MocaMoca Scam

Requested from SEC by E. Hipolito at 01:51 PM on Jul 04, 2023.
Purpose: Removal of Information and Refund of Lost Downpayment
Date of Coverage: 07/04/2023 - 07/04/2023
Tracking no: #SEC-825829646268

Hipolito 01:51 PM, Jul 04, 2023

I would like to report a online lending app called MocaMoca. The collection agency of this app kept harassing my aunt into finding out my personal information including my contacts.

The downpayments that I've paid through GCash on PAYSO (from Pay Bills) amounting to 1,230 in June 05, 2023, and then 980 in June 09, 2023, to pay off my 3,030, which the remaining amount that I'm supposed to pay on my next downpayment will be 820; but they scammed me and resetted the amount to 2,890. I would like to remove my personal information I provided to MocaMoca and get a refund for my downpayment.
