If you post ads on Etaira, someone may try to contact you outside the platform using channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or other messaging services. In some cases, these contacts may present themselves as official support or platform collaborators, but they are not.
This type of behaviour often aims to confuse the user and obtain personal information, money, or access to sensitive data.
For your safety, always remember that all communications, operations, and any payments must take place exclusively within Etaira.
Situations to consider risky
Pay particular attention if you receive messages that include:
- requests for advance payments from supposed customers
- pressure or threats to obtain money
- people claiming to be platform staff without verifiable proof
- attempts to move the conversation outside Etaira
- requests for personal documents, banking details, or private information
- unauthorised use of personal photos or content
How to react correctly
If something seems suspicious, it is important to act immediately:
- stop all communication immediately
- do not send money under any circumstances
- do not share documents or sensitive data
- keep evidence such as chats, phone numbers, and screenshots
- use the platform's reporting tools
- if the situation is serious, contact the relevant authorities
Fake representatives and fraud attempts
A very common method used by scammers is to pretend to be platform operators. They may claim that your ad has been flagged or is at risk of being restricted, then offer a payment to "resolve" the situation.
It is important to know that Etaira never requests private payments to avoid checks, removals, or actions against accounts. All decisions are handled internally and without individual arrangements.
Unofficial offers and deceptive promotions
Another risk involves private messages offering promotional packages, greater visibility, or credits at a reduced price.
These offers are not part of the official services and are not authorised by Etaira. All purchases and available options are accessible only through the platform.
Any external proposal of this kind must be considered suspicious.
Always protect your personal data
As an advertiser, it is essential to protect your information by avoiding:
- sharing sensitive data with strangers
- leaving the platform's official channels
- accepting unverified financial requests
- providing documents or private information to third parties
The importance of reporting
Reporting suspicious behaviour helps protect not only your account, but also the entire Etaira community. Every report allows fraudulent activity to be identified and blocked more quickly.
To keep your privacy safe as an advertiser:
- communicate only through Etaira
- be wary of external or unofficial requests
- never share sensitive data
- report any suspicious behaviour immediately
Your vigilance is one of the most effective tools for preventing abuse and protecting your online security.
