Be warned about an active impersonation scam using the name **"Abiola Bawuah"**—a real Ghanaian banking executive—to target people via email.

**What we're seeing:**
- Emails sent from unrelated free addresses (e.g., **zerahiwr@gmail.com**)—**not** from any official bank domain.
- Messages claiming "confidential," "urgent," or "inheritance/fund" matters.
- Sender IPs traced to **dynamic mobile networks** (e.g., 154.160.17.68, associated with MTN Ghana subscribers)—not corporate banking infrastructure.
- The real Abiola Bawuah (former CEO of UBA Africa) would **never** contact strangers from a personal Gmail account.

**Why this matters:**
This scam has been reported for years, and fraudsters reuse the same name and script. If you've dealt with a similar "Abiola" before, stay alert—this is likely the same playbook.

**✅ What to do:**
1. **Do NOT reply**—replying confirms your address is active.
2. **Do NOT click links or open attachments.**
3. **Do NOT send money or personal information**, no matter how urgent the request seems.
4. **Verify independently**—contact the bank through its official website, never through details in the email.
5. **Mark as spam and report** to your email provider.

**Remember:** A familiar name is not proof of identity. Always check the email address, not just the display name.
