An 80-year-old woman in Accra has reported being defrauded of GHS 30,000. The incident occurred after she invested in a fake investment scheme.
The fraudsters promised high returns on her investment. However, the scheme was not real and she lost all her money.
The Ghana Police Service is investigating the incident. They are urging the public to be cautious about investment opportunities presented to them.
