Hi, I would like to report an Internet Scam. I am hoping that you could help me retrieve my investment. They go by the website fancy-ph.com. Their MO is to let you invest online and you will purchase random items and then you will get a commission. At first, it seems legit and you can withdraw your money. However, as the transaction drags on, the amount of purchase gets higher making you unable to cash-in to buy the item. The gcash number they have are 09770887428 and 09753439246. Please help as I am currently unemployed.
