Call 292 before sending money to suspected fraudsters, Cyber Security Authority warns

The Senior Manager for Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) at the CSA, Mr Alex Awere-Kyere, said although the Authority worked with the police and other security agencies to investigate fraud cases, recovery of funds could not be guaranteed once they had been withdrawn.

In response to questions from journalists, Mr Awere-Kyere said mobile money fraud involving stolen personal data was handled through the Joint Cybersecurity Committee established under Section 13 of Act 1038.

Mr Awere-Kyere made the call in Accra on Monday, August 10, 2026, when he addressed journalists on the protection of critical information infrastructure and the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038).
