The Police on Wednesday warned prospective visa applicants to beware of con men posing as travel agents who promise to obtain cut-rate visas for them.
In a release from the Regional Police Headquarters, Inspector Jordan Quaye of the Public Relations Unit said criminals are issuing fake or stolen passports with visa stamps already in them.
Travelling with another person’s passport is a criminal offence, Inspector Quaye said, and advised people to report fake travel agents to the police.
The police spokesman said the proper place to obtain a visa is the visa section of the embassy of the country where the applicant intends to travel.
