There are a lot of Filipino Facebook groups that scam newbies. I got wary of this issue because one of my friend got scammed because he joined a "pool" but after a lot of promises the one that "pooled" their coins just vanished in an instant.
Please my Filipino friends, beware of FB groups because most of the posts there will just make you lose money.
It is true that there are really a lot of Filipinos who gets involved with scamming. Since there are no proper education, Filipinos usually believes on what they hear rather than searching for it or understanding first the platform. Therefore, some of them are taking advantage. I personally have left all the group that I've joined before because of this.
