The suspects<\/strong><\/p>\n

FOUR men alleged to be the
\nmastermind behind a mobile money (MOMO) crime ring in the Ashanti Region that
\nswindles individuals of cash have been arrested in a police crackdown on
\ndigital scam.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Okyere, aka Abass
\nSalifu, 22; Prince Stephens, aka Sasamula, 20; Akwasi Gyebi, 22, electrician;
\nand Kelvin Agyemang aka Hawk, 18; were smoked out from their hideout at
\nDeyansi, a farming community in the Adansi-Asokwa District on June 27, 2019.<\/p>\n

The Fomena District Police
\nCommand arrested the scam operators upon an intelligence-led operation
\nfollowing months of surveillance and tracking.<\/p>\n

Supt Albert Fii Ochil said
\n16 assorted mobile phones were found on the gangsters who run a criminal
\nnetwork that scam people with mobile money accounts after generating about 100
\nmobile phone numbers in an elaborate scheme.<\/p>\n

According to him, once the
\nscammers had the names and phone numbers of people, they sent fake mobile money
\nmessages to con victims into paying monies.<\/p>\n

The police chief stated
\nthat all the four men had since been remanded in police custody by the Fomena
\nDistrict Court where they are facing provisional charges relating to conspiracy
\nand obtaining money under false pretences.<\/p>\n

Supt. Ochil said the gang had Kelvin Agyemang as the secretary of the network, who writes downs names of their potential victims having obtained their contact details. <\/p>\n
