    How come with this act? don't the banks make identification verification?

    There should be verification but in Ghana everything is possible. No verification, no certificate. There are all sorts of crooks in this country.

    Who told you he is an Ewe dude ..you Ashante fool

  • Concern Citizen 8 years ago

    It can't be possible if someone in the Bank is not involved. Because surely there's always identification when collecting transferred money from any Bank. So the accomplice is a Bank worker not anybody from outside.

  • Nana Kwasi USA 8 years ago

    There must be identification of the person receiving plus the reference number. Bankers must wake-up to stop this. It is only in Ghana that this can be. Mother Ghana when?

    The banker who gives out money without the ID is part of the gang and should be arrested.The pin alone doesn't give u the money.The thieves are everywhere in Ghana.
