Ghana’s indigenous oil marketing company, GOIL PLC, has taken note of information circulating online suggesting that the company is undertaking a gold-related scheme and promising rewards to customers.
According to the company, the information is fake, deceitful, and clearly generated using artificial intelligence (AI) for fraudulent purposes.
In a statement, GOIL condemned the content of the viral video in the strongest possible terms, describing it as an act of digital impersonation intended to exploit the trust and credibility the brand has built over decades.
The company urged the public to exercise utmost caution and to disregard the fabricated content entirely.
“GOIL views this criminal attempt to defraud and mislead the public as a serious cyber offence. The company is collaborating closely with the relevant security and cybercrime authorities to track down and prosecute the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law,” the statement said.
GOIL reaffirmed its commitment to responsible and transparent corporate governance, ethical business practices, and the protection of its valued customers and stakeholders.
