SOLDA SAFETY NETWORK | STOP DIGITAL FRAUD

Protecting Communities from Online Scams and Financial Exploitation

Online fraud is a growing threat to individuals, families, and communities worldwide. Criminals exploit social media, digital payment systems, and online fundraising campaigns to deceive victims, steal money, and abuse public trust.

SOLDA Safety Network is committed to raising awareness, documenting suspected digital fraud, and encouraging responsible reporting to relevant platforms and competent authorities.

# # # OUR FIVE KEY PRIORITIES

🔎 **1. Online Fraud Investigation**

Identifying and documenting suspected online scams, impersonation, deceptive financial schemes, and fraudulent activities targeting vulnerable individuals.

💰 **2. Financial Exploitation Prevention**

Raising awareness of financial coercion, digital extortion, romance scams, and fraudulent investment opportunities.

❤️ **3. Fundraising Transparency**

Promoting accountability and transparency in online charitable fundraising, including awareness of misleading donation campaigns, impersonation of charities, and misuse of humanitarian causes.

🔐 **4. Digital Evidence Preservation**

Encouraging the responsible preservation of transaction records, communications, payment requests, and other relevant evidence of suspected financial misconduct.

🌍 **5. Cross-Border Reporting and Cooperation**

Supporting responsible referrals and information-sharing with relevant financial institutions, technology platforms, civil society organisations, and competent authorities.

# # # WARNING SIGNS OF ONLINE FRAUD

Be cautious when someone:

- Demands urgent payments or threatens consequences.
- Requests money through unverified personal accounts.
- Claims guaranteed investment returns.
- Uses emotional stories to pressure people into donating.
- Refuses to provide verifiable information about fundraising activities.
- Requests additional cryptocurrency payments to release supposedly frozen funds.

# # # OUR COMMITMENT

Digital trust must be protected. Online platforms should not become safe havens for fraud, exploitation, or financial abuse.

We encourage individuals to verify before donating, protect their personal information, preserve relevant evidence, and report suspected fraud through appropriate channels.

STOP DIGITAL FRAUD. PROTECT VICTIMS. PROMOTE ACCOUNTABILITY.

Strengthening Online Safety in the Somali-Language Digital Community
2 October 2026
SOLDA Safety Network is increasingly concerned by recurring patterns of harmful activity involving certain accounts operating within the Somali-language digital environment on TikTok, Facebook and other social-media platforms.
Social media provides enormous opportunities for communication, education, journalism, business and community engagement. However, SOLDA's monitoring and reports received from members of the public also indicate areas requiring continued attention and responsible intervention.
Online Fraud & Deceptive Fundraising
SOLDA continues to document reports involving suspected fraudulent fundraising, financial exploitation and campaigns in which money is solicited from the public without sufficient transparency regarding its purpose, beneficiaries or ultimate use.
Where credible financial-harm indicators are identified, relevant digital evidence may be preserved and, where appropriate, referred to platform Trust & Safety teams, financial institutions, regulators or competent authorities for independent assessment.
Blackmail, Extortion & Coercion
SOLDA is concerned about accounts reportedly being used to threaten, intimidate or pressure individuals for money, digital gifts or other benefits.
This can include threats to publish private information, photographs, recordings or other sensitive material unless demands are met.
Child Safeguarding & Vulnerable Users
Protecting children and vulnerable individuals remains a priority.
SOLDA pays particular attention to online activity that may expose children or vulnerable users to harassment, exploitation, coercion, humiliation, inappropriate content or the unauthorised disclosure of personal information.
Where credible safeguarding concerns are identified, SOLDA prioritises evidence preservation and responsible referral to appropriate platform safety teams and, where necessary, competent safeguarding or law-enforcement authorities.
Privacy, Doxxing & Personal Information
Publishing another person's telephone number, address, financial information, private communications or other sensitive personal information can expose individuals and families to serious offline and online risks.
SOLDA encourages users to respect privacy and urges individuals who experience serious doxxing or privacy violations to preserve relevant evidence and use appropriate reporting channels.
Threats, Harassment & Abusive Behaviour
Repeated harassment, targeted intimidation and threats can have consequences extending far beyond social media.
SOLDA documents credible reports of serious online threats and harassment while distinguishing allegations from independently verified information.
Working With Online Platforms
SOLDA Safety Network remains committed to constructive cooperation with TikTok, Facebook and other online platforms to help identify emerging risks within the Somali-language digital environment.
Somali-language content can involve dialects, coded expressions, cultural references and contextual meanings that may require specialised human and contextual assessment alongside automated moderation systems.
Through responsible reporting and evidence-based referrals, SOLDA seeks to support platform Trust & Safety teams in identifying serious cases involving fraud, financial exploitation, blackmail, threats, safeguarding concerns and other forms of online harm.
Our Position
These concerns relate to specific behaviours, accounts and networks — not to the Somali community as a whole. Somali communities around the world use social media responsibly every day for communication, entrepreneurship, education, journalism and public engagement.
SOLDA does not determine criminal guilt. Our role is to document credible concerns, preserve relevant evidence, distinguish allegations from verified information and make responsible referrals where appropriate.
Digital platforms should empower communities, protect vulnerable users and enable people to communicate safely.
