The Ghana Police Service has issued a warning about a new scam targeting the public. Criminals are sending fake bank alert messages to people's phones.
These messages are designed to look like they come from a real bank. They often ask for personal information or prompt the recipient to click a link.
The purpose of these fake alerts is to steal money or personal data. This could include bank account numbers, passwords, or mobile money details.
The police service is urging all citizens to be extremely careful about messages claiming to be from their banks.
Always verify information directly with your bank through official channels. Do not share sensitive financial details based on unsolicited messages.
Authorities are investigating these incidents to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
This scam highlights the ongoing threat of cyber fraud and the need for public awareness.
The police advise anyone who receives such a message to report it immediately and not to reply.
