Hi!
I would like to verify my package that is on hold this October 23, 2023. I was asked to provide an anti-terrorist certificate  for foreign currency  for the money that was apparently found in my package. Also the courier is asking me to pay 5,000pesos for the delivery and 15,000 pesos for the certificate, if i fail to pay the amount the cyber police will be involved and proceed to law court. Can I also verify the courier services- the name is Global Courier Services Company

Hoping for your fast response.

Thank you!

Your Request

You asked for anti-terrorist certificate.

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. I enclose a copy of the information you requested.

If the mode of payment before receiving a parcel is through GCash, Money Remittence or Personal Bank Account, it is a scam. Threatening to involve officers of the law and such certificate is the most common way to scam citizens.
