Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira East, Hon. Lawyer Emelia Ankomah, has issued a strong public disclaimer warning Ghanaians against falling victim to fraudulent social media accounts impersonating her for recruitment scams.

In an official notice, the MP revealed that her name and photos are being used without her consent by unidentified individuals to promote fake recruitment schemes.

“It has come to my attention that fake accounts are using my name and my pictures for recruitment without my consent,” Hon. Emelia Ankomah stated.

She emphasized that no official transactions or job offers are conducted via her social media platforms, and urged the public not to send money or engage with any unsolicited messages or "Messenger" requests claiming to be from her.

“Please DO NOT send money! Any other accounts or ‘Messenger’ requests are fake and should be disregarded,” she added.

The MP further reminded constituents and the general public that all official communication or support should be verified through appropriate and recognized channels.

Her warning comes amid a growing trend of online impersonation targeting high-profile individuals across the country. Authorities have been urged to intensify efforts to track and prosecute those behind such cyber fraud.
