Some victims commented on the advisory seeking for help.
“Paano ‘yung mga kababayan nating na-scam galing Davao… sana naman matulungan ninyo sila maibalik ‘yung pera nila. Sobrang dami nila na-scam from Davao, commented one Facebook user.
Others expressed their opinion on how what action should be taken against the online scammers.
“Those who are taking advantage and illegal recruitment should be dealt accordingly both individually or by group,” said one netizen.
