Scam Advice

Unfortunately, scammers can misuse the kimkim brand, logos, and/or domain, falsely presenting themselves as kimkim employees, affiliates, agents, or representatives. Under these false pretenses, they may try to get money from you.

We want to remind travelers how to recognize and safeguard themselves against online scams.

Kimkim is an online trip-planning platform. Irrespective of the situation or circumstances, we will never ask you for payments in cryptocurrency.

See below for claims scammers may make. Please note, this is a non-exhaustive list:

  • You may be proposed a job offer, task to work on, or to earn commissions/bonus in exchange for an upfront payment or investment
  • Such defrauding offers and claims are usually received via social networking services (SNS) such as WhatsApp and Telegram, text messaging, email, the internet, phone, or other communication channels. In any case, please disregard any written or oral requests that you believe to be fraudulent or suspicious. You may also reach out to us if you are unsure if a request is legitimate

See below for the advice we can provide:

  • Be vigilant. Don't be duped by logos, domains, email addresses, imagery or text that look like kimkim
  • Don't make any cryptocurrency payments to anyone claiming to be kimkim
  • Don't call back unsolicited numbers. Kimkim's contact details are posted on our website.
  • Contact your bank/payment provider to see if they can help with regards to a chargeback or to cancel the transfer as soon as possible. Tell them that there has been fraud and the details of the account that the money has been transferred to
  • Contact your local police/authorities, tell them that you were a victim of fraud, and give them all the documents relating to the scam (such as messages and screenshots)
  • Contact the bank that the money was sent to. This can be determined by the bank account details that are provided by the scammer
  • Never reveal passwords, personal information, or bank details over email, phone, or messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram or instant message. Similarly, be wary of clicking links, and if you believe something to be a scam,don't open any attachments
  • More generally when paying for things online, in many countries using a credit card typically gives consumers greater protection should something go wrong
