A fake account on X impersonating Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch has been promoting a fictitious cryptocurrency. The Head of Government’s office and Bank Al-Maghrib have issued alerts to protect citizens from scams. Despite a previous ban on cryptocurrencies in 2017, Morocco is witnessing significant adoption and presence in the digital currency sphere.

In a recent alert, the Office of the Head of Government of Morocco disclosed the existence of a fraudulent account on X (formerly Twitter) impersonating Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch. This account has been promoting a non-existent cryptocurrency, raising concerns about potential scams targeting citizens. Officials confirmed that the authentic channels for government communications on X can be found at @ChefGov_ma.

The increasing incidents of digital scams in Morocco highlight the importance of vigilance among citizens regarding online information. Both the Prime Minister’s office and Bank Al-Maghrib are committed to protecting their identities and interests. Moreover, as cryptocurrency continues to gain traction in Morocco, official bodies are taking significant measures to clarify and regulate this evolving landscape.
