Man scammed after offering lady lift
YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that a Ghanaian man recounted a supposed 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 allegedly 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.
