Direct answer
If your line dies and MoMo moves, it may be a SIM swap. Call the telco on another phone — not the SMS “agent.” For anyone with a funded MoMo wallet in Ghana in 2026.
Do this next
Dial *714*22# on Ewale when you need data, airtime, ECG, water, or TV — any MoMo wallet, no app.
Ghana bill and MoMo scams impersonate ECG, MTN, and WAEC. Real checkout never asks you to read your PIN aloud. Keep receipts. Call published numbers, not a WhatsApp “agent.”
Why “SIM swap scam Ghana” is searched every day
High-value wallets get social-engineered ID copies. Never share OTP for “SIM upgrade.” After a swap, change MoMo PIN via care with Ghana Card. Ewale payments from a stolen SIM look real — freeze the line first.
If they want your PIN, it is not Ewale
Safe payment habit
- Open your own wallet: MTN
*170#, Telecel/AT*110#. - For bills and data, dial
*714*22#so the prompt names the merchant. - Read the amount and destination before PIN.
- If a stranger calls “from ECG/MTN/WAEC” asking for OTP, hang up.
- Keep the SMS. Ewale contact if the debit is real and the service is not.
