Prevent and Combat Fraud
At International Development Exchange, we are dedicated to leveraging all available resources to combat fraud and protect our customers from criminal activities. We invest in cutting-edge technology and provide comprehensive staff training to detect and prevent fraudulent behavior. Additionally, we run public awareness campaigns to educate individuals on how to protect themselves from various scams.
How Fraudsters Operate
Fraudsters often send fake messages claiming that the recipient has won a large cash prize. These messages are sent through:
– Phone calls
– SMS
– Social media
They request personal and bank account details, claiming these are needed to release the prize money. Once obtained, they use this information to access the victim’s accounts and steal funds. Scammers often instruct victims to keep the prize details confidential or demand upfront payments to claim the prize.
Protect Yourself
At International Development Exchange, we will never ask promotion winners to disclose personal data, identification numbers, or bank account details over the phone, nor will we request payment of fees to receive prizes. Winners are contacted only from our official phone numbers. To verify, visit the nearest International Development Exchange branch or call our customer service at 04-2693105. You can also check our website, www.Ideexchange.com, or our official social media channels for prize announcements.
