According to reports, Koo Ofori is accused of scamming a Ghanaian living in the United States out of $50,000 (about GH₵750,000). The victim, who lives in California, is said to have sent the money to Koo Ofori for what he thought was a genuine investment deal.

Further information reveals that he also failed to pay back the money and did not show up in court on April 17, 2025, after he was summoned. Because of that, the court issued a warrant for his arrest.
