In Ghana, “Sakawa” is synonymous with illegal internet-based fraud. Sakawa has come to include all types of online fraud that targets mostly Europeans and Americans. But in poor areas this…

@LuisLopez-f7z

@jillcabler2186

@amosdankwa2279

@richmrstonestone

Total thugs class. Instead of learning from the successful class they steal and act savage.

@abdulkadirosman1219

@AfricanBoyGH

Why are u tagging this guy as a Ghanaian ? That’s obviously a Nigerian guy

@DiamondDave83

Wow oh wow they almost got me god help me before I was scammed

@antb9521

The white man being accused cheating people is getting old. These countries need to find ways for their citizens to EARN money. I am 67 . I started working (making an honest living) at 14 yo and haven't stopped. I am not rich. I don't buy luxurious stuff. Just necessity. Stop blaming whites and ask your leaders to bring jobs to your country.

@rob3rt788

We need more churches and pastors

@idahobeth6369

This journalist is lazy, you clearly know he is a Nigerian yet you tag him as a Ghanaian. How much were you paid painting your own people black? Smh.

I think the death penalty would stop this crime in Ghana or cutting off a limb. All fraudsters are armed robbers like shatta wale,akufo addo,ofri atta and ibra 1.

@akneegrow6152

Yeah…I can't take any guy going around wearing women's sandals seriously.

@jimkreider5264

Does anyone know Doris Tetteh. So many have this name. Bud she and Enoch mills scammed me. Tried again.

@blackstarghana

Scammers, fraudsters, cheaters n 419 r not better like the aggressors they robbed everything away from my Ghana

@ghaselaike8216

We should not lose our empathy to other people. I wonder why people are so annoyed by these fraud but is ok with the big tech company continuing exploiting us in privacy and monopoly the market. Regardless he is a Ghanian or Nigerian, or anywhere in the world, the reason he commit the crime has nothing to do with his origin but of his GREED and he chooses the easy way to get what he need.

@user-po1np7zy8d

Kofi is clearly speaking with a Nigerian accent

Commenting to say Well done to the guy at 5:10 he knows what hes talking about.

I am coming very soon to an END.
in GHANA and NIGERIAN.

@christophervant9511

i,ve been to ghana..it,s a shithole!!!

@justice9047

We do this shit to survive

@ektorkornoo8806

The accent of the guy called 'Kofi' is very clearly non-Ghanaian.

Cut off there internet and electricity like Nigeria did then these guys would starve. I wonder how these clowns are getting money now after covid 19.

@ludwigvonkoopa4998

You know what they said, "if a fish is stupid enough to take an obvious bait, then he deserves to be caught" so idt have very much sympathy for the people who are fooled by scam

@essahhudson4353

@MsZeitgeist85

Time to ban money transfers to Ghana and Nigeria.
