the digital natives, we are the digital migrants. We,
adults, have not migrated yet to their world. What
are we waiting for? We do not need visas. We do
not need passports to be able to migrate into their
world.”

Popular Online Scams in the Philippines
Online Dating
Scams
It Happens When:
There are some scammers who take advantage of
the lonely who go on dating sites hoping they find
someone they can love. They ask money from the
victims in order to buy a webcam or for them to pay
for some sick relative. This goes on until by the end
of it all, these scammers would ask their victim to
send money via Western Union, or other money
transfer means.
How to Avoid It:
Do not send money to whomever you are dating
online, especially if you’ve never met.

Work-at-Home
Scams
It Happens When:
Who wants to earn money while sitting comfortably at
home? The problem is that they don’t say that you will
be the one buying the supplies, paying for the
newspaper ads, and doing all the trouble for a minimal
pay. There are a number of legitimate work-at-home
opportunities though. Web designers, developers,
copywriters and even some call center agents now enjoy
the perks of the internet working for legit stay-at-home
jobs. Just keep in mind that if you are going to have to
pay, then maybe there is a problem.
How to Avoid It:
RESEARCH. You may want to go to sites such as
Freelancer, and oDesk to get some work at home gigs.

MLM /
Networking
Scams
It Happens When:
They establish rapport online or thru text and invite
victims to a business meeting saying they are looking
for business partners to share their “blessings” with.
Once there, they offer very expensive products for
selling. They use “legit” testimonials, name-drop
celebrities, or show off success stories of people who
stayed with them, who now drive a nice car.
How to Avoid It:
Be reasonable and critical. Who would buy overpriced
items? Can you sell overpriced items to your loved
ones? Remember: There is no shortcut to success.
These businesses offer fast financial security with
minimal sweat, under the guise of “working smart”.

Phishing Emails
It Happens When:
Received an email telling you that something went wrong
with your bank account? If you will look at the email,
everything looks legit from the logos to the way the
sentences were constructed; everything seemed to
come from legitimate sources. However, when you get to
the link, you will be asked to enter your information data.
This is how they get your money.
How to Avoid It:
Just ignore the emails. Banks will call you if ever it
involves your security. Also, you can always verify with
your bank first when you receive these emails. Make
sure you are on a secured website.

Fund Transfer
Scam
It Happens When:
Ever received an email, more commonly, from Nigeria
that tells you about a story that he needs an accomplice
in order to launder huge amounts of money? According
to the email, it is worth millions. Of course, the greedy
person in you may actually consider it. The catch, you
need to come up with an initial fee that will be used to
finalize the transaction, such as bribe people who needs
to be bribed. Paying upfront, you will never get the
money that you thought you were going to get.
How to Avoid It:
Do not send money to anyone you do not know.

Wi-Fi Hotspot
Scam
It Happens When:
People love to connect to a free Wi-Fi connection.
What most people do not know is that these
connections leave you vulnerable to hackers. They
could be mining your credit card information when you
log on.
How to Avoid It:
Make sure to only use legitimate connections from a
coffee shop or from the establishment.
66. IT’S NOT LEGIT IF:
You have to pay to work.
The company isn’t earning from your work but
from fees they got from workers like you. It’s
like a pyramid scam. So if they’re asking you
to pay to get a job, better to turn it down and
try something else.
You have to recruit people to earn.
Jobs that require you to recruit and have a
“downline” to earn a commission from clicking
on ads or websites. Earnings depend on how
many you recruit or how big your downline is.
Yes, there’s some money to be made in this
venture, but it’s not a lot and it’s not stable.

IT’S NOT LEGIT IF:
They don’t require you to have ANY
skills to work.
There are jobs that welcome fresh graduates,
but rarely do we find legitimate jobs that say
they’re willing to hire anyone even if you have
no skills. If it’s a real job, your employer will
want you to have at least one skill to get the
job done.
They’re not clear about how they can
pay you.
Early on, ask how they’re going to pay you for
your work and when you can expect your
salary. If they can’t answer that question, be
wary and try applying elsewhere.

How to Avoid Scam Employers
Look for jobs from reputable websites.
The best places to find legitimate jobs from
legitimate employers is with reputable websites
like Jobstreet, Kalibrr, or LinkedIn. These websites
have been around for years and are continuously
making changes to ensure that both jobseeker and
employers are protected from scams.
Don’t be afraid to ask for references or
ask questions if you’re not sure.
Ask the employer if he has other Filipino workers.
If he does, ask if you could contact them. A
legitimate employer wouldn’t have a problem
offering references that can confirm that he’s
legitimate.
69. Be critical in your thinking about online posts.
Know the difference between fact, opinion, and false.
Understand that perspectives, thoughts and values
affect the way we behave online.
Learn to verify seemingly online fake news and
scams. Teach our students.
Think first before you post.
Remember
73. BE A GOOD EXAMPLE
Familiarize yourself with
new websites and mobile
apps.
Verify information from
different sites!
74. Keep your own account secure.
(password, security questions, personal
information)
Think before posting!
“Will it benefit me, my student, or my
community?”
BE A GOOD EXAMPLE
75. Be aware of how YOU use technology:
■ How often?
■ Where do you use it? (e.g., classroom)
■ Do the students always see you on your
phone?
■ Do you share unverified news and personal
information on your page?
■ Do you check-in to places on social media
in real time?
BE A GOOD EXAMPLE
77. REMIND YOUR STUDENT
● Dangers and strangers online
● Be careful about what they post
online
● Use what they know about
privacy to block strangers and
not their parents or teachers
78. REMIND YOUR STUDENT
What they post online now can
affect their future success
(e.g., college / job applications)
79. ● You want to learn from them
● They can talk to you
● You are willing to listen
Make them understand:
LISTEN and BE OPEN
80. Technology is not a distraction
when used wisely.
Technology can be a
tool for success.
83. Technology is here to stay.
It is virtually in every part of our lives.
We need to embrace it, and safeguard its proper
use, to protect ourselves and our students.
With proper attitude and knowledge, technology
does not have to be a distraction but a tool for
success.
