If something happened, you can still take action.
Practical first steps after a suspicious message, account compromise or payment fraud. The sooner you contact the right provider, the more options you may have.
Act immediatelyI shared my PIN or OTP
- Contact your mobile-money provider or bank using its official support channel.
- Request a transaction hold or account freeze where available.
- Change compromised passwords and revoke active sessions.
- Save transaction references and report the incident to the relevant provider or authorities.
Secure your deviceI clicked a suspicious link
- Close the page. Do not install anything or enter personal information.
- If you entered credentials, change them using the official app or website.
- Enable multi-factor authentication and review recent account activity.
- If you installed software, disconnect from sensitive accounts and seek trusted technical assistance.
Verify independentlySomeone is impersonating support
- End the conversation without sharing codes or transferring money.
- Find the organization’s contact details from an official source.
- Report the impersonating account to the platform and organization.
- Warn affected contacts without forwarding private information.
Preserve evidenceI paid a suspected scammer
- Contact your payment provider immediately and ask about reversal or dispute options.
