Super Advertise, an online business platform that operated in Sierra Leone from October 2023 to late December 2023, is currently facing serious allegations of fraudulent activities. Reports from the Gleaner Newspaper reveal that Super Advertise is accused of defrauding Sierra Leoneans of over Le 9,000,000,000.00 ($369,000.00) through task commissions.

The situation is further complicated by Orange-SL, a prominent mobile operator, freezing all accounts associated with Super Advertise. This development not only raises concerns but also escalates the conflict as Super Advertise accuses the mobile operator of hindering its operations.

In response to the accusations, Orange-SL issued a statement on January 3rd, 2024, vehemently denying any involvement or contractual association with Super Advertise. The mobile operator clarified that there are no frozen accounts linked to the accused company on their Orange Money platform.

The conflicting narratives between Super Advertise and Orange-SL have created unease within the Sierra Leonean community. Authorities now face the challenging task of uncovering the truth behind these allegations and assessing the extent of Super Advertise's alleged fraudulent activities.

The reported defrauded amount of Le 9,000,000,000.00 ($369,000.00) adds financial distress to an already sensitive matter, prompting affected individuals to seek justice and accountability for their losses.

This unfolding saga emphasizes the risks associated with online platforms and underscores the importance of exercising due diligence in engaging in online transactions. It serves as a reminder for users to be cautious, prompting regulatory bodies to enhance oversight in the continually evolving landscape of online services in Sierra Leone.
