Prime Group said a malicious message is being circulated on social media and among WhatsApp groups in a deliberate effort to discredit the business entity and to purposefully mislead its customers.

“We strongly declare that the message in circulation is completely false, baseless, misleading, inaccurate, published with a malicious intent and hence, lacks total credibility,” a brief statement said.
