At Shoootin, the security of our clients is our top priority. We have implemented rigorous procedures to protect your transactions and ensure secure exchanges. However, like any company, we are not immune to fraud attempts by malicious third parties seeking to exploit the trust of professionals.

This is why we want to raise awareness about common fraud tactics and share best practices to help you stay protected.

Fraud attempts can take various forms, including:

🔹 Fake bank details and fraudulent invoices: A fraudster sends an invoice with altered bank details to divert a payment.
🔹 Phishing: A fraudulent email impersonating Shoootin or another service provider attempts to trick you into clicking a malicious link or disclosing sensitive information.
🔹 Vishing (voice phishing): A scammer pretends to be from Shoootin or a business partner over the phone to manipulate your team and obtain confidential data.
🔹 Smishing (SMS phishing): A fraudulent text message prompts you to click on a suspicious link or contact a fake customer service number.

To effectively protect yourself, be aware of the following warning signs:

🚩 Unexpected changes to bank details: Shoootin never changes its bank details without official and secure communication. If in doubt, contact us directly.

🚩 Suspicious email sender: All our emails come exclusively from our official domain (@shoootin.com). Be cautious of emails from free services like Gmail or Outlook, or addresses with slight modifications.

🚩 Urgent or threatening tone: Scammers often create a false sense of urgency to prevent verification and push you to act quickly.

🚩 Spelling mistakes or unusual wording: Fraudulent emails or invoices often contain errors that may indicate fraud.

🚩 Suspicious links or attachments: Do not click on unknown links without verifying the URL, and do not download suspicious attachments.

✅ Always verify the sender of emails: If an email seems suspicious, do not reply directly—contact Shoootin through an official channel instead.

✅ Do not click on suspicious links: Hover over a link to see its actual URL before clicking. If it looks suspicious, do not proceed.

✅ Confirm any changes to banking details: Before making a payment, call Shoootin at an official number to verify the request.

✅ Never share your credentials or sensitive data: Shoootin will never ask you to send passwords, access codes, or banking information via email or phone.

✅ Implement a payment verification process: To prevent fraud, ensure that all payments are approved by multiple people within your organization.

✅ Train your team to recognize fraud risks: Regularly educate employees on fraud tactics and cybersecurity best practices.

2️⃣ Contact Shoootin immediately via our official email or phone number to verify the request.
