EXPERIENCES:
Dorcas Kusi, a 30 year old plantain seller told the Ghanaian Observer newspaper that she had been receiving calls from unknown persons asking her to check her mobile money wallet for some funds accidentally sent to her.
She said but for the education she had had during a previous visit by MTN officials at the arena she would have fallen prey to the trick.
Baffuor Asamoah, a mobile phone dealer also recounted series of text messages asking him to pay something in order to receive a prize he was told to have won from MTN.
He noted that but for him knowing how to inquire from MTN officials by dialing the short code to the customer care unit he would have been swindled.
