i am posting this based on experience. unang-una thank you for those people who blogged about this "networking scam" kasi kung di dahil sa kanila e baka nagpunta nako. anyway, pag may tumawag na sa inyong may address na ganito:

15th floor octagon building san miguel avenue pasig city

isipin niyo na kagad na networking yan. They call people and use this approach wherein they appear to be hiring people. bobolahin ka pa na they chose you because you come from a good etc and they ask you to come in business attire to make it appear like a job interview. A certain Armond Santos called me yesterday to tell me he got my number from a survey i answered and that i was one of a few he called because their company was looking for people from UP, Ateneo, UST and Lasalle. Other than that, he mentioned making 15-30k a month and that their company was US-based. basta persuasive sha. anyway, nagcommit ako, thinking that it was a job offer pero dahil di ko narinig fully ung nature ng job (which he really did not say, bingi lang pala tlga ako hehe) tinext ko ung tumawag sakin to text me the details again para masabi ko sa magulang ko. dahil di sha nagreply, i decided to google the address thinking it would lead me to the company's website. to my surprise, they were really not looking for people on their team but people to invest in their networking gimmick. ayun, thank you na lang sa mga nabasa ko di na ako nagpunta dun ngayon. tapos nagtext pa sha ulet kanina asking if i was still coming to the business meeting. sabi ko nalang thank you im not interested. nakapagcommit na rin ako sa iba. he asked if i wished to reschedule the meeting, sabi ko nalang, no need. hayun hehe.

ipopost ko ung number para additional information lang dun sa mga posibleng tawagan netong Armond Santos na ito. it's 0905-2670623. Very business-like ang dating niya kaya nakakadeceive. e yun lamang. :)
