    Tell her that all your money is tied up in a CD and you need 50 dollars to pay the fee to get it.

Now she did ask me to send her/him $150.00 for shoes & a matching bag for the trip. I told her to take it out of the money I have already sent her. LOL. She said OK that she had it in her account. Wondering what will be next.

    LOL.. I may just do that. I wonder how long will this last. I told her I was going to have her passport checked out & she said OK she has nothing to hide. When they told me on here that her passport is not real. I don't know what kind of hand she/he trying to play. She says her father was a king, but he is dead now.

    Funny how EVERYONE from Africa claims to have decended from a King...

    Rodney King maybe... or Billy Jean King... oh wait... she didn't like guys... so that one wasn't likely.

    Go on Ghana HomePage, resource for News, Sports, Facts, Opinions, Business and Entertainment and join up. Then post her picture on it and asks if anyone knows her.
    Also look in the members section and see if her pic is there searching out more victims?
    See too if her pic is posted in the Ghana section of African Dating, African Women, African Singles & African Personals at AfroIntroductions.com ?

    Check on various sites that list scammers commonly used email addresses and see if her(or his) is listed? Once you are aware that game is being ran on you, do us all a favor and list hers(or his).
    Thank you

    PS: As an Afr American male, I have been to Ghana many times, ever up to one-year stays.
    Plenty dating site con-games ran out of the cyber cafes in GH and Nigeria... too many to count!

    Wow, seems that the country is full of scammers. I asked the last woman I was associated with over there if there was any honest people over there, or do they just do scamming USA people for their regular employment. The fear of the webcam is a huge red flag. Also, from all the pictures that I have seen through Ghana scammers typed into Google, these girls are living LARGE! Their apartments are much nicer than what I live in.!

    Hey Guys, watch out for Veronica Botwe, a white Canadian chick (ha ha) whose Daddy died when she was 4 and her Mom took her back to live in Ghana, atrocious english, she's 28 and looks pretty lethally drop dead gorgeous on the little time you see her on webcam, before "her connection fails" and then the webcam doesn't work, or she'd borrowed it from a friend who'd just come and taken it back. I'd asked her to wave with just 4 fingers of her right hand too hard, then asked her to put her right hand on her head, or either hand on her head, nope that wasn't happeneing either. But she wanted money for a new webcam. Was starving as she didn't work and was living with Mom, who (when asked for Mom to come to the camera) was suddenly sick in bed (poor dear).Gave her my email and she sent me 2 pics, which amazingly looked like someone else who'd tried to con me, even had the identical necklace, but no couldn't have been, that dear sweet girl was none other than Rosslyn Anderson from New York (funny her skype time, though with USA flag, had the same time as Ghana, how strange.(Do you detect a slight hint of sarcasm? Good)
    Back to Veronica though, when asked how long ago the pics were taken, she replied about one month before at a friend's house, well I tell you, poor starving Veronica sure moves in real high circles in Kumasi, Ghana, judging by the photos and wow how quick her hair had grown by the time I "saw her"on webcam
    (in the photo's she has a shortish bob) and hey presto just one month later, it's on her shoulders, I guess natural hair extensions are free for poor folk in Ghana, who have internet but can't afford a phone or even their next meal.When I revealed this to my "Blushing bride to be"(NOT), how strangely silent the message service on skype suddenly became from"her" side.
    Conclusion:- the grifters code (see TV program from UK "Hustle") "You can't con an honest person, it can't be done" (ie unachievable). I mentioned this to "Her" just before removing her from my skype contact list.
