Dubai-based Ghanaian lady duped of Ghc 30,000 by fake US Marine Engineer, who is actually a prisoner at Nsawam, after sharing nudes and fake marriage promise.
A Dubai-based Ghanaian lady, Sahadat, has been swindled by a fake US Marine Engineer she met on social media. After sharing her nudes during a video call, the scammer threatened to publicize them if she pursued him for her money. The ordeal began when Sahadat accepted his friend request on Facebook. The scammer expressed interest in marrying her, gaining her trust by sending money to her mother and introducing her to his supposed relatives.
The scammer later claimed he wanted to send items for their marriage ceremony to Ghana but needed money to clear the goods from the port. Sahadat sent Gh¢15,000 to a supposed clearing agent and borrowed more money to bribe immigration officers. Eventually, she realized she had been duped when the scammer blocked her and revealed his true identity as a prison inmate. Desperate to save her dignity, Sahadat sought help from the Crime Check Foundation .
