A driver identified as Mark Frimpong Kwakye has been accused of duping three United Kingdom-based Ghanaians of GH¢195,045.00.
According to the Chronicle report, the “suspect, was actually discovered by one of the complainants, Grace Acheampong, who, in 2018, saw an advert for a travel and tour holiday event on 'Kumasi – online TV Station,' on which the accused person was the host.
“The prosecutor said the suspect, in the course of the program, reportedly urged interested persons who wanted to Travel’ or tour any part of European to contact him on the following numbers: 0244957408, 0592313249, 055174570 and 0554935165.”
Grace Acheampong said she met the victim in the latter part of 2018 when she was in Ghana after reaching out to him while in Europe.

They are Grace Acheampong, Charles Owusu Adusei, Noah Kwabena Ofori all from UK, and Daniel Nuamoah, Cynthia Osei Bonsu and Kwame Gyamfi who all live in Ghana.
In 2020, the accused also told Grace Acheampong about an online TV business and collected an amount of US$5,000 from her to establish an online TV which also turned out to be a trick.
The accused also demanded and collected GHc22,000 from Kwame Gyamfi, GH¢5,000 from Daniel Nuamoah Fofie, GH¢4,500 from Ann Ama Armah, GH¢29,600 from Noah Kwabena Ofori and GH¢20,000, US$1,500 and 3,000 Euros from Charles Owusu Edusei.
