So, drawing from my tech background, me offer a common tech advice: ALWAYS check the Page Transparency of each resort's page. Fake pages usually are either it's newly created like just this year or has undergone multiple name changes.
As a community, r/Davao is calling everyone to help report the pages above to keep everyone else safe.
You can also comment below for more online safety tips and share links of fake pages.
Salamat r/Davao.
Padayon.

I reported the fake pearl farm page months ago… pero walay gihimo si Facebook
Costa Azalea's offer(the scam one) is very enticing and can be convincing for those who aren't careful. idk if same ning fb pages gihatag ni mod, but the one we visited was verified and had a lot of followers. so be extra vigilant jud mo. When we inquired, they said accommodations came with free lunch or breakfast daw. we asked for their company number to iron out the details but they refused. bayad lang daw dretso and dalian daw namo ky 1st come 1st serve basis daw. I searched online and found a number, manila number to sya and the official one(landco). we asked about the offers made to us and without hesitation(the agent even cut us off right away) SCAM PO YAN, please do not engage with them.
