What is Trustap?
Trustap is a digital payment platform that helps to combat online scams when buying or selling online.
It was founded in 2018, and since then has helped thousands of customers worldwide to avoid online fraud and transact safely.
The number of scammers online are currently increasing and are continuously developing new tactics to trick people.
Now more than ever, it is important to have a platform like Trustap to ensure that customers are not faced with online fraud.
Scammers on the Rise
The number of scamming incidents online is growing rapidly. Last year fraud offences increased by 72% in Ireland alone.
A report released in May of this year showed that nearly 3 in 5 Irish citizens have fallen victim to a scam in recent years. This shocking statistic makes Ireland one of the most targeted populations across the globe for online fraud.
It has been shown that 45% of scams in 2021 occurred through social media. In 70% of these cases people were scammed when they attempted to make a purchase through a posted social media advertisement.
How Scams Often Occur
Facebook Marketplace & Facebook Groups tend to be a hotspot for online scams.
When a customer has gained interest in a product and they contact the seller, a price is usually negotiated and agreed upon rapidly.
The “exclusive” offer that the seller has proposed, entices the victim to close the deal quickly.
Scammers frequently then request payment through nonrefundable services such as Bank Transfer, Revolut, or Vouchers.
How can Trustap Help?
Trustap positions itself between the buyer and seller of the product, ensuring a secure, risk-free transaction.
Trustap safely holds the money until all milestones are complete, and the purchase has been received and inspected by the buyer.
Buyers and sellers can transact online with a whole new level of security by using Trustap's buyer protection and fraud detection capabilities.
Trustap is the safest way to transact online and to avoid scams.
If ever in doubt about a transaction, never send money through Bank Transfer, Revolut, or by paying with a voucher. These payment options do not provide any fraud protection and your money will be unretrievable.
It is important when either buying or selling online, to always request to transact with Trustap.
For any online service or marketplace, Trustap is an instant transactional solution that eliminates the possibility of fraud and scams.
