Republic Digital Consultancy Warns Public of WhatsApp and Telegram Scams
Johannesburg, South Africa – 8 July 2024 – Republic Digital Consultancy is issuing a critical alert to the public regarding a significant increase in WhatsApp and Telegram scams targeting unsuspecting individuals with promises of quick and easy earnings. These fraudulent activities often involve the impersonation of legitimate businesses, including digital agencies, to deceive victims into divulging personal information and transferring funds.
Republic Digital Consultancy has become aware of scammers falsely representing themselves as the company and offering enticing work-from-home opportunities. These scams typically involve completing simple tasks such as liking YouTube videos or writing Google reviews in exchange for substantial daily payments.
It is essential to emphasise that Republic Digital Consultancy exclusively provides services to registered businesses and does not offer cash-based employment. Any claims to the contrary are fraudulent.
To protect the public from falling victim to these scams, Republic Digital Consultancy urges individuals to exercise extreme caution when presented with such offers. Legitimate businesses would never solicit personal or financial information through unsolicited messages on platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram.
To safeguard against these scams, Republic Digital Consultancy advises the public to:
- Remain vigilant: Be wary of unsolicited messages promising easy money, regardless of the platform.
- Verify information: Always cross-reference information with official company channels before sharing personal details or transferring funds.
- Report scams: If you encounter a scam impersonating Republic Digital Consultancy, please report it immediately through our official website or contact details.
Republic Digital Consultancy is committed to protecting the public from fraudulent activities and will continue to take proactive measures to prevent the misuse of its name. We encourage everyone to share this information with friends and family to enhance awareness about these scams.
