The Cyber Security Authority has alerted the public to a rise in complex phishing scams. These scams are designed to trick people who use mobile money services.
This warning comes as a precautionary measure to protect citizens' financial information and funds. The authority emphasizes the need for increased vigilance.
Users of mobile money are strongly advised not to share personal details or financial information in response to unsolicited messages. Always verify the sender and the authenticity of any request.

Authorities recommend that anyone who suspects they have encountered a phishing attempt should report it immediately. This helps in tracking and stopping the fraudsters.
Mobile money platforms are a convenient way to send and receive money. However, they can also be targets for criminals.
