Not every scam arrives by email. Fraudsters increasingly use social media platforms and messaging apps to approach businesses, sometimes posing as a lender, a supplier or even a member of staff. These channels can feel informal, which is exactly what makes them risky.
Common approaches
- A profile claiming to be Credicorp offering quick finance or a special deal.
- A direct message asking you to click a link to verify your account or claim funds.
- An account copying our name, logo or branding to look official.
- A message that moves the conversation onto a private app and presses you to act fast.
How to check
- We will never agree your loan terms or ask for sensitive details through a social media message.
- Look for tell-tale signs of a fake profile, such as a recently created account, few genuine posts, or a slightly altered name.
- Do not click links in unsolicited messages. Go to our official website or your portal directly.
If you are contacted
Do not share any account details or make any payment based on a social media or messaging contact. Report and block the account, and let us know through a verified channel so we can request its removal and warn other businesses.
