A man has been arrested in Akyem Oda in connection with an alleged Mobile Money fraud involving an unauthorised GH¢3,000 transaction from a victim’s account.
The suspect, identified as Jessie Samuel, allegedly obtained the victim’s Mobile Money PIN after asking him to purchase airtime on his behalf.
He reportedly claims to work with telecommunications company Telecel.
During interrogation, Samuel disclosed that he owed a debt on an MTN Qwickloan facility.
He said he transferred the GH¢3,000 into his own account with the intention of settling the outstanding loan so he could qualify for another one, promising to later refund the money to the victim’s account.
Samuel has reportedly admitted to being part of a wider network of individuals engaged in Mobile Money fraud across the country.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
