We would like to inform members of the public of a new variant fraud involving a certain party has begun fraudulently using EasyStore’s name and business reputation as the basis for their attempts at fraud.
In their attempt to fraud, there are few variants with their approach, where victim would be approached on social media or attracted to ads promoting part-time job to earn money quickly using EasyStore’s name, logo and images without our consent, branding themselves as our marketing partner to help SME to boost their sales and rating.
Generally, scammers will instruct victims to purchase products and offer a return with 10 -13% commission, and the amount of goods will be refunded to the victims within few minutes after the KPIs were met.
By falling to the trap, victim would need to sign up to the said program and participate in the “part time job”. They will either add you onto a WhatsApp group or a signup to a link (e.g. www.easystoresglobals.com)
