10. Security: protecting yourself from scams
People may impersonate me using my name, my photo, or my wording. Here is how to check that you are really dealing with Akuété SEWA-DOVI.
- Official channels: website akuetesd.com · email my email address · phone and WhatsApp my phone number · booking my Calendly page · LinkedIn my LinkedIn profile.
- Any other number, email address, or page claiming to be Akuété SEWA-DOVI or ASD is not me.
- Mixx by Yas payment: only on my phone number, to an account in the name of Akuété SEWA-DOVI — check that name before confirming.
- Orabank transfer: bank details are only ever sent with a written quote coming from my email address.
- Secret codes: I will never ask for your Mixx PIN, a code received by SMS, or your card details.
- I am not an exam center: I prepare candidates for the IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC and I can guide you through the registration process, but I never register anyone on their behalf and I never collect exam fees — I sell no seats, dates, or results. Any such offer made in my name is a fraud.
- No surprise fees: no processing, activation, or unlocking fees. The price stated in the quote is the final price.
- If in doubt: call my phone number or email my email address before making any payment. Report any scam attempt to me.
