Recap
In Parts 1, 2, and 3, I shared how my friendship with Abena Talks, aka Abena Edina Briana Jackson, evolved from mutual respect as writers on Medium to a trust-based relationship that she ultimately exploited.
Abena used her charm, credibility, and promises of easy remote work with guaranteed earnings to lure my husband and me into an elaborate scam. After paying thousands in upfront agency fees for freelance accounts and trusting her repeated reassurances, the red flags — missed deadlines, vague excuses, and a shady agency — became impossible to ignore.
By the end of November, the truth had become painfully clear: I had been duped by someone I once called a ‘friend.’
The job was fake! The agency was fake! The work was fake!
The entire remote job opportunity was part of Abena’s well-orchestrated scam, designed to gain our trust, exploit our vulnerability, and disappear without consequence.
Through research I discovered that Abena had scammed countless others using similar schemes — fake remote jobs, fake content investment schemes, fake counseling opportunities, and even all-expenses-paid trips — creating a web of deception through multiple online accounts.

Abena Lies Again!
It’s time to unveil yet another layer of deceit from Abena Edina Briana Jackson.
On December 6 2024, Abena sent me a screenshot of a supposed bank transfer. At first glance, it all seemed legitimate: my name is listed as the beneficiary, and the transfer amount is clearly stated as $2,500.04.
But this so-called transfer confirmation was nothing but a smokescreen, designed to create the illusion that she had sent me my money back.
If you’ve been following my story closely, then this probably wouldn’t come as a surprise to you, because you know that Abena is a pathological liar and a professional scammer.
Of course, No Funds Were Ever Received
Like I suspected, this transfer was all fake. It’s been over a month and not a single penny has arrived in my account. Abena has a history of sending fake screenshots to pacify her victims temporarily. This is not the first time she has used digital manipulation to “prove” she’s done something when she hasn’t. This is just a part of her elaborate scheme.
She did something similar (Sending fake screenshots) to Mehdi Jouay, you can check out his article here:
Convenient Silence:
When I emailed Abena back about the missing funds, Abena refused to provide any follow-up. No transaction ID, no bank reference number — nothing to prove that she indeed sent the money she owes me. In true Abena fashion, she’s subsequently ignored all my emails asking her to send me the transaction details.
Eventually, I stopped pursuing her because I realized I was being taken for a wild ride once again.
Why Would She Do This?
Abena thrives on creating chaos and confusion. By sending this fake confirmation, she hoped I would stop pursuing her for repayment, thinking she had already fulfilled her obligation. It’s a tactic designed to buy her more time while she preys on her next unsuspecting victim.
The Larger Pattern of Fraud
This incident is just one piece of a much larger puzzle of deceit. From emotional manipulation to outright theft, Abena’s behavior consistently reveals a person devoid of integrity, conscience or remorse.
I truly believe Abena is not only a pathological liar, and a criminal, but also a psychopath.
Here are more stories and snapshots of her other victims from Medium
This particular article by Tracy Sutherland — Internet and Affiliate Marketer and the comments underneath opened my eyes to the gravity and scope of Abena’s scams.
Reading them helped me realize Abena, my once so called “friend”, was nothing but a professional full-time scammer who continuously defrauds others to fund her digital nomad lifestyle.
My husband and I were not her only victims. Here are a few comments from her other victims below:
