The man, who introduces himself as Yaytseslav from Russia, often moves around the Accra Mall area, gets acquainted with shoppers and other passersby, and records their conversations to share online.
In many instances, he convinces the ladies to exchange their phone numbers with him and even gets them to visit his residence later, all of which he records to put online.
News of his activities was first shared by Gossip 24 TV's Clement Nana Asamoah, who indicated that the supposed Russian was sharing his videos in two main parts.
First, he reportedly shares a summary of each encounter on his Telegram, while other private videos are shared in a private channel at a fee.
According to him, there is no information as to whether the women involved were aware of the videos being shared or not.
See the Facebook post below:
Further checks by YEN.com.gh indicate that the Russian man also operates a TikTok and YouTube account.
On these accounts, there are many videos summarising his moments with some of the supposed victims.
In all, there are about 40 such videos involving Ghanaian women.

While videos on TikTok and YouTube are free to watch, access to his videos in his private Telegram channel is by subscription, which, YEN.com.gh gathers, is pegged at around five dollars per month.
In one instance, a lady he met while shopping at the mall followed him home and was spotted in a big towel, apparently after freshening up.
Interestingly, his TikTok also features videos with ladies from other countries, like Kenya.
Yaytseslav's recordings possibly breach Ghanaian law
It is not known how he records his videos, but from the look of things, Yaytseslav likely used a body camera, which the ladies may not have been aware of.
If so, his conduct would likely violate multiple Ghanaian laws, including section 67 of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038), which states:
"A person shall not, with intent to cause serious emotional distress, intentionally distribute or intentionally cause another person to distribute the int*mate image or prohibited visual recording of another identifiable person without the consent of the person depicted."
Reactions to Russian man Yaytseslav's Ghana videos
The videos of Yaytseslav have sparked outrage online.
While many condemned his behaviour, others criticised the ladies for being casual about their lives.
Some also saw the videos as mere content creation.
YEN.com.gh compiled some reactions below.
Tomy Anum Martey said:
"Watching those videos, you could tell that these women were very much aware of the cameras, and they knew what they were doing. Some of the scenes are scripted."
Nana Onyameba Yeboah said:
"This is shameful....decent girls on the street. So naive to the extent that someone says, come with me to see my place, and immediately, they jump into the car, unfortunately, they may wait as much as 5 minutes waiting for bolt, yet they can't raise any meaningful conversation or ask questions....follow me, and the next thing he is doing them......eeeish. This is so cold."
Pap Skiro said:
"Ebi, these same girls wey dey claim for our top when we call them?? Ah chale, The Esther and the supermarket girl dey funny me pass eeii."
Godwill DemiGod said:
"Inferiority complex. Smh. If it were to be their fellow Ghana boy, they will stress them saaa .. share the link err chale."
