Stop Creating Platforms For Lotto Fraudsters...Ghana Police Service Warns Media Houses.

The Ashanti regional police command has cautioned Media Houses across the country to stop creating platforms for lotto fraudsters to advertise fake numbers to the unsuspecting public.

The Ashanti regional police command gave the warning at a News conference in Kumasi following the arrest of five suspected lotto fraudsters who advertise their numbers on radio and television to dupe people who patronise their service for quick money.

People who reach out to them for the numbers are therefore directed to send money through mobile money for the lotto numbers which ends up to be a scam.

The suspects later destroy their sim cards as soon as the victims send them the money after to avoid trace.
