You asked for scamming activity.

Response to Request

Upon checking the List of Accredited Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs), International Freight Forwarders (IFFs) and Domestic Freight Forwarders (DFFs), Dwarka Courier and Cargo Services is not included in the DTI's list.

If the mode of payment is through GCash, Personal Bank Account or Money Remittance, it is a scam. Do not entertain these scams and block the person who is behind this.

For complaints against online scam, it is advisable that you may have this matter directly coordinated with the PNP Anti Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG), for appropriate action.
