In recent months, cybercriminals have increasingly targeted Ghanaians through unknown links promising free bundles, gifts, or cheaper internet packages. Users are encouraged to exercise extreme caution, especially when these offers ask for personal information or mobile money (MoMo) verification codes.
Here are key precautions to stay safe:
Avoid clicking unknown links sent via WhatsApp, Facebook, or SMS. Scammers often disguise these as promotional deals.
Never share your MoMo PIN or verification codes with anyone, even if they claim to be from your network provider.
Check official sources: Only trust promotions published by your mobile network provider’s official website or verified social media accounts.
Report suspicious activity: Notify your network provider if you encounter any suspicious links or requests for personal information.
Educate family and friends: Make sure everyone you know is aware of these scams, especially the elderly who may be more vulnerable.
These scams can drain your mobile money account, compromise personal data, and even affect your phone’s security. By staying vigilant, you can enjoy mobile services safely and avoid falling into traps.
