Upon confirming his identity, the caller informed him that he needed to pay GH¢700 for the package, which he did.

A few minutes later, the caller asked him to pay another GH¢1,500 for customs and he paid that as well.

They subsequently demanded money, which he paid but never received the package.

He later tried to reach out to the lady to complain about the process but to no avail.

According to him, the lady has seized communication with him and has made her Facebook account private.
