The centre in a statement shared on its social media dated March 19, 2024, admonished the business community and the public that “it does not solicit mobile money payments for any of its services.”

It added that “All services by the GIPC are conducted through a well-defined procedures (outlined on the GIPC website @ https://www.gipc.gov.gh/investor-guide/) that does not involve mobile money transfers.

The GIPC therefore advised the public to be wary of any individual or entity requesting mobile money payments in its name, saying “If you encounter such a situation, please do not engage. However, report the incident to law enforcement and inform the Centre.”
