Mactan-Cebu International Airport Scam (photo: philippineairspace.blogspot.com)
The scam goes something like this. Those who complained were victims of the scam in which they were forced to pay a certain amount of money (ranges from PhP9,000 to 25,000) in order for their package/parcel in the airport to be released. This payment was said to be the administrative charges and airport charges according to the scammers. The scammers suggested to the victims to pay the charges through sending the money in Western Union. The packages/parcel would not be released unless the payment was sent. But even if some of the victims already paid, the package would still not be released in the airport.
The scammer(s) allegedly introduced themselves as Officer-in-Charge of the Bureau of Customs in the airport. They tried to contact the victim through a cellphone or email.
The victims posted the names used by the scammers which follows:
Angela K. Alfonso
Rebecca Alfonso
Roque Gonsaga
Rose Santos - with a cellphone number: 09155408944
Beware of this kind of scam! Ignore and don't believe these scammers. If you've been scammed, go to a nearest Cebu Police Station and report the incident. You can also contact the Bureau of Customs of Cebu at phone number: (032) 232 0160 ; email address: boc_cebu@yahoo.com to verify if the alleged Officer-in-Charge of Bureau of Customs who texted you is real.

Nangyare din samin yan under the scammer's name WILLIAMS JONES. bigla nlng ng frnd request at nanligaw sa fb ng ate ko. Taga Aabama daw at marine engineer by profession. One day bigla nlang nagsabi na nagpadala daw xa ng package via http://dacexpresscargo.info (DAC EXPRESS). Kadadating lng ng pakage kahapon (08/17/18) the package contains 1 brown envelop,Louis Vuitton ladies bag2,2Perfume,2Necklace,Rose flower,clothes,shoes,apple laptop,iphone7 plus,ring and credit card (ATM). Sabi ni William my pera daw kasama un. nung una palang duda na ako sabi ko sinong tanga ang magpapadala ng pera via cargo?
Arrived At Sort Facility in International Airport Authority Philippiness *note galing yan sa web ng dac at mali ang spelling ng Philippines. Marami na rin yatang complain jan sa Sort Facility International Airport na yan.
And then someone txted us that the package is already here in our country. Unprofessional txt actually kung ibabase mo sa isang customer support ng isang airport, wrong grammar pa. Tapos tinawagan namin at ang sabi my problema daw sa pagclaim ng package dahil "nadetect daw ng machine na my pera sa loob" at kelangan nming magbayad ng $500 at clearance certification galing sa sender at pinappunta pa kmi ng cebu para maclaim ang package.
Naka ilang tanong kami kung sino kausap nmin sa phone pero nka 4-5 tanong kami pero she did not say her name. tapos sabi nya my naviolate daw Batas regarding sa package shipment. sabi nmin makikisend ng link ng article kung saan nmin mababasa ung law na un para mas lalo nmin maunawaan ang situation pero wala din silang maisend. So sabi ko sa ate ko "scam yan let me check for other complains na katulad ng situation natin" and we are glad to found this site na prove namin na scam talaga.
Probably kung nagpauto kmi jan hindi lang $500 ang hihingin nyang mga yan.
So guys beware to the ff" >Williams Jones >DACEPRESSCARGO >Sort Facility in International Airport Authority Philippines (kung meron man talaga silang office sa Cebu)
At kung may kakilala kayo na tumutulong para mahuli yang mga yan sa cebu pahelp narin kayo kung sakali mang navictim kau ng gantong scam. Nakakawalang tiwala ang mga pilipino na yan, magkakalahi na nga eh. Just Saying!
beware of this forwarding site: "aircitycargo.info".. this isn't real. This is clearly a SCAM! Beware of a person namen BRIAN MYERS as well, he introduced himself as a US Navy assigned in SYRIA! FB profile is not real. They'll ask you for money and leech on you until you bleed no more. Be very careful!
Hi, Please be aware that of a guy named CAMPBELL RICHARD, skype is campbell.richard3, email is campbellrichard61@gmail.com. I was clever enough to discover that he was trying to scam me. Using Unified Logistics Services. I had doubts and it raised when a girl from Unified Logistics Services called me that I should pay for the package named Jilian Fernandez, Then when I asked her if the company was legal, the sound of her voice was unsure and shaking. Then I saw this page to confirm it. So, ta daaaa! I discovered that I was supposed to be scam. It's funny because I don't have any plans in sending money I even told them to send the package back to the sender. Hahaha! So again be careful.
I was a victim of a scammer personality. The sender was johnmaxwell bush he told that he was a US Navy. And the cargo company was Unified Logistics services, which was the clearance officer was ms. Jillian Fernandez. The first amount they asked me to send was amounting to 14700 for custom clearance. The second was amounting to 35000 for the undeclared money sent by the sender and the receiver was Ma. Francia De Ocampo. And after it they ask another money amounting to 45800. How dare you guys, God my bless you and your family a good things. Please don't trust the names stated so that they will not abuse our kindness. Thank you
also this MA FRANCIA A. DE OCAMPO and JILLIAN FERNANDEZ

Just recently experienced this damn scam. Morgan Miller Essers is the sender of the said package. After a few days, Mary Grace C. Besmonte, emailed that the package was hold by the customs because they're asking for a Php 10,000.00 as settlement before they would released the package to this http://fasttrackcargo.ueuo.com courier. Gladly, we searched through the internet first and discovered that everything was a scam and were not able to pay the said amount. Be careful everyone on this kind of modus.
I was a victim of scam.but I thank God that I cannot give more according to the demand of scammers. I do not think about the money I give to the scammers because seasons of forgiven. But I hope no more people victim again. My advice to everyone. Do not trust to anyone at once.but I know we have soft heart that's why we trust.:))
