Ghana cautions citizens over fraudulent jobs luring them to Zambia for cybercrime

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has observed with concern the emerging trend of Ghanaians being lured to Zambia through fraudulent employment opportunities and subsequently being subjected to coercive conditions and forced involvement in cybercrime activities,” the advisory stated.

In a travel advisory dated October 5, the Ministry said it had observed an emerging trend in which Ghanaians are lured to Zambia with seemingly legitimate job offers before being subjected to coercive conditions and forced to participate in cybercrime activities.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians against fraudulent employment opportunities in Zambia following the arrest of six Ghanaian nationals in Lusaka in connection with an alleged organised cybercrime operation.
