He asked Horic to confirm if he had received a message blocking his mobile money wallet.

"I just received a message that they have blocked it, but I have not received any money," Horic said.

The scammer responded and explained his cooked-up story to Horic.

"The person who wrongly sent you the money called, so we reversed the money, which is why we blocked your wallet."

Even before the scammer could finish telling the fake story, Horic interjected and promised to send them some money.

Horic indicated that he understood that the economy was not favourable for many hence their scamming nature. He pleaded with them to stop scaamming elderly people.

"I know the system is not favourable these days. So, don't worry, I will send you GH₵100, so you can share it with your partner. I understand you, I won't judge you. I'm only begging you to stop scamming the elderly."

The scammer immediately asked to mention his number to Horic and thanked him.
