A man has been swindled of a huge sum of money after he was sold a fake phone in place of a real one by a confidence trickster in what is believed to be Circle.
The video sighted by YEN.com.gh showed two men engaging in a transaction outside what looked like an office building.
The man who appeared to be looking for a phone to buy had already inspected the device and placed it in his pocket.

The seller then was still trying to get a good price for the device and was looking for the buyer to pay something appreciable.
After getting the man to part with some money, the seller took the phone out of the pocket of the buyer to check something.
It then appeared like the buyer was changing his mind over the sale and tried convincing the buyer to pay more for the device.
As the buy reached into his bag to bring out some money, the seller quickly but expertly swapped the phones and replaced it with something else which looked just like the phone.
The seller then hurriedly gave the fake phone to the man buying it, took the money and quickly left the scene of the sale.
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Ghanaian nurse, Joana Afua Sitsofe Asamani, has caught attention on social media after photos and a video about her kind gesture to a mental patient popped up.
This is believed to have happened around Shia, in the Ho Municipality near the Togo border.
According to a number of reports sighted by YEN.com.gh, the young nurse is believed to have assisted a mentally-ill patient who only gave his name as Anokye.
