Beware of scams: a guide for advertisers

Recognizing a scam is the best way to avoid it

Recently, scam attempts targeting advertisers have multiplied.

These deceptions mostly occur via WhatsApp or other channels external to the platform, where malicious actors pose as site operators or collaborators.

If you recognize yourself in one of the situations described below, it is very likely that you are facing a scam attempt.

Scammers use increasingly credible techniques to confuse and put pressure on advertisers, leveraging the fear of losing visibility or facing account blocks.

Read the most common cases carefully and always verify that every communication and payment takes place exclusively through the platform's official channels.

Fake site operators

Some scammers contact advertisers claiming they have received reports about the published ad. To avoid alleged blocks or penalties, they ask for the payment of a sum of money.

Remember: the platform never requests payments to avoid the deletion of an ad or account suspension. Reports and corresponding measures are managed by a team of experts who do not interact with the advertiser.

Fake credit sellers

Some scammers pretend to offer credits at a reduced price upon payment.

Remember: the platform does not sell credits through private contacts (but only through official operators) and does not request money to access special offers!

Discounts and special offers will always and only be available on the site, and payment will always and only take place in maximum security through official channels.

Be wary of discounts not present on the page and never make a payment to a suspected seller who promises access to offers. Our official operators will always have details about your account, such as account ID, email, and ad details: be wary of suspicious requests or subjects who do not know your profile data.

If you have any doubts, you can contact our Help Center to clarify if the person who contacted you is actually an official SimpleEscort operator.

Fake promotional offers

Upgrade services or privileged positioning are promised at discounted prices, but with payment requested outside official channels.

Remember: no operator will contact you and propose that you make a payment outside the platform! Promotional services can only be activated through the payment methods present within the platform.

If you use SimpleEscort to post your ad and suspect you have suffered a scam attempt, you can immediately contact the security service through the platform's official channels. It is important to report in case of:

  • alleged clients asking for advance payments or top-ups before the meeting;

  • requests for money accompanied by threats or pressure;

  • unauthorized use of your photos;

  • unauthorized dissemination of your personal data;

  • people posing as operators or platform assistance to ask for payments or information.

If someone contacts you asking for payments or personal data:

  • Stop the conversation immediately

  • Do not make payments

  • Do not send documents or sensitive information

  • Keep screenshots and evidence (phone number, chat, details)

  • Report the incident immediately through official channels

  • If necessary, consider contacting the competent authorities

These details are essential to allow us to identify those responsible and intervene with the most appropriate measures.

Acting quickly helps limit damage and protect the entire community.
