Job scams surge, over GH₵124,000 lost – Cyber Security Authority reveals



The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has issued a warning regarding a significant increase in job scams throughout Ghana, emphasizing the importance of maintaining awareness and caution among citizens.


In recent times, the CSA has documented a notable surge in fraudulent activities, having received a minimum of 15 reports via its cybercrime reporting channels. These reports have revealed that victims have collectively suffered losses exceeding GH₵124,000.


The perpetrators of these scams typically masquerade as recruiters, initiating unsolicited communication with individuals and presenting enticing job opportunities. These fraudulent offers often tout substantial remuneration and minimal professional obligations, characteristics that should raise suspicion among those familiar with authentic employment markets.


In response to these concerning developments, the CSA has advised, "If it seems too good to be true, it’s likely a scam," underscoring the necessity for individuals to exercise prudence and skepticism when encountering such propositions.


The CSA's alert serves as a critical reminder for the public to remain vigilant and discerning in their interactions with purported employment opportunities, thereby safeguarding themselves against falling victim to fraudulent schemes.
