DesignSEO warns of fraudulent use of its name in cyber scams that impersonate Agencia Cero to request personal information, payments, or access through unofficial channels. The agency never requests sensitive information through WhatsApp or Telegram or promotes quick profits. This guide explains how these scams operate, what to check in seconds, and where to verify any contact through official channels. If you need to validate a message you received, the direct route is contact, and you can compare the working method at Agencia Cero. To organize your criteria before any collaboration, refer to the hub what your business needs before selling more.
What we detected and why we are issuing this alert
The alert follows confirmed reports of third parties using the names Agencia Cero and DesignSEO Group LLC to make contact through messaging services with fake offers and requests for information. It is impersonation using an identity and a financial promise to gain trust quickly.
Signals we received from the community and customers
Unsolicited messages citing the agency’s name, links to external forms on domains other than agenciacero.com, requests for transfers or access codes, and pressure to respond within hours before a benefit expires. None of these behaviors reflects how we work. A serious process does not need artificial urgency or opaque channels to move forward.
What Agencia Cero never requests through messaging
We never ask for banking passwords, authentication codes, transfers to third-party accounts, or installation of remote-access software through WhatsApp, Telegram, or social media. Nor do we offer guaranteed income or get-rich-quick schemes. A genuine business process takes place with traceability, a contract, and verifiable channels, under the governance of strategic data to distinguish activity from progress, rather than through vague promises.
Why this boundary is part of our security and our method
Requesting sensitive information through messaging breaks traceability and trust. Our method requires every exchange to have an owner, a record, and an agreed next step, a principle we also apply in intelligent automation and strategic email so that no opportunity is left without someone responsible and no customer is exposed to improvisation.
How the scam operates and what pattern to follow
Understanding the pattern helps you avoid falling for it in a hurry. The scam follows a script.
First contact through an unofficial channel with an attractive promise
The contact arrives through WhatsApp, Telegram, or a DM, with a logo and name, an offer of income, a prize, or an urgent collaboration, and a link to a form or alternative chat. The message appeals to brand authority and limited time to keep you from checking. A simple check is to ask which official page supports the offer and which domain they are asking you to log into. If the domain is not agenciacero.com, cut off contact.
A request for information, payment, or access that enables the fraud
After the hook, they ask for personal information, an activation payment, or access to install something. With one of those elements, the fraud moves on to impersonation, an unauthorized charge, or a takeover. None of the strategic web or AI-powered DCE dynamic advertising services we provide requires that kind of handover through prior messaging. If someone asks you for something similar, verify it through contact before taking any step.
The detail that reveals impersonation in seconds
A domain other than agenciacero.com, an email address that does not end in agenciacero.com, generic wording promising a guaranteed return, and pressure not to ask questions. Together, those four elements are an unmistakable sign. An agency working with branding takes care over consistency and tone; it does not write with urgency or repeated errors.
What to do if you receive a suspicious message
Do not argue with the sender. Verify through an official channel and preserve evidence.
Verify in seconds without handing anything over
Compare the domain, check that the URL is https://agenciacero.com and that the email ends in agenciacero.com, visit the site by typing the address rather than using the received link, and look for the same offer on the official site. If it is not there, it is external. That thirty-second routine prevents most cases, just as a strategic website with strategic UX/UI prevents friction by making clear where the action happens and where it does not.
Preserve evidence and cut off contact
Take a screenshot showing the number, username, and link, do not share information or codes, and block and report the sender on the platform. If you have already shared sensitive information, change your passwords and notify your bank before writing to us. The sooner you cut off the conversation, the less room there is for harm.
When to escalate to the authorities
If there has been a payment, document submission, or remote access, report it to the PDI and the Public Prosecutor’s Office with the preserved evidence, and notify us through contact so we can guide verification and record the case. Our collaboration with the authorities draws on precise reports, not general accounts, and is complemented by the traceability of strategic data when a case involves acquisition channels.
Official Agencia Cero channels to verify any contact
Verification requires checking the domain and the person responsible for the channel.
Website and email as the primary source of truth
The official website https://agenciacero.com, email addresses ending in agenciacero.com, and verifiable service pages such as marketing services, inbound marketing, and strategic data. If the communication does not lead you to those pages coherently, it is external. Be wary of variations with extra hyphens or different extensions.
Social media and direct contact with traceability
Social accounts linked from the official website and a contact form with a record and a commitment to respond. The genuine collaborations we propose involve an interview, assessment, and proposal with scope and metrics, not a direct message with an immediate promise. This is the same reasoning we apply in marketing agency: what needs to be in place before selling more, a hub that organizes prerequisites before scaling.
How we confirm when you are unsure
Write to us through the website with the message you received, and we will confirm within hours whether that communication is ours and who is responsible for it. That confirmation is recorded and provides supporting evidence for your report. It is the same standard we use to nurture opportunities with strategic email when we leave a record of every exchange.
What we are doing to prevent scams and what we expect from the community
This alert is part of ongoing work with the authorities and audience education.
Collaboration with the authorities and information updates
We maintain reporting and follow-up with the authorities and update this page when new patterns emerge. This systematic updating is the same approach we apply to pages that sustain visibility, because an up-to-date page protects more than an isolated notice, a criterion explained in SEO in SEO: why it is essential.
Education through content that supports sound decisions
We publish criteria for distinguishing strategy from noise and measuring real impact, such as digital marketing agency: how to distinguish strategy from noise and how to spot marketing agencies that sell noise. This content is a tool for the community to assess any offer against a minimum standard of traceability and proof.
What we ask of you today as a reader and customer
Verify before trusting, share this alert with your team, and always use contact for any questions. This simple practice cuts off the oxygen that impersonation relies on.
About Agencia Cero and why we protect this trust
Agencia Cero is part of DesignSEO Group LLC, focused on methodical digital marketing, where design that retains, content that answers, and measurement that distinguishes activity from impact work together.
A track record built on method, not promises
We do not promise quick sales. We agree on hypotheses, a responsible person, and a threshold for each stage, with governance through strategic data and execution that prioritizes strategic web and AI-powered DCE dynamic advertising only when the foundation is in order. That position is what obliges us to issue an alert when our name is used to promise what we would never promise.
The team and culture behind the promise
The team you see at Agencia Cero works with visible processes and reviews lessons learned every two weeks. That culture leaves a record, and the record is verifiable, which is why we can invite you to confirm any contact without fear of contradiction.
What to do today if you doubt a message using our name
Do not wait for the message to escalate. Verify through an official channel and share the pattern with those around you. Save this contact link and use it as the single entry point when doubt arises. If you need to organize criteria for evaluating any business proposal before hiring, start with what your business needs before selling more, which gives you a minimum benchmark so you do not fund confusion, and marketing services to see the full scope with a responsible person and metrics.
