GME Remittance Issues Public Safety Notice Regarding Fake Accounts and Fraud Risks
1st January 2026, Kathmandu
In an era where digital financial services are becoming the backbone of the economy, security remains the most significant concern for both service providers and users. GME Remittance Nepal, a leading name in the cross border payment sector, has officially issued an urgent public safety notice to address the rising threat of cyber fraud.
GME Remittance Public Safety Notice
The company’s advisory is designed to reassure its vast user base about the inherent security of the GME App while simultaneously warning them about the sophisticated tactics used by scammers. These fraudulent activities often involve the creation of fake social media profiles that mimic the official brand to steal sensitive personal and financial data from unsuspecting customers.
THE THREAT OF FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES AND FRIEND REQUESTS
One of the primary concerns highlighted in the GME Remittance advisory is the misuse of social media platforms, particularly Facebook. Scammers have been creating highly convincing fake accounts using the company’s logo and official imagery to send friend requests to users. GME Remittance has categorically clarified that the company does not send friend requests on Facebook or any other social platform under any circumstances. Customers are urged to remain extremely vigilant and avoid any interaction with accounts that reach out via personal messages or friend requests, as these are definitive signs of a phishing attempt aimed at gaining trust.
PROTECTING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: OTP AND PASSWORDS
The safety notice places a heavy emphasis on the confidentiality of sensitive digital credentials. GME Remittance has reminded all users that Bank One Time Password (OTP) codes, login passwords, and PIN numbers are strictly confidential. These codes act as the final gatekeeper for financial transactions, and sharing them with anyone—including individuals claiming to be company representatives—can lead to immediate financial loss. The company reiterated that no legitimate financial institution will ever ask for a password or OTP over a phone call or chat. Users are encouraged to treat these credentials with the same level of security as physical cash.
OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION CHANNELS AND VERIFIED CONTACTS
To prevent users from falling into the traps of unauthorized platforms, GME Remittance has listed its verified communication channels. For any inquiries, assistance, or reporting of suspicious activity, customers should only use the following official touchpoints:

- The official GME Remittance Facebook Page (verified with the blue checkmark).
- The authorized customer support contact number: 1811-2934.
The secure messaging feature built directly into the GME App. Communication outside these verified channels is considered a high security risk. The company warns that using third party financial applications to process GME transactions or provide feedback could lead to the unauthorized interception of data.
ASSURING THE SECURITY OF THE GME APP ECOSYSTEM
While the notice serves as a warning against external threats, GME Remittance has taken this opportunity to reassure the public that the GME App itself is built on robust security protocols. The application uses advanced encryption and multi factor authentication to protect user data during transit and storage. The security breaches reported by some users are often not a result of a flaw in the app’s code but rather a result of social engineering, where the user is tricked into revealing their own secrets. By maintaining the integrity of the app and providing regular security updates, GME Remittance ensures that as long as users follow safe digital habits, their funds remain protected.
RESPONSIBILITY AND INFORMED FINANCIAL CHOICES
The advisory encourages customers to become active participants in their own financial security. Selecting a secure and reputable platform is the first step toward peace of mind. GME Remittance’s commitment to responsible digital practices involves not only providing a secure tool but also educating the public on how to use it safely. The company believes that an informed customer is the strongest defense against cybercrime. By following the guidelines provided in this safety notice, users can continue to enjoy the convenience of instant remittances without the fear of falling victim to digital predators.
REPORTING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AND FRAUD ATTEMPTS
If a customer encounters a suspicious link, a fake page, or receives an unauthorized call, GME Remittance advises immediate action. Users should report the fake social media accounts directly to the platform (such as Facebook or Instagram) and inform GME’s official support team. Prompt reporting helps the company take legal and technical action to shut down fraudulent sites before they can harm others. Staying silent about a close call or a suspicious message only allows the scammers to refine their tactics. Cooperation between the community and the remittance provider is essential for maintaining a safe digital economy in Nepal.
CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS FOR USERS
In conclusion, the public safety notice issued by GME Remittance Nepal is a vital intervention in the fight against financial fraud. While the GME App remains a secure and reliable way to send and receive money, the human element of security remains vulnerable. By avoiding fake social media accounts, keeping OTPs private, and sticking to official contact channels, users can protect their hard earned money. GME Remittance reaffirms its dedication to protecting customer data and maintaining the high level of trust it has built over the years.
