Scam Description
The man named Ahmad Salah, using the website smartfolio24.com, advertised via Instagram a lifetime access to canva pro, which at the time I saw the ad I was not aware that such access to canva does not exist, anywhere. In fact, no membership subscription or access to canva is sold anywhere by third parties. I did not know this. I thought it was a good deal. What I didn’t know was that he was falsely advertising that the canva for education program was the same as canva pro 100%, saying that you can use the education version commercially. This is entirely untrue. The education program is designed to be free for k-12 students and teachers and is not as liberal in terms of licensing as the subscription based model of canva pro.
I hope that by investigating this man’s website and his scamming activities, it will be found necessary to shut this website down, or if that’s not possible, to make sure that buyers are warned and aware of its dangerous nature.
