The Coca-Cola Bottling Company Ltd (TCCBCL) and Airtel Ghana’s attention has been drawn to some messages in circulation claiming that the two companies are running a promotion that requires recipients to make mobile money transfers to a given number to claim their prizes or rewards.

TCCBCL and Airtel Ghana would like to state that we are not running any promotion of this nature.

Our investigations indicate that this is a scam intended to dupe unsuspecting members of the public by some unscrupulous individuals.

We have taken steps to report this matter to the authorities for further investigations.
We want to encourage the general public to disregard messages in this or other forms requiring them to make payments to redeem prizes or rewards.

All promotions run by both companies are duly communicated to the general public through official company channels and through the media.

If in doubt contact TCCBCL on 0302 814844 or Airtel Ghana on short code 222
