The Safety and Security of customers are our top priority at Shopee. We have noticed a significant number of fraudulent transactions happening when buyers are redirected outside the Shopee platform. 

 

Therefore, please avoid transacting outside Shopee to prevent you from being scammed and be protected from fraud transactions.

 

Shopee does not guarantee the validity of transactions made outside the Shopee App or website. If you encounter any outside transaction, please report it immediately.
