Online scam alert: Ministry of Finance calls for vigilance
In a statement released this Friday, the Ministry of Finance once again sounded the alarm regarding the circulation of fraudulent messages on social media. Despite repeated warnings, these scams continue to spread, putting many citizens at risk.
The ministry reported the distribution of fake documents claiming to describe an investment transaction. These misleading messages aim to trick internet users into believing in illusory financial opportunities. Minister Georges Barcola stressed the importance of remaining vigilant against these scams.
The Ministry reminds that all its official communications are disseminated exclusively through recognized channels, including public media. Citizens are therefore advised to be wary of information from unverified sources and to refer to official announcements for any investment-related questions.
The Ministry of Finance also warned that the perpetrators of these fraudulent messages face severe penalties. Current laws and regulations provide for strict measures against those who attempt to deceive the public through fraudulent means.
In light of the rise in online scams, the Ministry of Finance is calling for increased vigilance. It is essential that every citizen be aware of the dangers associated with these scams and seek information only from official sources to avoid becoming a victim.
