An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! šŸ‡µšŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Yes, this was happened to me, also. Parang gumagawa sila ng ploy na as if may "unauthorized access" sa account mo. At that time, tatlong email from them na-receive ko. Isang email ang napaka-fishy ā€” hinihingan ako ng valid ID at selfie para ma-access ko ulit ang account. Of course, hindi ako nagbigay at ayun makalipas ng ilang buwan, somehow hindi na ako hinihingan ng docs. Dun ko na dinelete ang account ko.

Huh, I see. Thanks for the info.

This is actually the second e-mail I received from them, both of them are of the format Iā€Œ quoted. Requiring a valid ID and a selfie to access my fucking FB account is just so Meta (har! har!)

Maybe it's just my paranoid tendencies speaking, but the reason acted fast this time is because if ever it were someone trying to hack into my account, they might be able to contact my family and relatives, and IDK, ask money from them, I suppose? My immediate family knows what's up though, but for the others? I can't be bothered to explain to them, let alone even talk to them. The only reason I didn't block/unfriend them is because I don't want to deal with any possible fallout.

At any rate, it'd be very weird then if they suddenly think I contacted them to ask for money or sth. Maybe I'm just too paranoid, lol!
