How to Avoid Scams and Protect Yourself
At Motion Driven LLC, we value the trust of our community and want to ensure that every interaction with us is safe, transparent, and authentic. Unfortunately, as our giveaways and promotions grow in popularity, scammers sometimes try to take advantage of excited fans by pretending to be us.
This page explains how to recognize legitimate communications from Motion Driven LLC., what we will and will not do, and how you can protect yourself from being scammed. Please read carefully so you know what to expect if you are ever selected as a winner in one of our giveaways.
Our Official Communication Methods
We will only contact winners through legitimate channels. Depending on the type of giveaway, here is how we will reach out:
Phone or Email (Most Giveaways)
For the majority of our sweepstakes and promotions, Motion Driven LLC. will contact winners directly by phone or email.
This is the most secure method and allows us to verify your details quickly.
Make sure the email you provide during entry is accurate, and always double-check that any communication is coming from an official Motion Driven LLC email address.
Social Media (Instagram & TikTok Giveaways)
If the giveaway is hosted on Instagram or TikTok, we may not have access to your phone number or email at the time of entry.
In this case, we will only contact winners directly through the official Motion Driven LLC accounts:
Instagram: @motiondrivenco
TikTok: @motion.driven
We will never use personal accounts, backup accounts, or “fan pages” to contact winners. If you receive a message from any other account, it is a scam.
What We Will Never Do
To help you spot scams, here are things Motion Driven LLC will never ask of you:
We will never ask you to pay money to claim a prize.
If you’ve won, you’ve won. You do not need to pay shipping, taxes, or handling fees upfront. Any message requesting payment before you receive your prize is fraudulent.We will never ask for sensitive personal information via social media DMs.
While we may ask for basic contact details to confirm your identity, we will not request your Social Security number, banking details, or other highly sensitive information through Instagram or TikTok messages.We will never pressure you with urgent deadlines or threats.
Scammers often say things like “You must pay now or lose your prize.” Motion Driven LLC will always give you clear, reasonable timelines to respond, and we’ll never threaten or pressure you.We will never contact you from unofficial accounts.
Always check the spelling of the account name. Fake pages may use extra letters, numbers, or symbols (for example: “@motiondrivenco_” or “@motiondrivenco1”). If it’s not our exact handle, it’s not us.
