I am reporting fancy-ph.com formerly known as joyous-ph and pleasure-ph. They are hiring using Telegram. I supposed to withdraw the amount I earned using the website they gave. Since it's worth 6 digits, the website is asking you to pay the tax first before you can transfer your money to your gcash account. Upon paying the tax, the request of transfer got rejected and is asking for a code. If this is a scam, how can we file a complaint against this?

Dear Ms. Gamad,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated May 04, 2023 02:57:31 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
We understand that you have reported that you are a victim of an online scam and are inquiring how to file a complaint against the scammer.
The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), as the central anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) authority of the Philippines, primarily functions as a financial intelligence unit, money laundering/terrorism financing investigator and prosecutor, as well as an AML/CTF supervisor, in accordance with the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended (AMLA), and its 2018 Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
Section 7(5) of Republic Act No. 9160, otherwise known as the anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended, and Section 10 of Republic Act No. 10168, otherwise known as the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012, authorize the AMLC to investigate money laundering and terrorism financing offenses. The AMLC has no mandate to investigate crimes in general.
In this regard, it is suggested that you file a complaint with the National Bureau of Investigation – Cyber Crime Division (NBI-CCD) or the Philippine National Police – Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP- ACG) to establish the existence of unlawful activities. If warranted, the NBI or PNP will refer the case to the AMLC.
Please be guided accordingly
