Judge recounts attempted MoMo scam after jailing scammer

However, he said a closer check showed the message was fake, and the judge recognised the approach as a common MoMo fraud tactic.

The Assin Fosu District Court Judge, Abdul Majid Iliasu, has revealed that suspected mobile-money (MoMo) fraudsters tried to scam him moments after he had sentenced someone for a similar offence.

The judge mentioned the incident while presiding over a kidnapping case involving four suspects accused of abducting 30-year-old Bismark Amoh, who was reportedly held in Kumasi from Sunday, September 6, to Friday, September 11, for an alleged MoMo fraud.
