Cybercrime is increasingly affecting people throughout Ghana. Scammers are using clever methods to trick individuals out of their money.
A typical scam involves a phone call. The caller claims to be from a mobile money service and states there is suspicious activity on your account.
The scammer sounds professional and calm. They convince you that your money is at risk and needs immediate protection.
They will ask you to confirm a one-time password. This password is often sent to your phone for so-called security verification.
Once you provide the password, the scammers can access your mobile money account. They quickly transfer your funds to their own accounts.
These incidents highlight a rising trend in cyber fraud targeting mobile money users.
Authorities are aware of this issue and are working to combat these criminal activities.
Citizens are urged to be extremely cautious of unsolicited calls asking for personal financial information.
