CSA warns of fake restaurant numbers on Google used to steal food payments
The Cyber Security Authority reported that fraudsters are changing restaurants' phone numbers on Google Search and Maps, or buying ads, so customers who order food pay by mobile money and receive nothing. Losses reached GH¢296,083.68 in January to June 2026. Confirm a restaurant's number on its official website, verified social page or a trusted delivery app, and avoid paying through unfamiliar links.
