Musician, Kweku Flick said he was scammed
Ghanaian musician, Kweku Flick, has shared a surprising story of how he outsmarted a swindler during his teenage years.
During an interview on the Okukuseku Talk Show with Emelia Brobbery, the “Money” hitmaker recounted how he fell victim to a phone scam in Kumasi.
The incident occurred when he was in Junior High School (JHS) 3.
He said had gone to the Adum PZ area in Kumasi for the first time to buy footwear, when he was approached by a stranger who offered to sell him a phone at a bargain price.
“Someone approached me and tried selling a phone to me; he said he was in a hurry so I should quickly buy it. So, I swapped my phone along with some of my school fees, which I had on me,” he recounted.
However, upon opening the package, he said he discovered he had been duped.
“By the time I finally opened the package, it was floor tiles that had been glued together that I was holding,” he added.
Hurt and angry, Flick said he decided to seek revenge.
He returned to Adum PZ in search of the same scammer or another one.
“I spotted another guy doing the same thing. He approached me and told me the same story but this time, I was prepared, so I expressed interest in buying the phone and asked him to tell me the PIN to the phone so I could unlock it and go through it.
“He did and while I was going through the phone, I spotted an older man coming and quickly ran to him, crying that the seller of the phone was a thief and he wanted to steal my phone,” he added.
When the older man intervened and asked Flick to unlock the phone to prove ownership, he did so.
“I did and the man held the seller back while I ran. They chased me from Adum PZ to the Kumasi Cultural Centre, where I managed to evade them,” he said.
