It is scary how the announcement by the government that No Ghana Card No. March 2024 Salary has empowered fraudsters to start a new scheme to defraud unsuspecting bank account holders working in the public sector.
Audios circulating indicate that those who are banking with GCB, ADB, etc. are more likely to be defrauded.
They are calling from the Accra main branch and will get every detail from you. In addition, they are sending messages using Telco service providers, and the messages are so accurate that it is difficult for customers to tell that the fraudsters are not real.
Some bank customers have already fallen victim and have given out their credentials provided by their banks and MTN to these fraudsters.

Go to your telco if anyone has called you in recent times purporting to be calling from your bankers, and get your pin reset as soon as possible. You can also reset your Momo pin through the self-service on your Momo account.
Fraudsters have started calling unsuspecting Ghanaians. All government workers are in danger if they do not take steps to verify and recheck the linking of their Ghana card to their bank accounts.
