Get started today and find the right audience for your business.

Nobody sets out to fall for a scam. Most people who do weren’t being careless, they were probably just in a hurry and missed these warning signs. 

Here’s how to protect yourself.

1. Don’t engage fake accounts:

While waiting for support from an official handle, fake accounts could monitor your comments and slide into your DMs. Never engage them at all, block them immediately or report their profile. 

2. Urgency in a message is almost always manufactured.

“You have 2 minutes to verify.” Messages like this are designed to stop you from thinking. A real issue with your account can wait an extra minute to verify every necessary detail.

3. Impatience with vendors can cost you.

Rushing a payment to beat a deadline or snag a deal is exactly when fake vendors thrive. Check reviews, confirm contact details, and never pay outside the marketplace on 9jawap.

4. When something feels off, go to the app.

The 9jawap app is the one place that’s always safe. If you’ve noticed something suspicious report or open a support ticket immediately.
