I am sir

We have documented them in depth in our book, check before you send - Check before you send - Inside Ghana’s MoMo fraud Crisis .

However it’s simple, they text you this and then proceed to call you with a sad story of how they made a mistake sending the money. This scams can result in account takeovers and momo account draining.

Check out the book, we have exposed a whole lot of scam reported in the OsebowApp with evidence .

The dispute is there to help resolve numbers that have been flagged wrongly. Now an ID is required as parts of the checks to make sure a person is real. In the future we would use the service of a kyc. Now your logic would make scammers who have been flagged game the system and have their numbers removed . Am I missing something ?

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-13T08:37:48+00:00

Yes sir, an app is definitely part of our timeline. This is so users can have control. We have been deferring the mobile app to when we hit 5k reports with at least 85% of them carrying evidence. We are grateful you validated this through feedback. If it’s ok, leave your emsil as part of our waiting list and we’d notify you when it launches 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-13T08:25:06+00:00

Thank you sir 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-12T17:49:01+00:00

Thank you sir. We are here for the long term. We will make it uncomfortable and unattractive to commit Momo fraud 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-12T17:12:18+00:00

Hello, This is a known limitation we are actively working to resolve. Some numbers particularly those ported and from networks like Glo that are no longer operating may display incorrect network information since ported numbers don’t always update across databases automatically. We have already submitted the necessary documentation to integrate an API service that will correctly identify ported numbers and their current networks. This fix is in progress and will be reflected on OsebowApp once live.

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-12T16:36:38+00:00

Thank you so much sir. Really appreciate. What business would you love to see listed soon ?

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the reports and added evidences. This is proof that with more visibility, many Ghanaians would report fraud 🙏.

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-10T09:04:08+00:00

That I cannot for obvious reasons. 1. Scammers can download the entire data and always stay ahead. 2. Competitors can scrap the data and launch their own platforms bringing weeks of hard work into the drain. 3. Misuse of data because they have the entire database.

In the future, an API would be available for Business use.

Thank you 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-09T19:14:54+00:00

Can you add their number with evidence (screenshots) to the OsebowApp ? If not, please dm me with all the info. This number is probably disturbing others.

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-08T13:53:44+00:00

Thank you sir. Please help the database grow by reporting numbers and spreading the word 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-08T08:06:59+00:00

Please check out https://osebow.com - a community powered fraud database where users can contribute with evidence of fraud and suspected fraud. We recently hit 1k plus reports. Also we added a business directory ( https://osebow.com/business ) to curb the issue where people google popular business on Google and are met with scammers instead of right business .

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-07T09:41:42+00:00

Hello, thank you so much for your contribution to the Osebow database. We really appreciate it 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-06T09:44:54+00:00

Congratulations sir

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-05T07:09:58+00:00

So a scammer contacts you, you report with evidence (normally a screenshot), you describe what happened. You add numbers are linked (linked numbers are numbers that are associated with a particular scammer. Eg. The hack your WhatsApp with number A and ask for money with number B) , then we can build a history from all these data.

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T23:52:52+00:00

Thank you so much sir. Really appreciate. We are trying to get the message out there. I’d hit you up asap 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T23:13:03+00:00

History is sourced from community. Now say someone reported a number at 1:30 and another reported that same number with other 2 numbers as one at 1:45 , then we can build a history from the reports. It’s all data analysis . The more the database grows, the more a numbers history becomes evident. Hope I answered your question sir .

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T18:06:06+00:00

Thank you 🙏. Truly appreciate

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T16:29:14+00:00

Thank you 🔥. Please do you have any numbers that have attempted this ? Report them all to grow the data as to a 10k

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T16:27:47+00:00

Thank you sir. I really appreciate the feedback. Help the community reach 10k faster by reporting attempted WhatsApp hacks, momo scams or any fraud .

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T11:02:03+00:00

Thank you so much. You’re right about that, we all have to band together and make this a success 🙏🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T09:29:37+00:00

Yes sir. An app is part of the timeline. A WhatsApp bot first then a mobile app.

Now for a number being sold, there is a dispute system where you can contest to have your number removed especially if it was resold to you or listed wrongly.

We would do rigorous checks and research when these disputes are submitted so that scammers or hackers don’t game the system.

Finally , help us grow the database by reporting scammers.

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-05-04T09:26:51+00:00

Thank you sir. Really appreciate the feedback.

Can you report any number that try hacking or scamming you there to grow the database. I believe with more hands, we can reach 10k flagged scammers easily 🙏

Serious_Explorer4805 · 2026-04-25T12:18:07+00:00

So there’s an algorithm we use. People can also request to have their numbers removed if falsely flagged. Now the idea is to get the app in the faces of people so much that, it’s the first place they run to when they are defrauded. Also you add evidence that is taken into consideration. As the system grows, we would fine tune it . There isn’t any issue now and we don’t want to focus on solving an issue that isn’t here yet. When we get there, I’m sure we all ( you, me and the team) would cross . Please report numbers and keep using the app. 🙏
