The alleged swindlers have bolted with monies ranging between Four Thousand (4,000,00) to Six thousand (6,000.00) Ghana cedis, which are monies contributed by the members for four (4) years.
The investors who are mostly market women told this paper that they joined the association after they were promised good returns on their investments. They said they paid an initial amount of GH10 as registration fee, plus monthly dues of GH8 which will qualify them to become members of the association after a 3 month period.
They are also required to pay GH50 every two weeks and since they joined the association in the year 2014, they have religiously paid GH50 for the past four years but have had their monies locked up after they were promised an investment package of Ten thousand Ghana Cedis (10,000.00) plus other household items like cooking utensils, fridges, gas cookers etc.
According to the victims many of the meeting places of the group at Accra Central and Achimota had collapsed after the officials succeeded in collecting various sums of monies from them.

The disgruntled investors who broke into tears while recounting their ordeal said life has been unbearable and are therefore appealing to the president and the inspector general of police to step in and aid in recovering their investment.
