Have you been in a situation where you wish to report a fraudulent Palmpay account and you’re not sure what to do? Well, while this might seem like a straightforward thing to do, it might become confusing quickly. 

In this article, I’d be showing you how you can report a Palmpay account via calls or online and ensure that your transactions continue to proceed safely or in an attempt to salvage a fraudulent transaction.

How to Report a Palmpay account on the Palmpay App

As early as 2022, Palmpay had added a ‘Report a Scam’ feature to their app. I’d be showing you where you can find it and how it works exactly. 

Follow the steps below to report a fraudulent transaction or account on Palmpay

  1. On the bottom navigation menu on your app, click on “Me” to visit your profile.
  2. Scroll down a little, you’d see “Report Scam”. Click on it.
  3. So the next step is to fill in all the information on this page. I’d be telling you more about that
  4. Enter the type of scam in the “Report Scam Types”
  5. The types of scam on the Palmpay app are
  1. Unauthorized Transaction: This is when someone removes money from your account without your permission or authorization and you’re trying to recover it. 
  2. Business gone bad: This is when you were duped during a transaction or you made a purchase and  your business partner has absconded with the funds without fulfilling their part of the bargain. 
  3. Online Payment and Transaction Fraud: Per adventure you pay for something online, maybe on Instagram or Jiji only to discover that you’ve been transacting with a fake page. This is the option you should select. 
  4. Impersonation / Identity theft: This is when someone contacts you claiming to be a Palmpay agent asking you for personal information like your OTP. Report the person using this option
  5. Financial and Investment Fraud: Let’s say you were a victim of an investment scheme and you just found out you’ve been defrauded. If you’ve been using your Palmpay account to transact with the investment fraudsters, then report it using this channel
  6. Flexi applied without consent: If someone uses your phone to apply for a loan on the palmpay app, use this option to report them
  7. Other: this option is for a situation where the fraud doesn’t fall into any of the categories above.
