I would like to request that Globe geolocates and identify the owner of the following SIM numbers who scammed me and makes threat to me.
1. +63-945-413-6749
2. 0908 616 8223
I have reported this matter to the PNP Anti Cybercrime unit, a blotter has been made about it, but PNP informed that they have no capability of geolocating the SIM and identify its owner.

I wish to add that the seller/scammer deceived me by providing false IDs. Attached are the IDs that he provided. I also attached some of the threats that he made to me. Lastly, I wish to clarify that the timetable of our Viber message exchanges were from Dec 7 to Dec 19, 2023.
