Travel Agency LMT (beware)

[xylide 2]

I agree, Xylide did not act concerned, and is only now posting.

pinayamerican said that they went to LMT's office the next day before her flight and the only person in the office qas xylide's cousin. And she's not working there anymore? Oh well...interesting,huh? But maybe xylide will say that the cousin resigned after that day or a week ago?

my cousin works there,yeah.. she opens the office early in the morning and just waiting for her so called Boss(Laarni)...i think she resigned just a week ago coz she cant take it anymore..

[xylide 2]

wonder where the cousin went??? and if xylide still have a pending refund there, why did the cousin resigned?

some of the details of this story does not fit... the circumstances and details given by both parties just don't match.

I read between the lines, and I can see the real story here. There's a collusion somewhere to scam VJ members, I hope the rest of the people will learn to discern truth and not get taken in. This is a public forum, don't trust anybody you've just met... Filipino or not.

Likewise, if you attend the CFO seminar, they will tell you that most Filipino scammers will look for Filipino victims in foreign land. Because they are easier targets since they can make you feel more at ease and you will let your guard down because they are your fellow "kababayan" (Citizen).

To the OP, i doubt that you will ever get your money back. Charge it to experience and learn from this. Don't feel bad, lots of people get scammed all the time, there is no shame in being too friendly in trusting. The shame lies on those people who scammed you.

Good luck!

what a 16 year old can do about this issue? she just worked there and didn't know that she's working to a scammer...

yea i still have pending refund,and right now my parents are the one doing the action to get that and sue Laarni...

Any attorney suggestion or law office to contact. Oh, please don't scam us this time. We really need legal actions and relevant people to rely on.

I understand the anger and frustration but could we please stop accusing VJ members of dishonesty and corruption? Passing judgement on others when you do not have the full story is very unkind. Thank you.

I know, she is a certified scammer. It's easy for her to do it. And i feel bad that I was scammed...soo soo bad.

I can't say anything but really really sorry on things happened to you PinayAmerican. Reading your first post that you actually asked Xylide if it's not a scam? and she said that "no" because her cousin is working there. It's confusing because Xylide now is saying on some of her post that her cousin doesn't know anything about "her" work much because she was just a P. A? and only 16 years old? Wondering why Xylide trust that agency much just because her cousin is working there!

I'm really sorry for you PinayAmerican, thanks in some way by putting this thread here so people will be aware of scammers like Laarni.

Cheer up girl, look at the bright side 'bout your experienced,, you warned a lot of people and pretty helpful to us. Everything has a reason, maybe you are just the instrument so Laarni will stop on her bad work and hopefully will be put in jail. We all are in your side..

(big big big hug for you PinayAmerican)

We all feel sad and sorry for you...but DO NOT LET this ruin your life and your fiance/husband time together or your parents for that matter. Yes, understandable it a lot of money in any countries...not just RP.

You are already doing as much as you can, you also warning other VJ members and we appreciated that...

People like the SCUM in the pic above, they live hard and die Hard too....because somewhere along the line they (the SCUM of this earth) may end up scamming the wrong person will get what they deserve...i have seen it happen (and it will not be a pretty sight either)

Im so sorry to hear of what happened to you.

I suggest you tell your parents to still deposit her checks as dated and your bank should return this checks to you after 3 days because then you can also file for a case under BP22 or the "Anti-Bouncing Checks Law". Since you have her picture, I would suggest you go to the police station and file for a blotter. Probably one in Cabanatuan and another in the City where her previous Travel Agency is. If Xlide's cousin is only 16 years old, she should have not even hired her since she is under age. Try to check if Xlide's cousin can help you guys. She should be willing to help you since xlide mentioned in her previous post that the reason her cousin left the agency was because she was "fed-up" with how the owner was scamming other people. She should be more than willing to help. She is a possible "accomplice" to all this (Im not saying she is but then if someone files for a case, she can be filed one too as an accomplice).

But then again, like Tngirl suggested, you might just have to charge all this to experience. Getting a lawyer and going through the judicial process would cost a lot of time and more so money. Probably more than the $800 you lost. It's sad but that's true. You might want to think about pursuing the case. But definitely file for a blotter at the police station. Google her name and see if a new travel agency has been set-up. Try to visit forums and check if their are other victims that you could work with. Xlide, to prove you innocence to all this, all you got to do is to involve yourself.

Just my thoughts and I hope I was able to help.

PinayAmerican,

Use the media to tell your story. VJ is just one of them. We have YouTube, Facebook, Friendster, Blogpost.... internet could reach anyone. Include all the people involve... you mentioned laarni, xylide and xylide's cousin...

But before you do it, talk to a lawyer to know your boundaries. You want to nail them... NAIL THEM HARD!

yes, we're going to contact an attorney today to help us. Thanks!

smart move pinayamerican. someone has to put a stop to this and since the bank already returned the bounced check to you, its much easier for you to take legal action. dont expect to get your money back because you wont , in fact you might end up spending more for lawyer's fees . however, money is not the issue here anymore. this is a matter of principle. if nobody does anything, this scam will go on and on because Laarni will think she can get away with it.

yeah..how u call this,since she is only 16, she is not like a full-time employee,so she doesn't get paid as a real employee gets..just to earn some,she went there and got hired,without even knowing that it is really a scammer...

i really cant make u all believe..im so sorry..

im doing the best i can do,i told my parents to go to the NBI in our City and they just did...

[PinayAmerican 0]

Yes, Xylide, I suggest your cousin to be a witness. She should not act as an accomplice. When we were there and she told us that Laarni wasn't there, neither at her condo unit. I asked her to give me the unit number so we could check and she said, "No, she isn't really there." And, I felt bad when she said that. She should have helped us. She should have been more helpful. Your mom told my mom that we aren't the only victims, your cousin should have known that because we aren't the only complainants. Laarni got around 200, 000 and I don't know where she uses the money. Tell Arla to be brave enough and be a witness in case our imbestigador is pushed through this end of August. She should have a word, whether she is 16 years old, A.P., or whatever. She was there during the transaction,she was there when we complaint. She knows exactly what happened. And being 16 years old and a minor, laarni got another case to face about that.

[Rocky_nBullwinkle 6]

Hey Pinay American, you got Laarni's photo. Why don't you tell your parents to file a case againts her and the travel agency and publish her photo in the tabloids there like People's Journal, Balita and warn the public that she is "estafadora", scammer, con artist, etc. That's the way they do it in the newspapers.
