Scammers have now targeted the largest mobile network operator, Econet. The scammers have created a page with the Econet logo and cover, even the name except the verification of course, Econet Zimbabwe’s actual Facebook page is verified plus the fake page has zero followers.
The page undoubtedly aims to target the increasingly data hungry Zimbabweans off guard. The fake Econet page is promising Zimbabweans 15GB of data on sign up and we all know Econet would never do that in their lifetime, that is how we knew the page was fake.
So when one decides to signup they are taken to a website called Jinaka.com(above) which was made to look like Facebook. Don’t panic yet. We also entered fake credentials to see what happens so that you don’t have to. A user is simply redirected to more fake webpages with ads, but at this stage your credentials would have been taken and no 15GB of data was sent to you.
Be careful people!
