Philippine National Police(PNP)

I would like to report an incident about an Instagram account who uses fake photos and accounts to scam people. The name of the account in Instagram is (hs_mobile_shop_). Unfortunately, I fell off-guard with their skits. They pretend to be a legit iPhone direct seller/supplier offering a lowered price since they will tell their victim that they are a direct supplier. They will provide fake photos of their transactions with LBC as proof that they are a legitimate seller. They will then ask for a payment via e-payment ranging from 6k-30k. It is just alarming that they are continuing to operate.
