She encourages members of the public to report such groups by using her name, identity, and photographs. If anyone comes across these bogus accounts of her seeking money, they should report it right now.
“Please help us report these groups using my name and identity and even my photograph. Let us save our countrymen from scammers (asking money) using my identity, pictures, and name thru these fake accounts,” she said.
Previously, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) cautioned the public about fixers and scammers that prey on people on social media sites. The LTO has published a public service announcement urging people not to provide personal information on social media, especially with scammers and fixers who guarantee licenses without an exam.
In the letter, the LTO expressly states that the @OfficialLTOlicenseassistance website or the LTO License Assistance Center will charge PHP3,500 to PHP6,500. People should not send out private or personal information to such pages or people because it could lead to “identity theft and other illegal conduct,” according to the warning.
