Why Lobbying and Court Action Matter
Gold scams are rampant across Africa — from Ghana and Sierra Leone to Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa. Fraudsters often hide behind fake companies, forged licences, or corrupt intermediaries. International victims find that their complaints go unanswered, or are shuttled between agencies.
The solution? A dual approach:
-
Lobby and engage the right regulators and enforcement departments to ensure the case is taken seriously.
-
File in court — civil or criminal — to protect your rights and pursue recovery.
