He explained that one day, a young man came by and showed interest in purchasing the bus.
“My sister bought a Sprinter bus from Germany. She said she was going to sell it, so she put it in front of her house. A young man came by and said his uncle wanted to buy the bus for him. He took pictures and videos, saying he was going to show them to his uncle.”
The young man later came with an elderly man, whom the bus seller believed was his uncle from previous conversations.
“The next morning, the young man came to my sister's house to wait for his purported uncle, who was to buy the bus. The man came, and they inspected the car. They even asked my sister to start it so they could assess the engine. The young man told my sister they were going to the bank.”
After a few hours, the elderly man returned and began removing the “for sale” sign from the bus. When questioned, he said he had paid the young man.
“Apparently, after taking pictures of the car, the young man listed it on Tonaton and priced it at GHC 80,000.”
Unhappy with the situation, the elderly man went to the police station and accused the narrator's sister of conniving to scam him.
According to the narrator, the matter has now ended up in court. He added that he is sharing his sister's story so others can learn from it and be vigilant in their businesses.

Man scammed after offering lady lift
YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that a Ghanaian man recounted an unfortunate incident in which he offered a woman a lift from Amasaman to Pokuase, only for the trip to turn out to be an extortion scheme.
Upon reaching her destination, the ungrateful woman refused to leave the car and falsely accused him of hiring her for the night.
Several men who saw the commotion eventually pressured the man to settle the payment, leading him to transfer GH₵700 out of fear.
