Okay, so on May 5, 2026, I ordered Jo Malone perfumes from this Facebook page: Roseveil Scents. They looked and sounded legitimate (warning: Scammers always looked legit anyway 😡). And then today, the package just arrived. I handed Php1,200.00 to the delivery rider and received the item. I was confident everything would be okay so I didn't open the box when the rider took my payment.
Then when I got inside, I immediately opened the parcel because I was thrilled to finally receive my Jo Malone perfumes. But when I fully opened the box I had the shock of my life when I saw a microphone stand and a 360 Perry Ellis perfume because these are not my orders!
I immediately messaged the sellers but to my shocked, they didn't reply and eventually blocked me. I also could no longer access their Facebook page which means they blocked me also. So I asked my sister to access their page and post a comment that they are scammers to warn other buyers. But they kept on deleting her comments and she was also blocked!
So now I have this learning lesson to never, never transact directly on social media pages no matter how looked legitimate the sellers are. I don't have regrets anyway, I took it as a learning lesson. Php1,200.00 is just a small amount to let anxiety ruined my day. It's just a small amount what I am thinking right now are other victims who don't have much money in life, especially during this difficult period in our time.

| When I unbox the microphone stand it's badly damaged! They already blocked me on messenger. Oh God! Please punish these scammers! |
So here are my learning lessons today: I would never transact again with online sellers on Facebook pages no matter how legitimate they sounded to be. If I'll buy stuff online then shopee and lazada are the most legitimate platforms. Don't be fooled with buy one take one schemes for branded products most of these offers are too good to be true.
To all online buyer out there, you need to open the parcel first before you give your payment to the rider to make sure you are receiving the correct products. This is where I got wrong. I should have opened the parcel first before handing out the payment.
It's bad to wish harm to others but hopefully all scammers will suffer terrible consequences in life, may they never experience comfort in their mortal life for what they did to people!
