Gold Fields denies organising bonanza
Accra, April 12, GNA - Gold Fields Ghana, one of the leading
mining companies in Ghana, on Thursday denied that it was
running a bonanza either by itself or in collaboration with
any other company.
It said in a statement signed by Mr. Toni Aubynn, Head,
Corporate Affairs and Social Development, that it had also
not contracted any person, persons or agent(s) to undertake
any such activity on its behalf.
"The Company is hereby advising the general public to take
note and be wary of such or similar messages," the statement
said.
"Gold Fields Ghana, the operators of the Tarkwa and Damang
Gold Mines and the Headline Sponsors of the Black Stars,
believes this is a hoax and shall not take responsibility
now or in the future for losses or costs that may be
suffered in relation to this so called bonanza," it added.
It noted that in August last year, some text messages were
being circulated, claiming that Gold Fields Ghana was
running a "bonanza" for which recipients were told to have
won an amount of money.
The so-called winners were requested to send their personal
information to some given cell phone numbers.
It said in December last year the Company issued another
media release advising the public against such unscrupulous
individuals/groups who have adopted such schemes in order to
deceive the public and extort money from them.
Now, it said, such text messages were being circulated once
more and warned the public to be on their guard.
