I am posting this to serve as a PUBLIC NOTICE that I am NOT AN ONLINE SELLER

AND TO DISCREDIT ANYONE USING MY PHOTO/NAME INTO FURTHER COMMITTING

ANY FORM OF FINANCIAL FRAUD. May this help forestall online harassment.
A facebook user under the name of RAZ ENGCO posted pictures of me on different
online buy and sell sites maliciously imputing that I am engaged into fraudulent
business of selling iphones. She further asks other FB users to share her post and to
spread my picture with the following disparaging caption:
Nagtiwala ako sa babaeng ito na nag sesell nang iphone. Dahil maganda sya hindi
kaduda duda. Pinaasa nya akong ipapadala nya ang iphone. Pero in 7days, walang
dumating. Nakapagbayad na ako sa kanya. Please help me to find this woman. Taga
Iloilo po sya. Pakikalat na din para wla na syang mabiktima. Maraming Salamat!
Her posts gathered a maximum of 150 comments some defending me but most are
offensive and insulting. A few compared me to Jobelle Bascug.
I sent RAZ ENGCO a message formally introducing myself and requesting her to
delete her post because it has caused dishonor, discredit and contempt on my part.
I told her that she might be a victim of an online scam, however, I am in no way
involved with it, and that my photo was only used to defraud her. She never replied.
I reported the post as scam but nothing happened.
Desperate to clear my name, I decided to share her post with a warning that any
subsequent posts that will tend to blacken my name/image will be dealt accordingly.
She then replied with her contact details and asked me to call her. I did. I clearly
presented my side of the story with the end goal of convincing her that I am not the
one who took her funds, and that like her, I am also a victim. She refused to listen,
and repeatedly demanded money from me.
From our 30-minute phone conversation, I found out that she allegedly sent the
money to a viber user bearing my photo and with a viber name of Maybelline. The
mode of payment was via GCASH. Now, the striking part, she cannot give the
GCASH account, name of the payee, the exact address, and transaction receipt and
other pertinent data. She blatantly accused me of ripping her off because of the
mere fact that I am from Mindanao and that the viber account was registered in
Mindanao. Such a shallow inference (or lack of it). However, referring to her
foregoing photo caption, she already declared that Taga Iloilo po sya, citing the
alleged scammer. RAZ ENGCO clearly didnt concoct her facts well.
With a warn of a law suit, she deleted her post while she constantly send me
messages of blackmail telling that if I wont help her she will further malign my
reputation.

I cannot fathom her motive, really. If she was certainly a victim of an online financial
fraud, she is partly to blame for sending money to someone she doesnt even know,
first/family name wise and for failing to secure the GCASH transaction receipt.
I just want to defend myself from such baseless imputations. Help me
spread the warning that somebody else is using my photo and ever ready
to steal money from anyone unintelligent enough to send money to some
nameless fictitious being with a convincing profile picture. May this
enlighten RAZ ENGCO.
