According to her, the scam occurred while she was on her way to a shoot in Dodowa. Ahuofe Patri said she spotted a new Papapye branch and decided to order from there later since she had not eaten the popular food in a while.
Instead of driving back to the branch, she searched online for the restaurant’s contact information and found a number on Google.
Unfortunately, the number was fake, and it belonged to fraudsters pretending to represent the fast food joint.
She said that after she placed her order, they asked her to make an upfront payment, which she did. Later, they demanded more information, including an OTP code sent to her phone.
She mentioned that she grew suspicious but sent the code anyway. According to her, the scammers continued asking questions, which made her uncomfortable. She said she stopped engaging with them but soon received notifications to approve large sums of money from her mobile wallet.
She noted that she declined the prompts, and her mobile money provider eventually blocked her SIM after detecting multiple unauthorised attempts to access her account.
In the comments section of her video, many Ghanaians shared similar experiences, disclosing how they had fallen victim to online scams.
