Sakawa is a Ghanaian term for illegal practices which combine modern Internet-based fraud with African traditionalist rituals. The term or word Sakawa is an Hausa word which means putting inside, how to make money. The rituals, which are mostly in the form of sacrifices, are intended to spiritually manipulate victims so that the scammer's fraud is successful. The term Sakawa referred to specific online scams but has since broadened to include all types of online frauds and scams mainly targeting foreigners. The scammers flaunt stylish clothes, luxury cars, and enormous wealth, in order to promote this act. In impoverished areas, it can be seen as a way of survival for some.

| - Sakawa adalah istilah orang Ghana untuk menyebut praktik-praktik ilegal yang menggabungkan penipuan berbasis Internet dengan ritual fetish. Ritual yang sebagian besar berbentuk pengorbanan, dimaksudkan untuk memanipulasi korban secara rohani sehingga sang pelaku penipuan sukses menjalankan aksinya. Istilah Sakawa awalnya disebut untuk penipuan secara daring, tapi lama-kelamaan diperluas untuk mencakup semua jenis penipuan daring dan terutama yang menargetkan orang asing. Para pelaku penipuan memamerkan pakaian trendi, mobil mewah, dan bentuk kekayaan lainnya, dalam rangka untuk mempromosikan kelakuan mereka; sehingga di daerah miskin, hal ini dapat dilihat sebagai cara untuk mencari rejeki.
