MTN Ghana writes in reference to an article published in The Finder newspaper on  October 23rd 2017, under the headline Mobile Money Fraud alarming.  In the publication, the newspaper alledges amongst other things that staff of Telecom companies are involved in Mobile Money fraud.   The allegations made in the report which create negative impressions about the industry, are inaccurate. MTN wishes to state that the Company takes the data protection laws of Ghana and the  privacy of  customers very seriously.  Accordingly MTN has absolutely no tolerance for anyone (be it Mobile Money agents, employees)  who may seek to violate the very stringent policies and processes the Company has put in place to protect customer data and privacy.
