Hi, I would like to request to check if this parcel arrived in the Philippines. It says it arrived yesterday July 06, 2023 and it says upon scanning they found a foreign sum of money inside the box. And they email me to pay for customs clearance and 50,000 pesos for the certificate to successfully delivered the said parcel. And they threaten me to pay it as soon as, if not I will go to jail.
Here is the details of the parcel;
Parcel reference: GL00045
Courier email: ntgairoceannetherlandsbv953@gmail.com
Hoping for your immediate response to check on this matter. Thank you very much.
