Earlier this morning, I got a phone call while in the office from a certain Ms. Corpuz. She was talking incessantly about how I was chosen to avail of the VIP Platinum Card that when supposedly used in conjunction with your credit card would entitle you to to a 40% discount in whatever airline and hotel you want to book. What enticed me was the one-time fee of P4495 in exchange for lifetime membership! A thing like this was too good to be true and sadly, it was.
Good thing that after hanging up the phone, my first impulse was to google the words VIP Platinum + Scam and pronto, several websites appeared confirming that it was indeed fake, phony, BS, or whatever-you-wanna-call-it.
Lesson learned - paranoia isn't always a bad thing. Spread the news everyone. Stay on guard.
