SIM cards used in fraud will be blocked

Minister Samuel Nartey George has issued a stern warning regarding SIM card registration. He advised citizens not to register SIM cards for other individuals, especially if those SIMs might be used for illegal activities.

The Minister explained that any SIM card linked to mobile money fraud will be identified and blocked. This action will be based on the Ghana Card used for the registration.

This new measure is intended to tackle the growing problem of mobile money fraud in Ghana. Authorities hope to deter criminals who use unregistered or falsely registered SIM cards for their schemes.

Registering a SIM card for someone else carries significant risk. If that SIM is used for fraudulent transactions, the registered owner faces consequences.

Minister George emphasized that the linkage to the Ghana Card is crucial for identifying responsible parties.

The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation is committed to protecting citizens from financial crimes.

This initiative highlights the importance of personal responsibility in SIM card registration processes.

Further details on the implementation and scope of this measure are expected.
