How These Scams Work: Fake Job Offers (Task Scams)
Scammers pretend to be from Shopee Mall or Shopee’s HR team, offering part-time or full-time jobs that seem too good to be true. They start with simple tasks to gain trust, then ask victims to transfer money, falsely promising high earnings in return.
Fake Prize Notifications (Prize Scams)
Fraudsters send messages claiming you’ve won a prize from Shopee. These messages contain malicious links that steal your personal details—like your name, address, and banking information—when clicked. This can lead to identity theft or financial fraud.
How to Stay Safe
Shopee is committed to keeping users protected. Here are key safety tips:
- Shopee never asks for money for job applications. Legitimate job opportunities are only posted on Shopee’s official Careers page.
- Shopee does not send prize claim links via SMS or messaging apps. Winners are announced only within the Shopee app or on its official channels.
- Never share personal details with strangers. This includes your name, address, contact number, bank details, PIN, OTP, and passwords.
- Always complete transactions within the Shopee app. This ensures secure payments, order tracking, and buyer protection.
If you receive suspicious messages or encounter fraud, report them immediately. Send screenshots and details to the Shopee Cares Facebook Page or Shopee’s Customer Service via the Shopee app.
