Ghana's National Cyber Security Centre has cautioned citizens about a new attempt to trick mobile money users. This scam aims to steal personal and financial information.
The agency is warning everyone to be extra careful when using mobile money services. Scammers may try to trick you into revealing your details.
If you receive unexpected messages or calls asking for your mobile money PIN or personal data, do not respond. Scammers often pretend to be from legitimate companies.
The National Cyber Security Centre advises everyone to ignore any links shared in suspicious messages. Clicking these links could lead to unauthorized access to your accounts.
Sharing personal information such as your phone number, PIN, or passwords can lead to financial loss. Authorities stress the importance of keeping these details private.
Mobile money users should report any suspicious activity immediately. This helps authorities track and stop the scammers.
Protective measures include regularly checking your mobile money statements for unusual transactions.
The National Cyber Security Centre will continue to monitor threats and inform the public about new ways to stay safe online.
