Report of Multiple Cell Numbers Impersonating PLDT for Extortion

Requested from PNP by A. Navaja at 04:15 PM on Dec 20, 2023.
Purpose: Prevent future extortion.
Date of Coverage: 10/01/2023 - 12/18/2023

Navaja 04:15 PM, Dec 20, 2023 

Dear FOI Officers,

I am writing to formally report a concerning incident involving multiple cell numbers that have been impersonating representatives from PLDT claiming they are from Sy and Jae Corporation. These individuals are attempting to extort money from me on a no longer used PLDT account. 

- 0950 189 1730
- 0920 311 2794
- 0950 189 1774
- 0963 388 4903
- 0963 370 1087
- 0963 457 3070
- 0963 072 8121
- 0950 189 1951
- 0963 398 8660

I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue.

Navaja 04:23 PM, Dec 20, 2023 

Despite multiple attempts to contact these numbers, there has been no response. Furthermore, the demands for payment are associated with a non-existent account, and upon verification with PLDT, it has been confirmed that there is no record of such an account in their system.

In an effort to ensure the appropriate authorities are aware of this situation, I sought information on Sy and Jae Corporation. However, I am uncertain if this is the same corporation mentioned in an ABS-CBN article from October 9, 2014, which reported on BIR suing several businesses over tax violations. The article can be found at the following link: https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/10/09/14/bir-sues-7-businesses-over-tax-violations

In the interest of justice and to prevent further victimization of individuals in the future, I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter. Your efforts in resolving this issue are highly appreciated. Please keep me informed of any developments in the investigation.

Thank you for your assistance in addressing this serious concern.
