New Fraud Alert
There's a new MoMo Fraud scheme ongoing. So what these scammers do is they will call to tell you they sent money to your MoMo account. Once you deny, they'd ask you to switch off/ restart your phone, please DON'T.
Immediately you hang up, you'd see an authorisation payment message pop up on your phone to key in your pin code.
Again, please DON'T, ask the person to call MTN on 100. They will try several times to frustrate you. Another number, pretending to be from MTN, will call you to check your account, once again please DON'T.
It's another way of stealing from you. MTN will only call you on 0244300000.
Report such numbers via the shortcode 1515.
Please be vigilant!!!
