The prophet shared his views during a sit-down interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM on July 16, 2026, where he weighed in on the growing crackdown on West African cybercrime suspects.

"America is wild now. They have taken a lot from people, and it's their time," he said, referring to the intensifying pursuit of fraud suspects operating across the African continent.

According to Prophet Telvin, the vulnerability of African scammers comes down to a lack of technical sophistication.

He argued that fraudsters on the continent operate with relatively basic methods, describing them as "cheap fraud," which makes them far simpler for investigators to track and identify.

He contrasted this with criminals operating in places such as the United States, Italy, and other Western nations, who, in his view, deploy high-level technology that frequently causes investigative trails to go cold.

African fraudsters, he suggested, leave behind the kind of digital footprints that foreign law enforcement agencies can follow with relative ease.

Prophet Telvin's warning to Ghana's youth

Beyond his predictions, Prophet Telvin used the platform to speak directly to young Ghanaians.

He urged them to step away from fraudulent activity entirely, framing an honest life as a simpler and far less dangerous one.

His message was clear: the era of easy escapes is closing, and those still involved in internet fraud face a significantly heightened risk of arrest and extradition.
