Why You Shouldn't Pay Merchants Directly
Never pay merchants directly. Doing so removes your protection from FOMO in the event of fraud, cancellations, or non-performance.
All purchases should be completed through FOMO’s secure platform to be eligible for refunds and support.
You can contact merchants to check availability, but always make your payment on the FOMO site.
If a merchant asks for payment directly, report it to us immediately via Whatsapp at 077 451 6611.
