Criminals, including cybercriminals, may exploit the reputation of The Kanoo Group to carry out fraudulent or criminal activities. They do so by falsely associating themselves with the name, brand, and reputation of The Kanoo Group, deceiving victims into believing that they are interacting with The Kanoo Group or its personnel. As a result, victims may unknowingly disclose sensitive personal information or even transfer money to these criminals, mistakenly believing that they are dealing with The Kanoo Group.

Scammers can carry out these fraudulent activities using a range of approaches, such as websites, mobile apps, text messages, emails, postal mail, phone calls, social media (including posted videos), and other communication channels. Although criminals continuously adapt their methods, a significant number of these scams revolve around 'phishing.' Phishing is a deceptive tactic, employed by cybercriminals to illicitly acquire your private and sensitive information, like your name, date of birth, address, social security number, official identification numbers, financial details, account information, and usernames/passwords. Their aim is to exploit this information for unauthorized and illegal purposes.
