Online fraud is a growing concern, and we want to alert you about fake Syncee websites attempting to imitate our platform. This fraudulent websites are misleading people by unlawfully using our branding, logo, and design, creating the illusion that it’s a legitimate Syncee platform. Furthermore, scammers try to contact you via WhatsApp or SMS while Syncee never uses these channels to communicate.
We’ve recently received multiple reports of scammers setting up fake Syncee websites. These copycat platforms are designed to look similar to Syncee at first glance, but they are completely unaffiliated with us and pose a serious risk to your personal and financial security.
Scammers are always evolving their tactics to trick people online, and fake Syncee websites are one of the latest fraudulent strategies. They attempt to impersonate our platform and trick users into sharing sensitive data, logging in, or even providing financial details. These websites might use slightly altered URLs or suspicious redirects, and while they may imitate our style, they lack the full functionality and trustworthiness of the official Syncee platform. Fake Syncee websites are usually in contact with innocent people via WhatsApp and SMS, which are platforms Syncee does not use to communicate or process payments.
What Are Fake Syncee Websites?
A few examples to fraudulent sites are syncee-agent.site and scommerce-platform.shop and synceeshop.co and sweb-agent.shop impersonating Syncee. These websites falsely present themself as our platform to trick unsuspecting users into entering personal or financial information. Please be aware that these sites are NOT affiliated with us and are scam.
Fake Syncee websites might appear very convincing at first glance, especially since they mirrors our branding and layout, but we urge you not to be convinced. The website’s creators are actively trying to deceive anyone who interacts with it. It’s vital to recognize that those are fraudulent imitations, and they are not associated with our official Syncee platform in any way.
How to Identify Fake Syncee Websites and Scams?
To protect yourself from fraud, it’s important to recognize the key differences between the legitimate Syncee website and a fake Syncee site. Here’s how you can identify a fake and the official Syncee platform:
1. Official URL Only:
Our official website can be accessed on https://syncee.com/, https://syncee.co, https://syncee.io. Always make sure you’re on this domain when accessing Syncee services. A fake Syncee website will have a completely different URL that may look similar, but it is not our real platform.
2. Design Differences:
Even though the fake Syncee website might appear similar at first, there are design inconsistencies. The fonts, layout, menu structure, and overall design elements will not match the official Syncee website. Our site has specific elements, such as menu bars, links, and functionality, which a fake Syncee agent site lacks.
3. Communication Inconsistencies:
Our official emails will always come from addresses ending in @syncee.com, @syncee.co, or @syncee.io. Be wary of emails coming from suspicious or unofficial email addresses, especially those related to a fake Syncee website. If you ever receive an email from a suspicious source, do not engage with it. Furthermore, Syncee never contacts you via WhatsApp or SMS.
4. No Additional Pages or Functionalities:
If you notice that certain pages or links are missing from the website, that’s a strong indicator it’s not the official platform and is a fake Syncee website. Our site is fully functional with dedicated pages that can help you get started, manage your products, and connect with suppliers. Fake Syncee websites will often be incomplete.
5. WhatsApp or SMS Contact:
Scammers contact you via WhatsApp or SMS, try to communicate with you, guide you through their fake processes, and also ask you to pay through these platforms. Syncee never contacts you via these channels! Syncee has only in-app chat and email contact.
6. Suspicious Pricing:
Scammers might contact people on WhatsApp, for example, claiming users need to pay $500–$600 to receive a $3,000 payout. These messages are fraudulent. Syncee’s official pricing is accessible on https://syncee.com/pricing.
7. Requesting Payouts Through Unofficial Channels:
We only accept subscriptions through our official website (accessible on https://syncee.com/, https://syncee.co, https://syncee.io) and within our Shopify app. We never ask you to pay through WhatsApp or similar.
8. Unusual Requests:
Syncee will never ask for sensitive information such as your password or credit card details in unsolicited messages. If you receive a request for this type of information, it’s likely part of a scam. Always verify the authenticity of such requests before responding.
What to Do If You Interacted with a Scammer?
If you have ever interacted with a fake Syncee website or entered any personal information, take the following precautions immediately.
The more you pay attention to detail, the easier it is to distinguish real from fake. Don’t be fooled by visual similarities alone. Always check the URL, inspect the layout, and confirm communication is coming from official Syncee channels.
