It has come to our attention that several fraudulent offers and misleading scams pose as โAbensonโ. These may come in the form of a text message, email, on-ground visits, or fake accounts claiming to be Abenson on social media or e-commerce platforms.
Shopping online is safe if you’re transacting with a legitimate seller. Sadly, online scammers continue to take advantage of unsuspecting shoppers. ๐
To help Abenson customers shop safely online (or even offline), here are the known scams we were able to spot and have been reported.
Fake accounts on e-commerce platforms
Abenson currently doesn’t sell on Lazada and Shopee. We are not affiliated with any accounts on other e-commerce platforms, aside from our own website.
If you spot an enticing deal or promo bearing the Abenson logo and claiming to be from Abenson on e-commerce platforms, please don’t entertain.
