TNVS Driver Scam: Agent Arrested in Taguig City

Taguig City Scam: Transport Network Agent Arrested for Allegedly Defrauding TNVS Drivers Taguig City, Philippines – In a sting operation conducted on June 11, 2025, authorities arrested an individual posing as an agent for a transport network company. The suspect, known only as "Kurt," is accused of defrauding numerous TNVS drivers by charging them ₱15,000 for account activation. This fee was allegedly not part of the legitimate activation process. One victim, Fernan Delos Reyes, recounted his experience, stating, "He demanded ₱15,000, promising account activation. After paying, my account was deactivated again." This highlights the deceptive nature of the scam. Police Lieutenant Nadame Malang, spokesperson for the PNP Highway Patrol Group (HPG), confirmed the arrest, stating, "We are investigating the possibility of a large-scale operation involving multiple accomplices within the transport network company." The HPG is also pursuing charges of large-scale theft to prevent the suspect from being released on bail. The investigation is ongoing, but the arrest of "Kurt" offers a significant step toward protecting TNVS drivers from such fraudulent schemes. The HPG's commitment to uncovering the full extent of the operation is encouraging for the community.
