According to the Deputy Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Armed Forces Andy La-Anyane who spoke to Citi Fm said,
” They take you to the office, then you make the transfers into their account and then you fly back to wherever you came from…and all their victims have been foreigners, not Ghanaians…so you go back home expecting your shipment to arrive…. when it arrives, you open and you realize it’s only cement bags”.
He also revealed that in one instance the scammers were able to make the unsuspecting client part ways with $400,000 just for him to receive a cement bag as gold.
