Pee Cee & Sons Ltd has on January 19, 2026 issued an official public notice distancing itself from a fraudulent online message circulating on social media platforms, particularly WhatsApp, falsely claiming that individuals can receive money using the company’s name.
In a statement released by its Management on Tuesday, the company categorically denied any involvement in the promotion, describing the circulating message as “false and fraudulent.”
The notice clarified that Pee Cee & Sons Ltd does not conduct promotions, giveaways or financial reward schemes through WhatsApp links or unfamiliar websites. Management warned members of the public to exercise caution and avoid clicking on suspicious links or sharing personal information with unknown sources.
“We do not run promotions or giveaways through WhatsApp links or unknown websites,” the statement emphasized. “Please do not click on any links or share personal information. We urge the public to report the message on WhatsApp and delete it immediately.”
The company further stated that it will not be held liable for any losses incurred as a result of the scam.
The Management’s alert comes amid a rise in online impersonation schemes targeting reputable businesses in Sierra Leone. Cybercriminals often exploit the names and brands of established companies to deceive unsuspecting members of the public into disclosing sensitive personal or financial information.
Pee Cee & Sons Ltd, a longstanding importer, distributor and wholesaler established in 1965, reiterated its commitment to transparency and responsible corporate conduct. The company is encouraging customers and partners to verify any promotional information through its official communication channels.
Authorities have consistently advised the public to remain vigilant against online scams and to report suspicious activities to relevant platforms and law enforcement agencies.
Members of the public are urged to treat unsolicited financial offers with caution and to confirm the authenticity of any promotion directly with the company involved before taking action.
