The scammer contacts the advertiser via WhatsApp and pretends to be a Skokka sales person.

Typically the fake sales person will start the conversation by telling the advertiser that they have noticed a decline in views of the ads published by the advertiser, then they offer a supposed satisfaction survey, in which, at the end, the advertiser would have to pay a commission to receive a positive rating. Furthermore, the scammer promises to sell credits at a lower price than the prices charged on the website.

Important: This type of approach is an attempt of fraud. Skokka does not require payments in exchange for positive evaluations or reviews.
