Ghanaians have been cautioned against falling in love easily with people they meet online, as many of them may be scammers.
The President of the Immigration Ladies Association (IMMILA), Chief Superintendent of Immigration Nana Nyarkoa, has urged the youth to be vigilant and avoid trusting people they only know through the internet.
“Scammers work hard to trick you into thinking the relationship is real, then manipulate you to get your money. They can spend years building your trust,” she warned.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Immigration Ladies Association at the Immigration Training School in Assin Fosu, she explained that scammers often use social media, dating sites, gaming apps, and websites to target individuals looking for love and friendship.
“They create fake profiles, sometimes pretending to be famous people. They might also call or message frequently to make you feel special. This tactic is known as ‘love bombing’, and Ghanaians must be on the lookout for it,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner of Immigration (DCOI), Alex Adu, who served as the guest speaker at the event, charged members of the Immigration Ladies Association to work hard to enhance the image of the service.
