A Ghanaian man residing in Switzerland has shared what he went through after his uncle and brother duped him of huge sums of money in a video posted.
Mr Agyei in an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, recounted that he sent his uncle in Ghana $3000 to purchase land and a tipper truck to work with.
He continued that his uncle did not use the money for what was stated, but he misused the funds and sponsored his son to the UK instead
“My uncle informed me about a land and I sent him $3000 to buy the land. I also gave him my truck to work so the income can be used to build a house on the land. His son managed the business and used the proceeds to travel to the UK.”
After his uncle and cousin mismanaged the business, Mr Adu Agyei said he made his brother take over the business,he too also disappointed him. His brother used the money to finance his education.
“I got depressed. I was working as an accountant at the time and I earned 8,500 Swiss francs (GH¢109,000). I could just burst out laughing for no reason. I could not explain to my boss when anytime he asked why I was laughing. One day I quit the job.”
He cautioned Ghanaian’s living abroad to beware of dishonest people living in Ghana and ensure they trust the right people however, the video has received several reactions from the public.
