Remarking on the enhancement of Mobile Money transactions, the General Manager for MTN Mobile

commitment to use technology as a means to reduce cash transactions in the economy. He called on
all customers to take advantage of incentives, enjoy the convenience of financial intermediation via
MTN MoMo and reduce person to person interaction in this period of managing the spread of COVID-
19 pandemic
He also cautioned customers to be aware of scammers and fraudsters. He reiterated the three Golden
Rules for mobile money stating that at no point should customers disclose their pin codes, allow others
to make transactions on their behalf. He also advised customers not to entertain calls to discuss their
wallets or respond to promotions they have not participated in. He encouraged customers to
crosscheck with MTN to verify any details before they take any action on their MoMo wallet. It is
important to note that no fraud on MTN MoMo will be successful without the active participation of the
customer.
