Article Abstract
The Money God Empire (MGE) is a Ghanaian scamming syndicate that blends elements of Nigerian Yahoo Plus rituals and Ghanaian Sakawa practices.
It primarily involves street-level scammers, who target men using pornographic and camgirl materials, often fueled by racism towards whites and African immigrants in the West. While seen as a “new religion” among these scammers, the more professional cartels and higher-level fraudsters, often Muslim or Christian, regard these practices with amusement, focusing instead on more sophisticated operations.

Special Report: Ghanaian Scammer’s Money God Empire (“MGE”) [Updated 2024]
In Ghana (and Leaking into Neighboring Countries) a Kind of Money Ritual has Evolved, Partly Based on the Black Axe and Yahoo Yahoo Plus from Nigeria with a Mix of Sakawa
Money God Empire (“MGE”)
It appears to be borrowing from the Nigerian Yahoo Plus, with a dash of Sakawa thrown in. However, it is also uniquely Ghana.
There is limited specific information available on a group called “Money God Empire (MGE)” tied to Ghanaian scammers. However, West African scamming syndicates, particularly in Ghana, are known to operate elaborate schemes, often focused on romance and investment fraud. These scams rely heavily on manipulation, where victims are coerced into sending money under false pretenses. Many of these networks are financially motivated, with members rationalizing their actions as “hustles” within difficult economic contexts
It is all amount blessing the scammer, as much for their motivation as a criminal as for their success. The scammers that engage in this are the lower level gang thugs of Ghana and not a part of the larger operations run out of Universities or Corporate Cartel Centers. These are the street Sakawa boys that can be characterized as Ghana’s send generation of thug scammers.
They mostly focus on scamming men using porn and camgirl photos. They are extreme in their racism against whites AND against blacks living in Europe and the United States (including Canada and Australia).
In Ghana scammer circles this has become the New Religion, even though traditional Sakawa remains for many. However, with the incursion of more professional scammers who are Muslim or Christian, this is seen by the Cartels with amusement.

These rituals are like a child’s view of a religion. A mash-up of different things thrown together with no real sense – a blend of Sakawa, Christianity, and local shamanistic practices. They typically involve the killing of snakes, female body fluids, and lying in a coffin. Nudity and sex is also a part of the process.

A Note About Labeling!
We often use the term ‘scam victim’ in our articles, but this is a convenience to help those searching for information in search engines like Google. It is just a convenience and has no deeper meaning. If you have come through such an experience, YOU are a Survivor! It was not your fault. You are not alone! Axios!
A Question of Trust
At the SCARS Institute, we invite you to do your own research on the topics we speak about and publish, Our team investigates the subject being discussed, especially when it comes to understanding the scam victims-survivors experience. You can do Google searches but in many cases, you will have to wade through scientific papers and studies. However, remember that biases and perspectives matter and influence the outcome. Regardless, we encourage you to explore these topics as thoroughly as you can for your own awareness.
Statement About Victim Blaming
Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and to not blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and to help victims avoid scams in the future. At times this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims, we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.
These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.
Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org
