The Minerals Commission has alerted the public to a rise in scam emails. These messages are designed to trick people involved with Ghana's mining industry.
Individuals are pretending to be officials from the Minerals Commission. They are contacting stakeholders in the mining sector.
The scammers are asking for money. They also seek sensitive personal and business information under false pretences.
The Minerals Commission urges everyone to be cautious. They advise people not to share money or personal details with unexpected email senders.
Official communication from the Minerals Commission will follow established procedures. Stakeholders should verify any requests for payment or information directly with the commission through official channels.
This warning aims to protect the mining sector from financial losses and data breaches caused by these fraudulent activities.
