A 20-year-old man, Frederick Doomson, has been arrested for allegedly defrauding a mobile money vendor of GHS40,000 at Assin Asaman in the Central Region.
According to the Assembly Member for the area, Gregory Gyakye, the suspect is believed to be part of a three-member syndicate that posed as fellow mobile money operators to carry out the fraud through phone calls.
Preliminary investigations indicate that Doomson convinced the victim to transfer the money into his mobile money account under false pretences.
Police have since frozen the suspect’s account to prevent further transactions.
Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to track down the two other suspects, who are currently on the run.
