COMMUNIQUE - Fraudulent MauBank Profiles and Online Scams

MauBank Ltd wishes to alert its customers and the general public of fraudulent activity currently circulating on various digital platforms, including fake profiles impersonating the bank, and misleading messages that falsely claim to represent MauBank.
