Even though there are those doing their genuine businesses there, others court negative accolades for the place through their fraudulent activities.
In a video on X, a gentleman narrated how a young man who came to PZ to buy a phone outsmarted some fraudster.
According to the man, the PZ fraudsters had agreed to sell an iPhone 17 for just GH¢800 to the young man. The potential buyer took the phone and examined it.
He gave the money to them and decided to leave. However, the fraudsters who were selling asked him to give them back the phone so they could wrap it for him, but the young man refused.
The fraudsters wanted to harass the young man so they could take the phone, but the market women rescued him and called for the police.
They hid the young man till the police arrived and took him away. The police left with the young man, who was holding the iPhone 17 he had bought for GH¢800.

Two caught after selling tiles as phones
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported on two individuals were allegedly caught selling tiles disguised as mobile phones.
According to details from the video, the suspects approached the young man with what appeared to be a brand-new phone.
Believing it was within his budget and in good condition, the buyer willingly paid for it. Unbeknownst to him, the 'phone' handed over after payment had been swapped for a neatly packed tile cut to size, boxed, and weighted to resemble a real mobile device.
Once the suspects received the money, they quickly fled, leaving the buyer unaware of the trick until much later. Some viewers noted that the videographer, which seemed familiar with the suspects’ activities, recorded the entire exchange without stepping in to caution the buyer to alert authorities.
