Medianet warns of hoax phone calls

Cable television service provider Medianet has warned of hoax phone calls from impersonators claiming to be the company’s officials requesting credit transfers to claim a prize.

The impersonators were asking people to reload a certain number in order to claim a prize that they have won in a promotional competition.

“Medianet would like to assure all our customers that Medianet would never ask for the customers to pay in order to claim a prize,” the company said today.

“It is advised from everyone to be extremely cautious of such phone calls and to keep updated about the promotions through Medianet’s website, social media platforms or contact us directly at 3320800.”
