It's about time something is being done to catch these thieves and thugs. I have been a victim of this fraud many times. Corruption and fraud is a way of life or Ghanaians. Corruption comes from the very top and nothing is being done because of that. What fool would want to do business in Ghana.

How could this be possible. Can someone takes the time to explain? If this guy copies from an unsuspecting victim does he has an ID of this person to cash it. Or is someone telling me in Ghana, you can cash money without showing a valid ID? I don't get it.

Is there an accomplice at the banks where they ultimately cash the money?A particular teller might be involved.What happens to the victims money? The banks where the transactions are completed should be liable.

DO they simply have to give a pin code without a photo ID? There is more to it than beats the mind.

I sent money in July 2015 to my wife in Weija, Accra. When my wife went to a bank at Weija, the teller in charge took the PIN and told my wife the computer system was done so she should go and cash it somewhere else. My wife went to another bank at Malam-Junction where it was detected that that the amount has been withdrawn. My wife immediately went back to the bank at Weija to confront the teller. He then said he withdrew the money to keep it for my wife. It means, the teller at the bank at Weija withdrew the money without my wife`s ID. His boss (who is a woman and I have her name because I spoke to her on telephone that day) tried to defend him. After I further probed and insisted through further questioning, the woman boss then asked her subordinate (the teller) how he was able to withdraw the money without my wife`s ID. The boss then instructed the teller to make a copy of my wife`s ID. It means, there must be an employee of the bank involved. The police should go and question the bank. The practice needs to be investigated and the culprit jailed.

There should be verification but in Ghana everything is possible. No verification, no certificate. There are all sorts of crooks in this country.

It can't be possible if someone in the Bank is not involved. Because surely there's always identification when collecting transferred money from any Bank. So the accomplice is a Bank worker not anybody from outside.

There are a whole lot of clearing agents around the airport. I had a chat with one of them and he was plain. "Master there are no jobs and we have to survive" So they lobby around, try to do something to earn a living. Some may argue "They should go back to the village or hometown" but it's not as easy as we see it. People are desperate, they can't find jobs and all these contribute in someway to these type of crimes. Thieves will remain thieves however, even if jobs can be found everywhere but putting bullets in the head of someone with such crime is just not on. We shouldn't take decisions by heart but with thinking heads.

There must be identification of the person receiving plus the reference number. Bankers must wake-up to stop this. It is only in Ghana that this can be. Mother Ghana when?
