A young Ghanaian man used his internet abilities to apprehend a Ghs15k iPhone scammer, shocking the criminals in the process.

Numerous smart young people of Ghanaian heritage are making use of their Technological abilities for the sake of society.

In a tweet spotted by GhanaEducation.org, a Ghanaian detailed how he utilized his computer expertise to track a Ghs15k iPhone Scammer and gave the Ghana police accurate information that resulted in the scammer’s arrest.

The man had a distress call and many WhatsApp messages from his friend who reported the fraudulent occurrence to him, according to the facts acquired on this heroic deed.

By using the scammer’s phone number, he was able to locate them and learn their precise location as well as the social media platforms they use.

How did he do it?

1. His acquaintance, who also sells iPhones, told me that he was conned out of Ghs15,000 by a stranger. The victim sent him the buyer’s phone numbers, who had vanished into thin air.
2. He claimed that he immediately started an inquiry using his cyber talents. A cyber-related word called “osint” stands for open source intelligence. In order to research a subject or piece of information, one uses the readily accessible material on the internet. After some time, I was able to locate the con artist using the phone numbers.
3. He added that in order to help, he quickly conducted a thorough search across all social media platforms. Through his searches, he was able to locate the scammer’s personal Facebook page and other information that would help him be apprehended.
4. After obtaining the suspect’s social media accounts, he used tools like metadata to pinpoint the specific places the suspect frequents in order to find out where he was! As it turned out, he had the information required and had provided it to his con artist friend so that they could file a police report and have the con artist imprisoned.
5. The Ghana Police carried out their job and picked up the suspect from his home using the information provided. The suspect was stunned by the arrest because he had no idea he would be taken into custody or that his home would be located. Using his Facebook page, Vinsaint Victor Assian, the suspect, was recognized.
