Fake Joy News video used to promote fraudulent mobile app in Ghana - Adomonline.com

A video signed on Facebook gives the impression that Joy News, The Multimedia Group’s news channel in Ghana, aired a news item highlighting a new mobile application from which some Ghanaians are making a lot of money. 

.

The 45-second video clip features TV presenter Benjamin Akakpo supposedly reading an introduction to the news story with the slug: “Ghanaians are getting rich fast with a new smartphone app.

The report begins with photos of young people who have supposedly become rich from using the new mobile app. 

.

In the first five seconds of the video, which shows Joy News journalist Benjamin Akakpo, there is no lip synchronisation which suggests the audio does not correspond with the video and is most likely a fabricated voice-over. 

Data from Meta’s ad library revealed that the page currently runs three other ads related to the same mobile application, supposedly making people rich. 

Following up with the mobile app being promoted on the Google App store, we found that the app being promoted was uploaded on March 2, 2023.

The supposed Joy News video news content highlighting a new mobile app earning users money is false
