New Mobile Money Fraud Alert : Ghana Police cautions public



The Ghana Police has issued a statement on 17th March 2021 to caution the general public against a new method being adopted by fraudsters to defraud both Mobile Money Account holders and Merchants at the same time.

According to Ghana Police, the trick the fraudsters use is this;

Someone (fraudster) send you a text message that you have won a lottery of a sort

You are then called by a fraudster who will act as a representative of the telecommunication network (who in actual fact is a fraudster)

He will then ask you to proceed to the nearest mobile money vendor to do some corrections on your account so you can cash out your win because their system is down.

When you get to the vendor and you handover the phone call to him, he will then instruct the vendor to make an electronic payment from the vendor's account to the fraudster's account.

After the vendor transfers the electronic cash to him, the vendor will now ask you for the physical cash for the transfer since you brought the transaction to him only for the both you to realise that you have been robbed electronically.

If care is not taken, this could lead to serious argument and fight between the MoMo Merchant and the Account owner, therefore Ghana Police by their press statement is warning the general public to take notice of such fraudulent acts being perpetuated by some unknown criminals in the country.

All information that could lead to the arrest of such criminals should also be made available to Ghana Police.

Below is the press release :

Banger Alert: Kwe's "Link Up" Featuring King Jerry

Image
  Well, just before we could finish enjoying the "Ghana Boy" EP and fully digest the "Pele" song from Kwe another new banger has dropped from his camp titled "Link Up" featuring the ever versatile Ga singer, songwriter and record producer, King Jerry.  These two musical giants with their back to back hits have teamed up to give song lovers what they deserve. The banger "Link Up" sees the ever smooth singing voice of King Jerry lacing the track with very beautiful choruses, interjections and song remarks fused with modern day real rap delivered to perfection with Kwe's addition to the flow.  It's an Afrobeats hip hop kind of groove with the night clubbing atmosphere jamming to it in the background. It basically praises the ever gifted, endowed and curvy nature of our beautiful ladies and at the same time teases music lovers to link up at the joint for a good treatment as all their expectations will be met. Cash is not a problem because the...

KENNEDY AGYAPONG CAN BEAT MAHAMA HANDS DOWN

Image
The late Christian Atsu was asked which defender made his balling days terrible? He said Harrison Afful. The guy is not really much recognized and spoken much of but he can trouble strikers. He is very hard to dribble and he disorganises game plans of opponents. You see, many have not paid attention to him but technical coaches know his worth.  This is exactly what Kennedy Agyapong will do to Mahama if he is given the nod. He will really disorganize the game plan of NDC and dilute all their messages with water. This is what NPP needs if they want to retain power not that we want them in power though. They have messed up enough. I am just making my objective submissions regardless of politics.  Dr. Bawumia is very intelligent but he should still be a vice president under Kennedy Agyapong if they really want to trouble NDC. The only NPP man that can match Mahama boot for boot is Kennedy Agyapong. Akufo-Addo won not because he was tough, Ghanaians were just fed up with the "corru...

Nzema Community Fuming With Fire Over Prof. Gadzekpo's Comment On LGBTQ+

Image
 Well I don't know whether to finally admit that school knowledge doesn't necessarily make you a wise person in life as clearly Professor Audrey Gadzekpo in her recent comment about the LGBTQ+ anti-gay bill has gotten to prove that point very clearly.  In her comments she claims as a research person and a professor she knows the cultures of two particular tribes in Ghana being the Ga people and Nzema people accept gays. This comment by her doesn't sit well at all with my people. Yes, I said my people because I myself I am an Nzema from Princess Town in the Western Region.  I don't know how old the Professor is herself to be making that assertion or the evidences she has to be justifying that kind of comment but in my more than four decades of existence on earth never have I for once heard that our culture as Nzema people accept gays as part of our culture. I can confidently and emphatically say the Professor has lied and has not applied common sense at all in making suc...
