GHANA – SMALL MIRACLES: Scammers Arrested In Ghana
26 ‘Yahoo’ Boys Including Nigerians Arrested In Ghana, Laptops And Phones Recovered
In a rare sign of prosecution in Ghana, 26 scammers / internet fraudsters popularly known as ‘Yahoo’ boys have been apprehended by the Madina Divisional Police Command on Friday in Ghana.
According to multiple online reports from Ghana, about twenty six of them including Nigerians are suspected to be engaged in cyber crime.
Since it is Ghana, details are scarce, but this was as a result of recent training by the United States Department of Justice given to Ghana’s prosecutors in a move to both professionalize them and reduce corruption.
As you can see though, these are not a part of any of the larger syndicates. These are independent low level scammers.

Ruth, sadly it just doesn’t work that way. The information you have is fake – not the real team of scammers behind the fake identity. About 100 scammers are being arrested in West Africa a week now, but the police there do not identify the fake names that they use, or notify their victims. This is just fake information and you will probably never know which is why we advise that you report them and then turn away and focus on your own recovery.

He also has a gmail account using Philph Willison. This went on for two years and it was also romance induced. This person was very slick. He needs to be caught. He would have me ship these items to a shipping agency in Accra. He would send me the shipping Fedex labels. There had been times of mens clothing and many pairs of tennis shoes being involved in these shippings. Please find him before he breaks someone else’s heart.

Maybe a drop on the hot stone. Still a great job!!! More of it pls to dry the swamp of fraudFraud In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain (money or other assets), or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong. The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, for example by obtaining a passport, travel document, or driver's license, or mortgage fraud, where the perpetrator may attempt to qualify for a mortgage by way of false statements.
A fraud can also be a hoax, which is a distinct concept that involves deliberate deception without the intention of gain or of materially damaging or depriving a victim..

There are three options:
1: first report it on http://www.Anyscam.com so the information goes worldwide
2. Ask your local police to forward it to the EFCCEFCC Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is a Nigerian law enforcement agency that investigates financial crimes such as advance fee fraud (419 fraud), scams, and money laundering. The EFCC was established in 2003, partially in response to pressure from the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), which named Nigeria as one of 23 countries non-cooperative in the international community's efforts to fight money laundering. The agency has its head office in Abuja, Nigeria. in Nigeria – an email from them will carry more weight and get faster attention
3. Send an email complaint directly to the EFCC in Nigeria – they do accept complaints directly from victims.
What will happen depends on the quality of the information you provide. Do not expect anything to happen, but it might in time – investigations take time.
