A young woman in Ghana’s bustling Circle market intended to purchase an iPhone X with Ghs 1,000 but ended up with a nicely packaged bar of soap instead.
This incident highlights the prevalence of scams and deceptive practices in the area, with many Ghanaians still unaware of such tricks.
The woman’s initial excitement at the prospect of owning the latest iPhone quickly turned to disappointment and frustration when she discovered the switch. It is a cautionary tale for others to remain vigilant and skeptical of deals that seem too good to be true.
The Circle market, known for its variety of goods and often crowded with shoppers, is a hotspot for such scams. Both locals and tourists are advised to be wary of deals offered by street vendors and to verify the authenticity of products before making a purchase.
