Fight Credit Card Fraud!

by Kimstore Customer Care 21 Dec 2022

Kimstore only sells original and authentic items and has been fighting scammers since 2006. Don’t let them ruin your shopping experience!


Stay safe while shopping this holiday season. Here are some things to watch out for and a checklist of our official channels!


Social Engineering and Phishing

Social engineering is how suspicious people target your personal information and other details that can help with assuming a stolen identity. Local examples include budol-budol gang, and the hypnosis crime trend in the 90s and 00s. Scammers use in-person interaction and social tricks to trip up security measures and disclose sensitive information.


Although precautionary measures and security software and protocols can help stop phishing, the best defense against it and social engineering is awareness. 


Fake Accounts

Here's something we’ve all encountered on social media at one point or another. Businesses, private people, anyone can be impersonated on social media and other platforms. Misinformation usually follows shortly. 


Spoofed Text Messages

Ever wonder why you’re getting suspicious text messages but the sender is listed as a company you trust? Scammers have found ways to masquerade as a trusted source instead of unknown numbers.


Hopefully, the SIM Registration Law accomplishes its mission in curbing and possibly eliminating scams through SMS.


Stay Alert!

There are more scams to look out for so keep your eyes and ears peeled! Kimstore.com will NOT initiate calls, SMS, emails, or chats to ask for your account details. If you receive a call, email, or SMS from an unknown and unverified source: Be alert and do not believe everything you are told. Do not give your email address, mobile number, passwords, or Card Verification Value (CVV), the 3-digit code found at the back of your card, and other confidential information.


Online Shopping safety has always been a priority at Kimstore.com. it should always be your priority too! Kimstore staff or representatives will not ask for your password or bank account information. You shoudnt share it with anyone either!
