🚨SCAM AWARENESS — PLEASE READ, EVERYONE! 🚨
Muntik na po kaming ma-scam recently by someone who placed an order through our page. 😔
The customer sent us a proof of payment, so we initially proceeded with preparing the order for booking. But before booking the delivery, we checked our GCash account—and the payment still hadn’t reflected.
We politely asked the customer if the bank transfer they used was realtime since wala pa rin kaming received payment.
And then… biglang hindi na kami ma-message. We were blocked. 😅
Good thing we always make it a habit to verify payments first before booking or releasing any order, kaya naiwasan namin ang possible loss.
📌 REMINDER TO OUR FELLOW SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS:
Always verify that the payment is actually reflected in your account. Proof of payment alone is not enough. Never release an order just because a screenshot was sent.
And to everyone, especially those who support small businesses: please let’s play fair. Behind every small business is someone working hard, investing their own money, time, and effort to serve you. ❤️
Hindi man kalakihan ang isang order, malaking bagay na po iyon sa isang small business.
Support small businesses. Order honestly. Pay fairly. 🤍
Sharing this not to shame anyone, but to raise awareness and hopefully prevent other small businesses from experiencing the same thing.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Loreta’s Café! 🫶🏻☕🍪
