The Immigration Ladies Association (IMMILAC) has issued a caution to Ghanaians to exercise vigilance when engaging in online relationships, as scammers frequently pose as potential partners to exploit unsuspecting individuals.
Chief Superintendent of Immigration Nana Nyarkoa, IMMILAC President noted that these scammers typically invest considerable time in establishing trust with their victims, manipulating them into sending money.
She explained that the fraudsters often utilize social media, dating sites, and gaming applications to target individuals seeking love and friendship, frequently creating fake profiles and impersonating notable personalities.
She has therefore underscored the need for the Ghanaian public to remain vigilant, particularly when strangers invest excessive attention, a tactic referred to as ‘love bombing.’
This warning was issued during IMMILAC’s inaugural ceremony at the Immigration Training School in Assin Fosu.
The primary objective of the Immigration Ladies Association (IMMILAC) is to empower and support female officers within the Ghana Immigration Service by promoting professionalism, unity, and welfare.
The association also seeks to enhance the leadership and development of its members while engaging in public education and outreach on national issues such as security and online safety.
Deputy Commissioner of Immigration (DCOI) Alex Adu, the guest speaker at the event, commended IMMILAC’s formation and encouraged its members to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, emphasizing that the association should serve as a catalyst for excellence within the Ghana Immigration Service.
