Ghanaian Student Henry Opoku Ware Jr. Accused of $11,000 Card Fraud in

A Ghanaian international student who worked as a personal care assistant in Duluth, Minnesota, has been charged over allegations that he used a client’s credit card to make more than $11,000 in payments, including his university tuition.

Henry Opoku Ware Jr faces charges of financial transaction card fraud and financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult, according to the Duluth Police Department.
Court documents allege that Ware visited the client’s home in late July 2025 and, on the same day, used her credit card to make a payment to the College of St. Scholastica, where he was enrolled. Investigators allege that a total of $11,152.22 was charged to the card between July and August 2025.
The client is a blind elderly woman. She, her husband and their children told investigators they had not given Ware permission to use the card.

Financial records reviewed during the investigation allegedly showed the charges included a payment towards Ware’s tuition along with other online purchases. The College of St. Scholastica later confirmed the transactions and refunded the money to the client.

Charges were filed against Ware in mid-October 2025. Court documents say he is an international student from Ghana who has since been expelled from the college. He told school officials he did not intend to return to Duluth to collect his belongings.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The allegations against Ware have not been tested in court, and he has not entered a plea.
