Asked Nov 14, 2011, 10:01 AM — 46 Answers
How can i tell if i am not being scam for marriage. So far i seen her on Video cam several times, Spoke to her on Cell phone dozen of times,sent many photos of her that match her on video cam, She want me to go Ghana to meet her family. She did ask for little money but not much. She want to get married to me and want to come to US to start a family. She say there agent there can do the paper work and she say is easier to do it there than in USA. I did research some info here in USA and does take some time to paper work and money. Is she real or just playing with my heart.

mralabanza2012...if you go to the ghanaimmigration.org website you can see the actual cost for passports/visa and last time i check was 70.00 for express service but not sure if 280.00 included the fee for the agent who they say is processing all the docs..Go to the webpage and check the scam alert page maybe she is there the 1st women i was chatting with is on it, the blond hair women if you check the site out. let me know may be the same women you chatting with...Have you ever seen her on cam yet...if you seen her in beginning that would be it you will never again see her on cam again...they will have excuse not to....but perhaps this may be real or have her share the cost....let me know what happens

This second women emailed me her expired passport to me but found out is fake...I compared it to the fake and real passport formats on the ghanaimmigration.org website and found is same format as some of the fakes ones than the real ones. So what the F..k these people think we are!!! Born yesterday even i did give a little cash to the first women...This women already know I am going to check that website so how stupid is she...I talk to this women earlier today but does not talk or soumd like the chat or email like with the person i am talking with over the phone....I going to play her game for minute and see how she reacts...This women sent me a few pics of her to me to my house...if she was real sure would be a good thing but i guess now is not......and she again refuse to go on cam..This person suppose to be a teacher but but has few words to say always Uhhhmmmmm and seems has hard time getting the words out but when on chat has easier time with the words so tells me is someone else....I just hope the best for them and hope they stop all this scams

They keep trying because you keep talking, somewhere you want to believe, so they will try again, perhaps this time with a real passport, ( they do that do, by steal or borrow but buy or using someone with a real passport. So they will just improve. Since you sent money once and will keep talking with them, they think they have a chance. ( which they do, since you keep going back to them)

I found out that she was a scam. She goes by the name of qteye martey. I WAS LOOKING ON YOU TUBE UNDER SCAMS IN GHANA. anD I FOUND HER PICTURE ON THIS VIEDO.Now she is still saying that this is the work of this guy that brought her to the u.s.a a while back. This so call guy larry that she said put her picture on this video and now i belive that she is a scam artist. She place her ad on flirtomatic.com which is a free web site to chat with people.HERE IS THE INFORMATION THAT SHE GAVE ME TO SEND THE MONEY THAT I WAS GOING TO SEND HER: Name is teye martey country ghana zip code 00233 address is laplza 1st road.Now when i found out this i was thankfull that i did the research on her.when she sends me these letters they seem that they are scripted that someone is doing all the writeing on these love letters to me.IM GOING TO TRY TO CATCH HER ON REPORT HER TO THE PROPER PEOPLE SO NO ONE ELSE WILL GET SCAMMED.aNY IDEAS ON HOW I CAH PUT THIS PERSON AWAY FOR A LONG TIME FOR SCAMMING.i still have here email address its at qteye@yahoo.com hit here up and you will see what kind of b.s letters that she sends. I dont belive her anymore SHE IS A SCAM ARTIST JUST LOOKING FOR A QUICK BUCK.sHE ADMITTED THAT IT WAS HER PICTURE ON THIS VIDEO.Thats the answer i wanted to hear.

You move on with your life, and have no more contact with her.

There is nothing legal you can do, this type of activity is allowed in their nation, in fact most of it is ran and operated by large crime groups who may even control parts of the police and local governments.

We all lose money on some things, I have lost more than that on a bad "real life" date before. Many guys lose that much on a night at the strip club, and so on.
We live and learn, when matters of the heart are involved we often don't make smart choices

I know most of these women in Ghana are scammers be better find one locally or some personal referral to a women abroad and not talking just ghana. In the beginning they all show themselves on cam then after that is impossible to get them on cam. The first women say her computer broke or the cafe does not allow cam to i have to pay my internet connection at my home. THe second one say her computer broke also and she has to get a new one to I have to go to my friends house to use computer but still can not go on cam and always refuse to go on. For this simple task they can not show themselves and THeY MAKE IT A VERY BIG ISSUE.I going to play there game just to play there game. I tried to call the first one to see if she going to pick up the phone she never did so i got a skype account and my phone number is different and she pick it up but i did not say anything....so i assume she still scamming...but all looking for some money down the road whether it be 30.00 to 200.00 it adds up especially if they have many victims.....when i sent money it usually sent through Western union with a password to to receive it but better to have ID and another way of identification...
