I meet someone from Ghana and we text and chat on the webcam now she would like to come here with me and ask for money which I gave her to get a passport and now she askig for more. But need to know if the passport is real first. Her passport number is G0024848 can anyone help me. Thank you.

How much money have you sent? Through Western Union?

No, she is not real. This is a well-known scam. Romance Scams | Embassy of the United States Accra, Ghana (http://ghana.usembassy.gov/romance_scam.html)

We can't tell you if it's real by that number but what I can tell you is that you are being scammed. She is not going to come to you, she is only going to keep asking for money for fees and whatever else. This is a popular dating scam and it goes on all the time. She will keep telling you she wants to be with you and how much she loves you until the money stops... then you won't hear from her again and you will be out all that money with no way to recover it. Chances are, she is not even really a woman.

So tell me... how much did she get from you already?

$200.00 right now

Thanks everyone for your input. I guess she got me.

Sorry that this happened. It happens to a lot of people so don't feel like you're the only one. All you can do now is learn from it and not let it happen to you again.
