Fact Check: No, EcoCash has not opened a WhatsApp crypto-currency trading platform

by in Fact Reports

Claim: A group link circulating on Whatsapp inviting people to join an Ecocash Cryptocurrency trading investment platform. The group uses Ecocash’s logo as its banner.

Is this true or False?

Verdict: False

EcoCash Zimbabwe has distanced itself from the Whatsapp group saying the company communicates with customers through its official platforms which are; Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram or Whatsapp number 0777222151.

The mobile banking service provider encourages the public to safeguard their passwords and be weary of scammers.

Conclusion

It is misleading for the platform to use the brand identity (logo and corporate colours) of EcoCash Zimbabwe without their permission.
