How to spot a fake alert

Every trader in Abuja has a story. A customer shows a transfer screenshot, walks away with the goods, and the money never arrives. Screenshots and text messages can be faked in a minute on any phone.

A real Swiftpurse payment appears in your app with a sound and a voice announcement. If you did not hear it and cannot see it in your list, it has not happened, whatever the customer shows you.

Fake alert customers are always in a hurry. They push you to release goods before you check. A real customer will wait ten seconds.

For anything over ₦50,000, ask the customer to scan your QR or tap on POS. The money is confirmed on your side before they leave.

Report it in the app with the time and amount. We share fake alert patterns with the market association every week.
