Hi, how can we help?

English | Bahasa Malaysia

Part-time job scams are scams where perpetrators pose as Shopee staff or Shopee-affiliated parties. They use SMSes, WhatsApp messages, or social media to promote part-time jobs or commission-based roles.

What’s the modus operandi of part-time job scams?

Victims are encouraged to make purchases at certain shops with promises that the amount will be refunded with the commission. Initially, they may be refunded as a way for the scammer to gain the victims’ trust.

Scammers would also pretend to be real users, and show forged proof of refund and commission payment to deceive victims further.

However, in the end, victims won’t be refunded when they purchase more expensive items, leading to a financial loss.

How do I spot part-time job scams?

You should always be wary of the following to avoid falling victim to part-time job scams:

1. Shopee job invitations via non-official channels

Shopee will only share information or contact our users via:

1. Shopee app
2. Verified messaging or social media accounts (look out for the ✅)
3. Email addresses that end with shopee.com
4. Official jobs from Shopee are posted at careers.shopee.my

2. Usage of suspicious job platforms and/or URLs

Jobs offered by Shopee and any related work are only processed via our official platforms and staff emails. If you encounter any suspicious job platforms and/or URLs, it’s likely a scam. You can contact us via channels at the bottom of the page for further confirmation.
