Businessman Ernesto Taricone has publicly disassociated himself from an online investment platform known as GCB Investments.
In a statement, Taricone, a shareholder of Trassaco Estate Development Ltd, stressed that he has no connection with the platform and urged Ghanaians to disregard any claims linking him to it.
His clarification follows the circulation of an online campaign promoting GCB Investments as a financial breakthrough for Ghana. Taricone cautioned the public to treat such claims as false and avoid engaging with the scheme.
The businessman explained that the platform is designed to mislead people with promises of financial independence and quick returns, luring unsuspecting individuals into paying money to fraudsters.
On Thursday, August 28, 2025, his lawyer, Martin Kpebu, reinforced the warning in a Facebook post, describing GCB Investments as a scam.
