Totally Scammed

My friend, Lexi Gancayco, owns a very trendy, well-received online store, The Second Shop. With its attractive graphic designs and welcoming internet ambience, who wouldn't be privy to ordering from its well-picked selection right away?

After the recent launch of The Second Shop's 13th Collection, I ordered something right away. Afterwards, I received a text from an unknown number, who stated that she was Lexi and she needed me to pay right away, since she would go on vacation afterwards. Thank goodness for my tight pursestrings, because I informed her that I could only pay a week after.

Recently, I came across Lexi's recent blog entry:


+This scammer preys on those who comment “NEXT” with their cellphone numbers
+The Scammer incorrect prices compared to those prices on the site
+the scammer asks you to pay as soon as possible for he/she will 
be going on a vacation
+the scammer is very inconsistent
