Law enforcement in Ghana has taken action against a network of individuals allegedly orchestrating sophisticated cyber-crime operations. Those apprehended were identified as Nigerian nationals operating coordinated schemes targeting digital platforms. The bust underscores growing international collaboration in combating cybercriminal networks that increasingly leverage blockchain technology and decentralized systems. Such enforcement efforts highlight the ongoing risks within the Web3 ecosystem and the importance of security awareness for users engaging with cryptocurrency platforms and digital assets.

Here comes the crackdown on scammers again, this time cross-border law enforcement is finally reliable. But to be honest, if these people were really that capable, why not go do legitimate on-chain products? Web3 security definitely needs to be taken seriously; don’t wait until you get rug pulled to regret it. The scam groups in Nigeria are really becoming more professional; we need to be more vigilant. This is why I never touch unknown contracts, no matter how high the APY. Cross-border cooperation in catching people, is that progress? Hopefully it can deter those trying to make a living through scams. Using on-chain technology to do bad things, it can only be said that the technology itself is fine, people are just too greedy.

Here come the scammers again, this time Nigerian kids causing trouble in Ghana Nigeria is becoming famous again, Web3 is just afraid of this kind of coordinated scam, hard to guard against Law enforcement finally took serious action, otherwise our group of retail investors would be worried every day International cooperation to crack down is the right way, no single country can hold back this group of online blackhanders Reliable platforms' security audits must now be prioritized, we can't let things slide anymore Stay alert everyone, scam gangs won't negotiate with you, they'll just sweep you away in one wave This will once again damage Web3's reputation, how scared would ordinary people be when they hear this news When will Nigeria properly manage its own people? It's so embarrassing

Damn, it's another Nigerian scam gang... These people really treat Web3 as an ATM That's why I always advise friends not to click on random links and be careful of wallet theft By the way, the efficiency of international cooperation in catching these scammers is pretty quick, much more reliable than I expected In the end, it still depends on traditional law enforcement to handle it; on-chain transparency is useless Fortunately, I’ve already developed the habit of not even touching unfamiliar contracts Now those naive investors who jumped in will have to be more cautious.

Caught another scammer, this time it's a Nigerian kid, haha Web3 still has too many pitfalls, really need to be more cautious Law enforcement finally took action, feels good That's why I never click on unfamiliar links... Those who manipulate on-chain scams should be caught After all the effort, it's still the same old traditional scam, just with a different blockchain shell It seems someone needs to keep an eye on these platforms Black eating black, in the end, they get caught, serves them right Ghost chains should have been regulated long ago The trust crisis in Web3 is becoming more and more serious
