly taking money from our OFWs? Let’s schedule it.
We will bring all the documents we have and we will cooperate during the process of our facting.
I can only tell you, this is what I told you, I will beat you to the punch for challenging me that we will not reach the tulpo.
I am here now.
There will be more scammers after that.
Maybe it’s not just me, not just ate Marites.
You have been scammed or have been scammed many times who will still appear on TV >> and will cooperate with me so that you go to jail.
>> Okay.
>> Because it’s not easy to earn money abroad.
It’s hard to earn CR.
Well, you still have a cheap boss there.
>> That’s right, ma’am.
Ah but let’s get it back, okay, to all the ma’ams who are here today on the video call and in the studio, we’ll get it back.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you.
Thank you so much.
