Scammer in Instagram (Iphone Seller)

Requested from NBI by M. Francisco at 08:19 AM on Apr 27, 2023.
Purpose: Investigate, make people aware, return all the money that has been scammed and jail the suspects
Date of Coverage: 04/26/2023 - 04/26/2023
Tracking no: #NBI-626693028644

Francisco 08:19 AM, Apr 27, 2023 

I would like to report an incident about an Instagram account who uses fake photos and accounts to scam people. The name of the account in the Instagram is (hs_mobile_shop_).  Unfortunately, I fell off-guard with their skits. They pretend to be a legit iPhone direct seller/supplier offering a lowered price since they will tell their victim that they are a direct supplier.  They will provide fake photos of their previous transaction with LBC as proof that they are a legitimate seller.  They will then ask for a payment via e-payment. It is just alarming that they are continuing to operate.
