Kasapa News has gathered, the Mallam sent a friend request to the teacher on Facebook and upon acceptance of the request managed to flimflam her with pictures and videos that suggested he has conjured millions of Cedis in sack he wants to deliver to the teacher as a gift.

He convinced the teacher he could see she needed money for some pressing needs but asked her to send some monies to enable him perform some rituals before the money is released to her.

The teacher, bamboozled by images of the alleged conjured money meant for her,sent the monies to the Mallam .

Later, the mallam asked the teacher to come to Kumasi to take the money packed in a Sack which the teacher hurriedly obliged, however upon reaching Kumasi, the Mallam told the teacher on phone that,his Vehicle has developed fault hence should send another money through mobile money to hire taxi to bring the money to her at Kumasi which the teacher again did.

After receiving the money ,the mallam switched off his phone, changed his contact and blocked the teacher on Facebook.

The heartbroken teacher who spoke under condition of anonymity said ,total monies sent to the mallam accrued to GHC12,000.

According to her, she even borrowed monies from friends hoping to pay back after receiving the said money from the Mallam but little did she know it was a scam.
