Fraud Alert: Beware of Scammers Using WSIOMS’ Name

We have been made aware that scammers are impersonating WSIOMS Digital Marketing, falsely claiming to offer freelance work and requesting personal banking information. These fraudulent messages are being sent via WhatsApp by someone pretending to be “Enzokuhle or Omphilr, the HR Assistant at WSIOMS.”

⚠️ Please be advised:
✅ WSIOMS does not offer freelance work.
✅ We will never contact anyone via WhatsApp for job opportunities or payment details.
✅ If you receive such messages, do not engage—delete them immediately.

We take this matter seriously and are working to stop these fraudulent activities. If you suspect you have been contacted by a scammer using our name, please delete the message and report it.

Stay vigilant and thank you for your support.

Are you using mobile marketing for your African business as part of an overall digital marketing strategy? If you aren’t, then you certainly should be, because the statistics surrounding mobile usage and mobile Internet usage in the African region are quite astounding.

Here are our top three tips for a winning mobile marketing strategy:

  • Create a seamless user experience. Your mobile site shouldn’t be an exact replica of your website. It needs to be less cluttered, clean, neat and easy to use. Users shouldn’t have to scroll very far to get the information they need and users should be able to click through to social media pages directly.
  • No two audience members are alike, which means everyone deserves a personalised experience of their choosing. Allow users to choose what information they want to see, if/when they are contacted by you, how they want your site to appear on their mobile phone and more. Personalisation is the key.
  • Use visual content when possible. Research shows that visual content such as photos, infographics and videos are much more widely shared than written content. If you can communicate your message using visual content, certainly do so. Track the visual content’s performance and see how it resonates with your audience.
