The Electricity Company of Ghana has cautioned customers against the activities of fraudsters who call ECG customers in the name of ECG to make payments to certain mobile money accounts to access ECG services.
The power operator asked customers to ensure that they go through the appropriate channels to make any form of payment to the ECG.
