⚠️ SCAM WARNING – PLEASE READ ⚠️
Hi everyone,
We want to alert you that there are groups out there impersonating our business on Facebook and Instagram. They are copying our posts, our logo, and our entire look to make their fake pages look convincing. They are NOT us. Please be extremely cautious before making any transactions or sharing personal information.
We are actively working with the police and FaceBook, and they have been great in helping us narrow in on these groups. In the meantime, please stay alert—not just now, but in the future as well.
How to make sure you’re dealing with us:
✅ Our official pages: Always check you’re following our Meta verified and official accounts. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sydneyretilez, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sydneyreptilez - Please look for the blue tick. Our website: www.sydneyreptiles.com
✅ Post timestamps: Scammers copy our content, but their page is much newer and lacks history.
✅ Payment methods: We only accept payments through our website, www.sydneyreptiles.com - direct deposit details as listed on the website or card payments in store. If someone asks for bank transfers, gift cards, or PayPal friends & family, that dont match our business name, it’s NOT us.
✅ Communication style: We are always professional and friendly. If someone is pressuring you, offering unrealistic deals, or refusing to talk on the phone, be suspicious.
✅ Direct Contact: If you’re unsure, message us directly through our website or call Ian on 0430902012.
If you come across a fake page, please report it immediately and let us know. Your support helps us take action faster.
Thank you for being part of our reptile-loving community, and please stay safe!
