    Romance scam
    I was sent a pass port from a girl in Ghana and is missing the year she was born and she looks like a girl that was younger on a 419 scam can I sent to you?And she needs help to get her pass port renewed yet the address she wants it sent to is 23 south campus rd. Winnieba I looked it up and it on a courner of the cllage.She explains that the country is not good by the address she lives?Please help me do what I should do.One the first e-mails she contacted me by now shows an Africin lady yet her new e-mail shows her as I have been sent many pitures of her.Should the police be informed as I have read some of the people involved in 419 are still at large?

    There are much more than a single gang running these scams.
    They are very much alive and well and conning people out of their money, despite the heavily documented warnings there are around.

    There are dozens of businesses that run these scams in Ghana, the local police know them and may even be helping them with copies of passports, ID and more.

    So you stop contact and stop emailing them.
    As soon as you saw the date missing you know it is a fake. ** by the way most fakes are done professionally and you can't even tell. Except at times the photo looks a little off.

    So this must be one of the smaller groups or independent person doing it.

    Just stop, don't answer another email, no you don't report it, no one cares, no one will do anything about it. If you sent any money it is just gone, you will not get it back
