Hi

I would like to verify my package that was on hold today October 2, 2023 . I was asked to provide an anti terrorism certificate for foreign currency for the money the was apparently found in my package. Also the courier service is asking me to pay 11,000 pesos and if I fail to pay the amount the cyber police will be involved. Can I also verify the courier service - the name LOGISTICS EXPRESS.

Hoping for your fast response.

Thank you.
