Don’t Get Fooled: Stay Safe from Digital Marketing Scams
Digital marketing is one of the most powerful tools for business growth today — but where there’s opportunity, there are also people looking to take unfair advantage. Many scammers pose as marketing professionals or fake agencies, tricking business owners into paying money for services that never happen.
We’ve seen this happen first-hand, and that’s why we want to help you recognize and avoid such scams before it’s too late.
1. Scammers Using an Agency’s Name
This is one of the most common frauds in the industry. Someone pretends to be from a genuine digital marketing agency, claims to offer ad campaigns or lead-generation services, and asks for payment in advance.
A similar case happened to us recently. A man called, saying that one of our “employees” had taken ₹30,000 to run his ads. When we looked into it, we discovered that no such person ever worked with us. The scammer was simply using our agency’s name to gain trust.
Tips to Stay Safe:
- Always confirm the person’s identity by contacting the agency directly.
- Never make payments to personal UPI IDs or bank accounts.
- Use the official website or verified numbers to get in touch.
2. Too-Good-To-Be-True Offers
If someone promises guaranteed rankings, thousands of followers overnight, or huge sales in just a few days — it’s probably a scam. Real marketing results take time, analysis, and effort.
Tips to Stay Safe:
- Ask for a detailed plan and realistic goals.
- Trust agencies that explain strategies clearly, not those that sell “instant success.”
3. Fake Portfolios and Client Testimonials
Some scammers use work done by other agencies and present it as their own. They may also post fake reviews or claim partnerships with big brands to look credible.
Tips to Stay Safe:
- Check their past work carefully and verify with real clients.
- Look for consistency in their website, social pages, and case studies.
4. Fake Websites and Payment Links
Cybercriminals sometimes build duplicate websites that look almost identical to real agencies. They send emails or messages to potential clients asking for payments using those fake links.
Tips to Stay Safe:
- Always double-check URLs before making payments.
- Confirm payment details only with the agency’s official representative.
