Fake Rental Hire Service
Scammers create fake business pages/posts such as car rental businesses on social media, asking people to send money via M-PAiSA to book a rental.
How do I know it’s not a scam?
- Verify the legitimacy of the advertised business.
- Be careful when transferring money to unknown persons' personal mobile numbers.
- Demand to know if the business is registered to receive payments via M-PAiSA. It must show under "Payments" if it is.
- Check for misleading details in the business advertisement, such as location and business name.
- Most fake businesses on social media, such as on Facebook, are created only days before they start scamming people.
- If making payments to a registered business, search the business name in M-PAiSA App under payment to ensure it’s a genuine business.
