GCB Bank PLC has cautioned customers and the general public against a fraudulent investment post circulating on social media under the name “AfriQuantumX,” which falsely claims to be associated with the bank.

In a statement sighted by Citi News on Tuesday September 16, the bank said, “GCB Bank PLC warns the public against fake ‘AfriQuantumX’ investment post.”

According to the bank, the circulating advert misuses its official logo, displays an unrelated video, and redirects unsuspecting users to a non-GCB website. The statement stressed that, “GCB has not launched any product by this name.”

The bank further urged the public to avoid engaging with the post, advising, “The Bank advises the public not to click, not to share personal or banking details, and not to transfer funds in response to this post.”

Instead, customers are encouraged to rely on GCB’s official platforms for information. “Customers and the general public are advised to visit the Bank’s official channels to verify any such communications on the Bank and its products,” the statement added.

Reaffirming its commitment to protecting clients, the bank said, “GCB Bank PLC remains committed to safeguarding customers and combating online fraud.”

The caution comes amid a surge in fraudulent online investment schemes targeting unsuspecting Ghanaians, heightening calls for stronger public vigilance in digital financial transactions.
