⚠️ BUSINESS WARNING GTE AWARDS SCAM

⚠️ BUSINESS WARNING – GTE AWARDS / gteawards.com

We are sharing our experience to warn other businesses to exercise caution when dealing with GTE Awards.

Our business, Shark Explorers, paid for a GTE Awards winners package after receiving communications regarding the award and the associated package.

Despite payment being made, we have not received the promised winners package or deliverables. We have contacted GTE Awards and their representatives repeatedly by email, but the matter remains unresolved and we have not received the package we paid for.

We have retained the invoice, proof of payment, correspondence and supporting documentation and have reported the matter to the appropriate consumer/fraud authorities.

We are sharing this information so that other businesses can conduct their own due diligence before making any payment.

Our complaint is based on our own documented experience. We encourage any other businesses who have experienced similar issues with GTE Awards to document their experience and report it to the relevant authorities.
