LilWin narrates how he was defrauded of GH¢3,000 by lottery scammer

Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, has shared a regrettable incident where he was duped by individuals pretending to be lotto agents.

He recounted that during an airport advertisement shoot for Hisense, a supposed lotto agent connected him with another person, allegedly his superior.

LilWin disclosed that he was instructed to pay GH¢3,000 for lotto numbers. After payment, he was informed that the numbers they intended to give him were unavailable and was offered an alternative.

"I was in Accra for a Hisense advert. A man, posing as a commander, contacted my manager, claiming to seek me. On the phone, he directed me to a secluded area and spoke of 'leaked' lotto numbers he wanted me to bet on. He provided another contact for the lotto digits, which turned out to be him disguising his voice.

"The 'two sure' numbers were priced at GH¢3,000. I hurriedly withdrew the amount and handed it over. Later, he returned, claiming the 'two sure' numbers were gone, leaving only 'three sure' which would cost GH¢5,000," he detailed during an interview with Adom FM.

LilWin said he was not able to recover the full amount, as the scammer had already withdrawn part of it.

"That's when I realized I had been scammed. I rushed to the MTN office to reclaim the funds, but after banking procedures, I found out the scammer had already taken GH¢2,000..." he claimed.

He noted that he isn't the only victim; fellow actors like Akwasi Boadi (Akrobeto) and Vivian Jill have faced similar scams.
