🚨 Report a problem

Report Fraud or Suspicious Activity

Help us keep Africa's payments safe. Report suspicious transactions immediately — our fraud team reviews every report and acts within minutes on active fraud.

🆘
If you believe fraud is actively happening right now — lock your account immediately via Account → Security → Lock Account, then call or WhatsApp us at +233 20 000 0001. Do not wait for email. We can attempt to reverse transfers initiated in the last 30 minutes.

What to report

💸

Unauthorised transfers

Transfers from your account that you did not initiate or authorise — even if small amounts. Fraudsters often test with tiny transfers before larger ones.

🎣

Phishing & impersonation

Fake emails, SMS, or WhatsApp messages pretending to be AfriLink Pay asking for your PIN, password, or OTP code. AfriLink Pay will never ask for your PIN by any channel.

🛒

Merchant fraud / scams

A merchant on AfriLink Pay accepted payment but did not deliver goods or services. Or a payment link from an unknown party is requesting money under false pretences.

👤

Account takeover

Your account login details have been compromised and someone else is accessing your account. Signs include unfamiliar login notifications or transactions you don't recognise.

💱

Money laundering suspicion

You suspect that someone is using your account or an AfriLink service to launder proceeds of crime — for example by structuring many small transfers to evade reporting thresholds.

📱

Fake AfriLink apps

A fake mobile app or website is impersonating AfriLink Pay to steal login credentials or initiate fraudulent transfers. The only legitimate domain is afrilinkpay.com.


How to report step by step

1

Secure your account

Go to Account → Security → Lock Account to freeze outbound transfers. Change your PIN immediately if you believe your credentials are compromised. Enable 2FA if you haven't already.

2

Note the details

Write down the transaction ID(s), amounts, dates, and any suspicious phone numbers, email addresses, or payment links involved. Screenshots help. Do not delete any messages from the fraudster.

3

Submit this report form

Complete the form below with as much detail as possible. Our fraud team receives reports immediately and will contact you via your registered email. For urgent active fraud, also use WhatsApp.

4

We investigate & act

Our team will review your report, attempt fund recovery if the transfer is recent, and escalate to law enforcement if appropriate. We'll keep you informed throughout via email.

What happens after you report

🔍 Immediate investigation

Your report goes directly to our 24/7 fraud team. For reports involving recent transfers, we attempt to freeze the receiving account and initiate a chargeback request with the destination provider within 30 minutes.

📧 Case updates

You'll receive a case reference number by email within 1 hour. We'll update you at each stage of the investigation — typically: acknowledgement → investigation → outcome. Most cases are resolved within 5 business days.

👮 Law enforcement

Where fraud evidence is clear, we file formal reports with the relevant national cybercrime authority (e.g. EFCC in Nigeria, Criminal Investigations Department in Ghana and Kenya). We cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations.

💰 Fund recovery

Full recovery is not always possible — especially for cross-border transfers that have already settled. However, if the fraudster's account holds funds and is identified, we will work with law enforcement to freeze and return them.

⚠️
Protect yourself going forward: AfriLink Pay staff will never ask for your PIN, password, OTP, or recovery codes — by email, phone, WhatsApp, or any other channel. If someone claiming to be AfriLink asks for these, hang up immediately and report it here.
