Warning regarding Vendo.phWe would like to warn the Ateneo community against participating in selling activities via the

websitewww.vendo.ph or via the Vendo page on Facebook.

Please be informed that Vendo is not an Ateneo-sanctioned or Ateneo-based business. The website claims to offer a service exclusively for Ateneans and uses the names "Ateneo" and "Atenean" without

the permission of the Ateneo de Manila University.

Students who would like to register with the site are required to submit contact details and given the assurance that their information will remain confidential. When reached for clarification, the business owners

declined to divulge their identities for the purpose of "protecting" their team. Although the premise of their website may seem attractive to students who would like to earn extra cash, the community is warned that

those who transact with Vendo may be putting themselves at risk. Additionally, if there is anyone whose safety has been compromised as a result of transacting through Vendo, we request that they

immediately contact the Loyola Schools Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs at the G/F, Xavier Hall, or 4266001 loc. 5020.
