The Member of Parliament (MP) for Klottey-Kor­le, Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Raw­lings, has called for urgent and multi-dimensional measures to address the alarm­ing rise in cybercrime across the country.

The MP in a statement she made on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, highlighted the growing menace of online fraud and its devastating impact on individuals and society.

Dr Agyeman-Rawlings lament­ed encountering cybercriminals, who have created numerous fake accounts impersonating her on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp.

She said despite having verified the accounts, the fraudulent activities persisted, affecting her and others, and causing severe financial and reputational harm to unsuspecting victims.
