#ShopeeScam Ruins Blackpink Meet And Greet

Wazzup Pilipinas!

#ShopeeScam became the #1 trending topic on Twitter after a number of Filipino Blinks claimed that the online shopping site scammed them into a chance of meeting BLACKPINK during their visit to PH by becoming one of the site’s “top spenders.

Online retailer Shopee apologizes to its users for issues that involved a meetu-and-greet with Korean girl group

ShopeePH is so dumb for giving tickets to the so called influencers/celebrities for marketing purposes when blinks could easily trend anything WW at #1 to give them clout, follow and hype them. But instead they decided to scam filo blinks. Their BIGGEST mistake!

Sue Ramirez, Kristel Fulgar, Sharlene San Pedro, Anne Curtis are the only celebrities who deserve to be invited at the event. The rest like Awra Briguela, AC Bonifacio, etc., are just insensitive freeloaders.

Lazada, Zalora, BeautyMNL and OLX are probably all partying after hearing Shopee's going to hell due to that Blackpink fiasco.

Blink or not Blink, ANY fan doesn't deserve to be taken advantage by insensitive capitalists. No matter what the name is written on your "jersey", we all deserve better. I hope and pray they'd be given justice.

Jennie had a panic attack and y’all fuckers still calling her lazy just because she has motion sickness that she uses medications for (proven) y’all have me SICK. fuck shopee!

ABS-CBN Bandila reporting this last night on national TV, posting the full report on all of their social media accounts, tagging BP’s twitter account and using the hashtag #SHOPEESCAM is one of the best thing they’ve done!

I have always known that blinks are powerful once they were united but I never expect them to be this powerful. Like damn they could drag a whole country down if they wanted to and I am not even exaggerating.

Blinks literally spent hundreds of thousands just to win and see BlackPink but Shopee did them dirty lol You think they will spend that much if they are not really a fan?
I'm not a Blink, but man no one ever deserves how Shopee treated them. They failed on every front of the event & have the gall to push the fans away after all the trouble. My heart goes out to all the Blinks. Hope this gets resolved soon and they get to meet Blackpink on better terms. To all BLINKS who are really affected by the issue, please file a legal case, regardless of the apology. That 1K voucher offer to remedy is laughable.

PH companies should never underestimate KPOP fans. Messing with these fans can bring down a company.  

In Ddudu-ddudu medley... Shopee ay magnanakaw, ah yeah ah yeah! Scammer! Ah yeah ah yeah!
