META Partners With PTA To Raise Awareness About E-Commerce Scams

For the purpose of educating people about e-commerce scams and disseminating advice on how to stay safe online, Meta has teamed up with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP).

Other Pakistani content producers working with Meta to notify their Facebook and Instagram followers include Romaisa Khan and Bilal Munir.

Beth Ann Lim, Meta’s Policy Programs Director for the Asia Pacific region, said: “At Meta, we are committed to connecting people, including making it easier for sellers and buyers to find each other online. However, some people take advantage of others by running scams online.

“We are happy to collaborate with PTA and TDAP, as well as local content producers, to promote responsible internet usage and help all Pakistani internet users connect with their favourite companies safely.” The creators will share advice in Urdu on their social media platforms starting on Safer Internet Day on February 7 and continuing through the month of March to warn both buyers and sellers about online scams.

People should be wary of deals that seem too good to be true, according to Romaisa Khan, who is well known for her entertaining videos.

Bilal Munir from Video Wali Sarkar spoke about how online vendors can win over customers’ trust while defending themselves against phishing and hacking scams.

PTA’s Director General of the Web Analysis Cell, Kamran Gandapur, stated, “E-commerce scams are still a problem for both consumers and businesses. We are happy to work with Meta to educate Pakistanis about scams so they can navigate the online marketplace for buying and selling and develop their online communities with greater confidence.”

PTA and TDAP will collaborate in March to share information on account security and spotting scams with a wider audience in an effort to raise awareness among online users.
