is manila embassy use globe number? help please

[anapbc]

Hi there,

I am sponsoring my husband from Philippines and he received a call today from the embassy and they are doing like a background check because they asked questions about his application and about me. And they told him to pay the processing fee which is 120,000 pesos ASAP at any BDO Branch (but they didn't give the accnt name and number) and he also need to pay CAD$ 490 as soon as he arrives in Vancouver. And then they told him that they will just email all the documents that need to submit on Monday or Tuesday. My questions are :

1. They call him thru globe number because its starts with 0917, do the embassy in Manila use cellphone numbers to contact the applicants?

2. I already pay his processing fee and RPRF when I submitted our application here in Mississuaga. Do we still need to pay the amount they told my husband? Because I think that is too much.

3. And do they accept payment from BDO i thought they are only accepting Managers Cheque or Bank Draft?

4. Do we need to believe this call? Because it is so suspicious specially asking us to pay the processing fee and rprf where as it is already paid?

Or maybe we just have to wait for their email if this is all true.

HELP PLEASE

If you already paid for it, you don't need to pay it again. I hope you have attached the receipts with your application.
I think this may be a scam.

Sounds fishy, did you include the printout/receipt for the stuff you paid for already with your app? If not find that receipt and email it in.
