PNP Highway Patrol Group Issues Warning on Fake Volunteers
The Philippine National Police–Highway Patrol Group (PNP Highway Patrol Group) has alerted the public about individuals and organizations falsely claiming to be police volunteers. These imposters have been soliciting payments for identification cards, uniforms, and memberships, sources reported.
In a recent statement, officials reported that some groups are charging ₱350 for fake ID cards and ₱750 for uniforms while pretending to be affiliated with the PNP Highway Patrol Group. “These activities are illegal, fraudulent, and not sanctioned by the PNP–HPG in any capacity,” community members noted.
Unauthorized Use of PNP Highway Patrol Group Name and Logo
The agency clarified that it has not authorized any private group to collect fees unless formally approved and announced through verified communication channels. Local leaders emphasized the importance of vigilance to avoid falling victim to such scams.
Several groups have been identified as misusing the PNP Highway Patrol Group name, logo, and insignia without authorization. These include multiple “HPG FMI” chapters in provinces such as Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, and Nueva Vizcaya, as well as online entities like “BETSKIE/motovlog” and “FMI HPG Group of Volunteers,” officials reported.
Legal Actions Against Fraudulent Groups Underway
Records indicate that Highway Patrol Group 4A Force Multipliers, Inc., registered in 2010 in Calamba, Laguna, is among the named organizations. However, the PNP Highway Patrol Group stated there is no record of secondary licenses or national authority granting these groups permission to operate in other regions.
Authorities confirmed that legal proceedings are ongoing, and criminal charges will be filed against those involved in the fraudulent schemes. “We remain committed to safeguarding the integrity of our organization and protecting the public from fraud,” officials said.
Community Cooperation Essential to Stop Scams
The PNP Highway Patrol Group urged the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to help stop these illegal operations. “Let us work together to stop these schemes and protect our communities,” local leaders encouraged.
