Playbook sections
Scammers copy the wording of protected payments, then send a fake page claiming funds are waiting. The victim is pushed to pay a release fee, disclose card details, or hand over goods.
The page borrows logos, receipts, and countdowns from real platforms but is not connected to the official payment rail.
Open the bank or marketplace app directly, verify the payment status there, save the chat and link, then report the incident through official support and E-Fraud Watch.
Do not enter OTPs, card PINs, passwords, or full card details into a link sent by a buyer, seller, or courier.
