The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has warned Ghanaians against a fraudulent scheme under the pseudo name “Worldremit” operating in the country.
According to the Central Bank, it has not provided license to such an entity or any other to engage in money doubling.[ads2]
In a press statement, BoG noted that the fraudulent scheme “Worldremit” is distinct from the globally renowned Fintech “WorldRemit” which is in the business of international fund transfers.
“This scheme encourages customers to select preferred packages, following which a code is generated by the fraudsters with which they obtain the WhatsApp accounts of their victims for spurious purposes. The scheme is fraudulent and does not reward investors as promised,” the press release read.[ads3]
To prevent Ghanaians from falling prey to the fraudulent scheme, the Central Bank stated that individuals can “verify with Bank of Ghana or other relevant authorities, the licensing authorities of persons or entities prior to depositing funds with them.”
“Place deposits only with institutions licensed by Bank of Ghana, in order that they may be accorded the necessary protection offered under the applicable banking laws,” the press statement added.
