Orange Sierra Leone is urging its customers to be cautious of fake online advertisements promising free data.
The company issued a statement clarifying that they are not currently offering any free data deals to existing customers.
“We are urging customers to disregard any fake advertisements they may encounter online,” Orange Sierra Leone said in a statement. “Be careful of scam ploys and phishing websites.”
The company advised customers to only trust information received directly from Orange Sierra Leone through official channels, such as their social media pages. Orange Sierra Leone also reminded customers to be mindful of their personal information and avoid sharing it on suspicious websites.
This warning comes amid a rise in scams targeting mobile phone users. Phishing websites often try to trick users into revealing personal information, such as credit card details or login credentials, by mimicking the look of legitimate websites.
If you are unsure about the legitimacy of a data offer, it is always best to err on the side of caution and contact Orange Sierra Leone directly to confirm. You can also check the company’s official website and social media pages for any current promotions.
