I received a private message here in Virily from this person needing to share something to me. Thinking that she might be one of the members who was sking tips on how to get views and use Virily, I sent an email that account asking how can I help her.
She responded… and now I know this is the beginningst of a scam. My instinct told me to immediately searched for this kind of modus operandi and it is absolutely right!
I have reported this to Virily and hope that they will do something about this matter, before he./she victimizes some naive members.

Question of
The message was “She inherited a huge amount of money from a poisoned husband, but she has a cancer and dying. She needs someone to take care of her inheritance of $4.5 Million to donate to a charity of Widows and homeless children.
-
? She can donate it herself because she is still alive. Why me?
-
-
Question of
I could have believed her because she and her husband are both Christians. She blesses me and talked about God several times in the email.
-
?? Christians Fellowships are tight knits, and I don’t even belong to her group. Why me???
-
-
Question of
She is from the Philippine. But I am sure that the picture below was just stolen.
-
???If she is a Filipino … she should know that it is Philippines with s. and she doesn’t need me to do this task because for sure she got a lot of relatives and friends.
-
-
Question of
If i continued my correspondence with her, she will ask me to send her $150.
-
???? Wrong person, I may look a gullible person, but I definitely won’t send money.
-
That is Nigeria scam. They were the initiators of this kind of scam.
sad why people are doing this and using the vulnerability of other people. tsk!
It is a result of unemployment.
and easy money probably.
Unfortunately, everyone has a possibility of receiving such messages. And the scammers are becoming more and more inventive. So, let’s try to do our best and not to get into their networks!!!
oh yeah, the reason why i am willing to help is that she’s a Filipino and also she might need help to earn here in Virily, I am very willing to help.
Thanks for the warning people will do anything to get money. Sell even their very soul…It usually goes back to them, call it Karma if that’s what you call it….
you are welcome I just hope that it was not too late
Most legit Virily users would comment on articles before sending a message.
I think you are right. but sometimes people would want to know more first before spending time here.
I got that message too, but didn’t bother to reply. Plus, it is odd for anyone to message me on Virily, other than Mavic for one of her quizzes : )
hhahha true. I am still thinking of what to do for the next quiz. lol
I got the message too, but I learned to ignore such messages. You should be careful not to click any links or files from similar messages, because they can infect your device.
yes no link at all. i just replied. this people suck ?
I also received the same message from that person! My first action was to check the user’s profile and also immediately put the name in Google search which turned out she was indeed a fraud.
I myself have received such private messages twice here and several times before on two sites like Virily too, even those that directly entered my email.
I suggest to all friends that we don’t immediately send emails to such people because email addresses are valuable personal things that can be used to do many things by irresponsible people.
huhu… ok fine … you are like my mother, reminder here, reminder there. just kidding. you are right. no safe place in internet.
Did you forget that I am your mother’s twin brother?
yeah I forgot then that’s make you my Uncle.
Sshhh… Please don’t mention it here, I will feel too old.
why i am still young… you don’t look like one no worries. ??
I also received this message and ignored it. I received a message again today. The person has just changed the e-mail address and the image a little.
wow… nice is the person still from the Philippines?
Yes, he’s still from the Philippines ?
tsk, tsk tsk, i hope there is no syndicate running this scam from the Philippines
I also got message from her. Thanks for sharing.
See most of us were given a message. tsk tsk tsk.
She also wrote to me the same content dear friend … I simply ignored it …. I know such scams
hahaha So it was just me, who paid attention to this person. tsk!
Just so you know that there’s another page here on Virily and a new picture … and her old people did not block her … Virily did nothing
i see, I didn’t know that it was my first time to receive here. maybe you should report
The question if you could achieve something … I wrote to her to report her
ahhhh nope, this people have so many accts. so they can go without them even noticing it.
Scam artist is too much of a compliment.
Philippines in the profile and Ivory Coast in the e-mail, it almost seems like she copied and pasted a scam e-mail, bad one because it doesn’t make much sense.
It looks like the account is no longer available here, thanks for reporting! ?
I really have no idea of her whereabouts but for sure this picture is stolen from someone else. Thanks for replying.
Yes, that’s very likely. If it was the case, there are chances we wouldn’t even be talking of a lady, but a man. ??
you are right! I showed this to someone here, and he said, most probably from Malaysia. The English is not that bad comparing to Nigerian scam artists.
This is a common form of scam emails circulating around the internet. This person also sent me a message and I quickly deleted it because if you want to say something, you should say it outright.
yes, you are right. although I know that this could not be her.
it sounded totally legit to me…
I got really worried some might fall into her trap. haha but apparently it was just me. phew… but what worries me more is that they infiltrate sites like this.
I would like to discuss this with you more, but there is a Nigerian prince who needs my help…
I am so gullible, eh. I don’t know why I always believe right away without any doubt as if I did not know.
the important thing is that you are learning how to recognize an online scam
yes, and i am glad that, no one was ever victimized yet (I hope!)
it was pretty clumsy, so I don’t think anyone fell for it
I was so closed. But I had this experience before from a rich architect. Who failed when he told me he sent 32OOO pounds in the mail along with his grandmother heirloom necklace for me.
i said, you know that sending money even just $1 is not allowed by mail. lol
Same here, she contacted me too and I just ignored her …
Also I’ve seen some “reader’s digest” scam … they mail you something weekly (say like you moved forward into next round …blah) … and then you just keep mailing back (since mailing fee is paid by them)…
Eventually, you’ll need to subscribe to the digest to move forward …
hahaha so apparently it was just me who bothered to answer her back… phew!!! glad to know.
Actually I was tempted to respond to her … to see what she had up her sleeves … 🙂
Anyway, you did us a huge favour … who knows, someone was about to be scammed and read this!!
First, I really like to help someone who likes to earn a little here. Then after I found out that this was just a scam, I thought she might victimize someone here because for sure we trust this site.
I also received and quickly deleted the same message.
haha. so true that I am a gullible one. sometimes I am really gullible.
This is the commonest fraud beware
Thanks for reading, yes, but thing, is, they have infiltrated decent sites like this.
