Beware of Fake Sduko Promotions

Scammers are targeting Sduko advertisers through WhatsApp, offering bogus deals for “Top Products,” “Upgrades,” or “VIP” services in exchange for off-platform payments. These individuals pose as Sduko representatives, attempting to defraud advertisers by bypassing the official payment system.

Legitimate Sduko operators will always ask for your unique advertiser code as verification during contact, ensuring both parties are genuine. This code is only known to authorized Sduko staff and the advertiser through their personal dashboard. Never disclose this code to anyone who hasn’t requested it.

If you receive a suspicious message promising special promotions or requiring payment outside the platform, it is likely a scam. Instead, immediately report the incident to Sduko. To help us investigate effectively, please provide us with the following:

• The telephone number of the contact
• Screenshots of your conversation
• Any other relevant details

Your vigilance and cooperation are crucial in helping us identify and stop scammers.

Scammers Posing as Sduko Representatives

Beware of scammers posing as Sduko representatives who use WhatsApp to target advertisers. These fraudsters falsely claim your ad has been reported and demand immediate payment to avoid penalties or account blocks. Crucially, Sduko never requests payment to prevent ad deletion or account suspension. Any such request is a scam and should be ignored. 

If you receive a suspicious message, do not engage with the sender. Instead, report it to Sduko and provide as much information as possible to help us identify and stop these criminals. This includes:

• The phone number used to contact you
• Screenshots of the entire conversation with the scammer
• Any other relevant details you believe are important

Your detailed reports are invaluable in our efforts to protect our community. Remember, Sduko will never ask you for payment to keep your ad online; always be alert and report suspicious activity immediately.
