a note beside with your written name on the note.
2. If the seller is payment first through money remittance before shipping the item,
Make sure the Receiving Name is the same Name of the person whom you have contacted with.

pictures they will send. Some examples are pictures with past customers or pictures with LBC/DHL
deliveries.

so much in need of your money. Parang atat na atat sila makuha ang iyong pera bago ka nila
i-block. Yung iba susungitan ka nila as if ikaw pa may kasalanan.
