Avoid scams that trick you into providing personal information by following these guidelines:

 

1. Download the official Shopee App

  • Get your Shopee App via these official sources to enjoy the latest security updates.

    • Android Play Store

    • iOS App Store

    • Huawei App Gallery

 

2. Keep all transactions within Shopee

  • When you're buying on Shopee, always make sure to keep all transactions within the Shopee app or our official websiteshopee.ph.

  • Be wary of anyone who asks you to make a payment without going through the checkout page.

 

3. Look out for suspicious-looking messages

  • Poor spelling and grammar, links that request personal and sensitive information such as your password or one-time password (OTP) are signs of a scam message.

 

4. Never share personal and sensitive account information

  • Account information such as passwords, OTPs, password reset links, and even a photo of yourself can help fraudsters get access to your account.

  • Do not share any credit/debit card details.

  • As Shopee will never ask you for this information outside of the Shopee App, be wary of those who ask.

 

5. Practice good password habits

  • Change your account password and ShopeePay PIN number regularly.

  • Avoid using the same passwords/PIN numbers across different platforms.

  • Never share your password/PIN with anyone.

 

If you suspect that you've received a scam message, reach out immediately to Shopee Customer Service with a screenshot of the message.
