ANNOUNCEMENTS
While the adoption of digital financial services has grown significantly in Ethiopia, it has also increased consumer protection risks. Recent incidents indicate a rise in scams and attempted fraud conducted through hacked or impersonated messaging and social media accounts. For instance, Fraudsters are increasingly using platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, email, SMS and unsolicited or fake phone calls to impersonate individuals and request urgent financial transfers from unsuspecting customers.
