The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) is issuing a warning about a significant surge in job scams across Ghana, urging citizens to exercise caution.
The CSA has already recorded at least 15 reports through its cybercrime reporting channels, detailing victims who have collectively lost over GH₵124,000 to these scams.
The scammers employ tactics centered on masquerading as recruiters, reaching out with unsolicited messages that present enticing job opportunities.
These fraudulent offers often promise high salaries with minimal work requirements, a characteristic that should raise suspicions for individuals familiar with legitimate job markets.
In a statement, the CSA emphasized, “If it seems too good to be true, it’s likely a scam,” advising the public to stay vigilant and exercise skepticism when encountering such job propositions.
