So why didn't you turn these scammers in to police

I once heard " The foolish and their money will soon be parted"

@Tatjana.B

Some stories are pure horror. Some people have lost all, money, savings for retirement, cars and houses. Please banks…block sending money to Nigera and Ghana and involve police in every attempt. Write warnings everywhere!

@donnavaughn9409

I think these men in Ghana feel less guilty on this because they probably grew up in poverty, and maybe they didn't have a change to go to school, so instead of working in a regular call center, this was easier and more lucrative

@NewJodel

Us West Africans work really hard but our corporations and government cannot afford to pay us well. Scamming is the only way to make up for the poor wages for most people.
Without scamming, most people would not be able to afford rent from their 9-5 jobs. Scamming has really helped most people unfortunately

@Longinvalidation

All Ghanaians income must be examined and prosecuted

@josephquaye5155

Don't worry they will rounded up very soon.

Eiii Ghanafuo smh🤦🏾‍♀️

@voiceofreason9307

Many are Nigerians living in Ghana. They arrest them but they keep increasing

@shinyvalley5145

What’s the real purpose of this video documentary in the first place , even asking the leaders to grant interviews with the men with covered faces. They should just leave people to be and let the police and the law do it’s own job . No one needs their opinions or sentiments doing such a one sided incriminating video.

@nanakuami2916

It’s a lie 😢 all of this is staged .

@nelsonemmanuel7545

Why would you snitch on yourself 😂
You think that mask will save you?

@Serwaaguller

These are people from other countries…they are not original ghanaians

Are these people true Ghanaians or Nigerians living in Ghana scamming people. I am just asking???

@Peterblack12

West African values

@RachealKibaiya-r2p

Can we do the Indians…

@hy9w

Our Elderly old people 😢find themselves in situations that is bad. I always educate young men and women to treat their children, wife, husband, family right so that during the evil days you will be fulfilled and bear fruit.

Treat people right 😢😢

@StikyPoncho

Apparently, no arrest has been made after this report. 8 stand corrected

@shelbynamels973

There is a simple solution. Take away old people's computers and smartphones. Only cable TV and landline phones for you, gramps.

@shelbynamels973

I would really like to see that 'Strayan woman extradited to Ghana to answer charges. She shouldn]t be able to just walk away from her role in that scam.

@bnwo

Old fools lololol

@antwistephen8283

AS A GHANAIAN THESE ARE NOT OUR VALUES
