The Ghana Shippers' Authority (GSA) has cautioned the public and stakeholders about a fraudulent letter currently in circulation attempting to solicit funds from unsuspecting individuals under the guise of clearance charges for shipped items.
The letter allegedly targeted a recipient named Mr Sadick Mensah, claiming that items shipped from the United States to Ghana necessitated payment of Ghc50,000.00 for clearance. The letter further urged an expedited deposit ahead of the specified delivery date of 07/11/2023.
The Authority encourages anyone approached with a similar letter or related solicitations to immediately report the incident to the authorities. If contacted by the sender or a suspicious number in a fake letter, individuals are encouraged to contact the police via phone at 0244236266 / 18555 / 191 or through WhatsApp at 0206639121.
The GSA advised shippers to demand receipts for every payment and cautions against engaging with such dubious requests.
