Update on OsebowApp 🐆🇬🇭

A lot of you asked for a mobile app instead of just the website when I first posted here. I listened, and it’s almost ready.

We’re building it in React Native and it’ll launch on the Play Store first, then the App Store, by the end of the year. Same thing the web app does: check a number before you send money, see risk scores, report scammers, but built properly for your phone this time.

One thing the mobile app does that the web app doesn’t: after you search a number, you can unlock detailed intelligence right there. Screenshots of evidence, the actual reports people submitted, and you can even export the whole thing as a PDF. So if you need to show a family member, report to your bank, or just keep proof for yourself, it’s all there.

Before it goes public, I need real testers. Not just people who open it once and forget, but people who’ll actually use it for a few days, try checking numbers, reporting, the whole flow, and tell me honestly what’s broken or confusing.

If you’re on Android and want in:

→ Join the waitlist on the web app. Go to osebow.com, search any number, then tap “Unlock Detailed Intelligence” and fill your email and you’ll be added.

This app exists because of what happened to my mom, and it’s grown because of people like you sharing it, reporting numbers, and pushing me to build the mobile version. Appreciate every one of you who’s been part of this so far. 🐆🇬🇭

Be the line of defense against scammers - OsebowApp

You have probably received messages like this in the past. You did not fall for them because you were smart enough to see through their lies.

Others do not have the same privilege and fall for these scammers everyday. It could be your mom or dad and they won’t tell you because of shame.

Be the line of defense between the scammer and the naive. Don’t let the evidence sit on your phone when it could help save another person.

Report the number and upload the evidence to the OsebowApp on https://osebow.com/report .

If you are feeling lazy to, drop the screenshots here and I will have them all flagged.

Thank you

The Book — Check Before You Send: Inside Ghana’s MoMo Fraud Crisis From OsebowApp

8 weeks ago I posted here about a tool I built after my mom lost GHS 6,387 to a MoMo scammer. Today I launched a book.

First, thank you. The response to that post changed everything. The comments, the upvotes, the DMs, the numbers you shared. Every single one is now in the database protecting the next person. You built this with me.

Here is what has happened since:

OsebowApp:

•	1700+ scam reports with real evidence  
•	Verified business directory live — find real business numbers before you call  
•	Law enforcement video hit 10,000+ views with Ghanaians tagging CID, EOCO and Ghana Police directly  
•	The Cyber Security Authority confirmed GHS 266,195 lost to fake business profiles in just 4 months of 2026 — OsebowApp is the answer to that

The Book — Check Before You Send: Inside Ghana’s MoMo Fraud Crisis:

I spent months writing Ghana’s first fraud protection guide backed by real data. Not theory. Real scammer techniques. Real victim stories. Real OsebowApp database analytics. My own personal losses documented — including GHS 25,000 to a crypto scam in 2017.

What’s inside:

•	Every MoMo scam technique exposed with real screenshots  
•	How fake Google business profiles steal from you  
•	The Merit Travels scammer network fully documented  
•	30+ fake DStv numbers investigated  
•	Real deepfake arrests in Ghana — May 2026  
•	How to protect your parents and children  
•	The future of fraud in Ghana — AI, deepfakes, malware

Instant delivery. No account needed.

Everything free on OsebowApp stays free forever. The book funds the platform.

If this community helped build the database (it did), I would love for this community to be the first to read what that database revealed.

Check before you send. Always. 🇬🇭

Would love feedback from this community again especially on the business directory. What businesses do you want to see listed?

I built a free tool to check Ghana numbers before sending MoMo. Here’s why:

My mom lost GHS 6,387 to a MoMo scammer. The number had scammed multiple people before her but there was no central place to check or report it.

So I spent the last few months building OsebowApp, a community powered fraud database where Ghanaians can:
Check if a number has been reported for fraud
Report scammer numbers to warn others
Dispute a report if wrongly flagged
We just hit 1,000+ flagged numbers. 90% have real evidence attached (screenshots, descriptions, dates.)

It’s completely free. No account needed. Just search the number.
https://osebow.com

Still growing but already blocking real scams daily. Would love feedback from this community.
Happy to answer any questions 🇬🇭
