[Account Safety] How do I avoid scams?

English | Bahasa Malaysia


⚠️ Important Reminder

When reporting a scam, please provide:

  • Your phone number
  • Date and time of the incident

Providing this information helps us process your report more efficiently.


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

3. Look out for suspicious-looking messages

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

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

5. Practise good password habits

  • Change your account password and ShopeePay PIN number regularly
  • Avoid using the same passwords/PIN numbers across different platforms

If you receive a suspicious message or suspect fraud, contact Shopee Customer Service immediately. Learn more here: [Customer Service] How do I contact Shopee Customer Service? (Chat)
