CEPM clarified that the promotion is entirely fake and was not issued or endorsed by the company. The goal appears to be phishing—obtaining personal data, banking information, and verification codes from unsuspecting customers.

The company urged users not to click on suspicious links, not to make payments based on such messages, and to avoid sharing sensitive information. It also recommended reporting and deleting the messages immediately.

To verify promotions or service updates, CEPM advised using only official channels: its Virtual Office at cepm.com.do, the CEPM mobile app, customer service centers, and the official Instagram account @CEPMRD.

For confirmation or concerns, customers can contact CEPM directly at (809) 552-6333. The company reiterated the importance of verifying the source before clicking any link or making a payment.
