Redtech Limited wishes to alert the public to a fraudulent scheme operating under the name “RedPay Credit,” which falsely claims to be affiliated with RedPay and Redtech Limited.
We have become aware that fraudulent actors are impersonating the RedPay brand through fake Telegram groups, websites, social media pages, recruitment messages, and other digital channels to deceive members of the public into participating in a fake investment programme.
What We Know
The perpetrators are falsely using the RedPay name, brand images, and publicly available content to create the impression that the scheme is legitimate. As part of this fraudulent activity, they claim to offer:
– Investment returns
– Welcome bonuses
– “RPC Codes”
– Daily financial payouts
– Other incentives designed to encourage people to invest money.
These claims are entirely false.
RedPay is a digital payments platform. We do NOT operate investment schemes, offer guaranteed financial returns, sell “RPC Codes,” or run any programme that promises daily income or investment profits.
RedPay Is Not Associated With
To avoid any doubt, RedPay is NOT associated with:
– The “RedPay Credit” scheme
– Any investment or Ponzi scheme
– Any RPC Code sale
– Any Telegram investment group
– Any WhatsApp investment group
– Any website promoting investment opportunities using the RedPay brand
– Any platform promising financial returns or daily payouts using the RedPay name
– Any person, website, social media account, messaging group, or digital platform making these claims is acting without the knowledge or authorisation of Redtech Limited.
How the Fraud Operates
Reports received indicate that the perpetrators are:
– Inviting members of the public to Telegram and WhatsApp groups.
– Operating fake websites and social media accounts using the RedPay brand.
– Requesting payments for so-called “RPC Codes.”
– Promising welcome bonuses and recurring daily returns.
– Using RedPay’s name,and brand assets to create a false sense of legitimacy.
– Encouraging individuals to recruit others into the scheme.
These tactics are designed to mislead members of the public into believing they are dealing with RedPay.
Protect Yourself
We strongly advise customers, merchants, partners, and the general public to exercise caution.
Do Not:
– Purchase any “RPC Code.”
– Make payments to individuals claiming to represent RedPay.
– Join unofficial Telegram, WhatsApp, or other social media groups using the RedPay name.
– Trust websites promoting investment opportunities using the RedPay brand.
– Share your password, PIN, OTP, card details, bank information, BVN, NIN, or personal documents with unverified persons or platforms.
– Click suspicious links or respond to unsolicited investment offers.
If an offer claims you can earn guaranteed returns by investing through RedPay, it is fraudulent.
