Mobile Money Safety - 6 min read
Protect Your Mobile Money Account from Social Engineering
Attackers target mobile money users with impersonation, fake support calls, and OTP requests. A few repeatable habits reduce risk dramatically.
Never share one-time codes
A legitimate support agent should never ask for your OTP, PIN, password, or backup codes.
Slow down payment requests
Confirm payment requests by calling the person through a saved contact, especially when the message mentions an emergency.
Review account alerts
Treat unexpected balance changes, SIM swap warnings, or failed login alerts as signals to lock down your account quickly.
