Spammers in Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso, located in West Africa, has seen an increasing prevalence of spam and cybercrime as digital communication continues to expand in the country. With more people gaining access to the internet and mobile devices, both individuals and businesses have become targets of spammers. These criminals often use phishing emails, fraudulent phone calls, scam SMS messages, and fake online promotions to deceive people into sharing personal information, bank details, or transferring money.

In Burkina Faso, while the awareness about digital threats is growing, many people still lack the knowledge to identify and avoid these types of scams. The government, along with local telecom companies, has been working to raise awareness and combat cybercrime through various initiatives. However, due to limited resources and technological infrastructure, addressing spam and cybercrime remains a significant challenge.
