The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has arrested a popular Snapchat queen Whitney Adams aka Girl Boss, and her mother Flavia Annan, for aiding scammers in Ghana to fraud their victims abroad.
Whitney Adams is known specifically on Snapchat for her lavish lifestyle which includes frequenting Dubai for luxurious vacations at 5-star locations.
According to U.S court documents with case number 1:22-mj-01123, Whitney who lives between Ghana and America has helped Ghanaian fraudsters to scam people. From a series of fraudulent activities online, they have made over $6 million from their operations.
They have accumulated these huge sums of money by controlling bank accounts where the victims deposited cash or cheques, which they then transfer to other accounts.
“From a time unknown, but by at least July 2018, and through April 7, 2022, in the District of Arizona, and elsewhere, FLAVIA ANNANG, WHITNEY ADAMS, and their co-conspirators conducted a romance/inheritance scam,” the FBI revealed in court documents.
“Unknown co-conspirators created phony online dating profiles and personas to engage in online chats, text messaging, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, and otherwise with unwitting Victims located in the United States in efforts to convince those Victims they were involved in an online romantic relationship with a real person,” the FBI continued.
