The idea of having to clean your home is not something that gets anyone excited is it? It’s something we are all too familiar with and it’s exhausting! What more if you have to do it once or twice a week depending on how big your household is (or how messy :) ). Just thinking about having to dust, sweep or vacuum, mop and tidy on top of work, and all the other things you have to do for the home, will drive anyone to look for alternative solutions. The most obvious and common would be to get help from professional cleaning vendors. Who hasn’t?
So, how does RM35 for two hours of house cleaning or RM300 for a round of office spring cleaning sound to you? Fair or too good to be true? Who wouldn’t be tempted to find out? No one would fault you for that.
Well, these days, even professional cleaning services are an avenue for scammers. So, beware! It’s when you are checking out the offers or accepting the offers by downloading the app for booking the cleaning service that you could actually be downloading a malware instead. This disguised malware is what will allow scammers to steal your personal or banking details, passwords and even OTPs (one-time passwords) for financial transactions. In these few unsuspecting minutes, you could be financially cleaned out or devastatingly scammed.
Don’t take home or office cleaning services lightly just because you think it’s an easy job to do (and it’s not!), or you see it advertised on social media platforms. Just because it appears on a legitimate site does not mean that it is a legitimate offer. Social media platforms are not obligated to check out the legitimacy of every offer that is posted. For your own safety, here’s what you can look out for when you are checking out the “cheap” offer:
As you are aware, scams can come in various forms. Sometimes, scams can be hiding in plain sight, like when you don’t get what you are paying for from your professional cleaning services. There are certain standards that need to be adhered to and if they’re not, you are not getting your money’s worth. Business owners can find out if they have the right professional cleaning vendor as their partner just by evaluating the following:
So while cleaning services may not always be as “cheap” as everyone would like it to be, it certainly won’t cost you your health and safety when you get the right cleaning company for the job. That’s for real.
