Do not make payments to certain mobile money accounts – ECG to customers

The Electricity Company of Ghana has asked customers to be aware of the activities of fraudsters who pose as officials of the company to extort money from victims.

According to ECG, these unscrupulous persons call ECG customers in the name of ECG to make payments to certain mobile money accounts to access ECG services.

ECG said, "Customers should please note that ECG does not demand payments for service through phone calls. Customers are strongly advised to personally initiate transactions through ECG POWER (Mobile App or short code *226#) for all payments.”

The electricity company said it is also working around the clock to bring these fraudsters to book.

It is, therefore, urging customers to report any instances of fraud.
