The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has conducted a major operation against a suspected scam operation in Ghana, according to an announcement on Thursday, October 8, 2026. Over 130 individuals were arrested or detained, and more than 300 electronic devices have been seized, as part of 'Operation Blackout'. The initiative, a global scam centre demolition campaign, has so far resulted in nearly $10 million in identified losses and 89 victims.
Some of those arrested are victims who were trafficked into the scam operation and will be repatriated to their home countries. FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the operation's impact in a post on X, stating that 'Operation Blackout' has led to roughly $17 billion in assets seized and hundreds of alleged scammers arrested globally.
The investigation remains ongoing, with details withheld regarding the exact location of the raid in Ghana, the identities of those arrested, and the involvement of Ghanaian agencies.
