Having met the 36 yr. old girl on intenet, we grew as friends and intimacy had to follow. So first there was $800 for (expidited) passport/visa). A week later, passport ready, she is told she needs medical records (like chicken pox etc.), and criminal file (required by Ghana Criminal Investigation Division)-- but, the cost is additional $1000. This is happening in Accra, Ghana; from which she plans to fly to U.S. Are these prices and documents for real or a scam? She seems honest.'

My dear, it is all a scam. You will never see her or your money again. You don't know how many times this question comes up... lots of money going to Ghana but no girls coming back. Here is another one:

What does she do/say that makes her appear honest?

Ghana must be an Internet hotbed!
